Constantine is most well known for setting in train the process that made Christian domination of the Roman Empire inevitable. While it was beyond the ability of one man in a single lifetime to convert the citizens of the empire from devout faith in the pagan gods to Christianity, the process had become almost inevitable by the time of his death. He achieved this by giving the Christian Church state patronage, publicly repudiating his pagan responsibilities, and eventually by persecuting and plundering the pagan temples.

He is famous for receiving a vision (telling him to put a certain symbol on all his men's shields) shortly before a major battle for the control of Rome. He did so and subsequently won. He then converted to Catholicism and most of the Empire followed suit, making him responsible for the establishment of Christianity as a mainstream religion in its own right. He also moved roman capitol

Constantine I is remember for many things but, the two which are most famous are:

1. Selecting the site for and building the new Capital of the eastern part of the Empire moving from it Nicomedia (52 miles further west) to Byzantium (renamed to Constantinople ... now Istanbul, Turkey.)

2. Promulgating the Edit of Milan (in conjunction with co-emperor Licinius) in 313 AD which reiterated the toleration of Christianity established by the Edict of Toleration by (emperor) Galerius of 311 AD and extended it to all the religions across the Empire. These two acts ended the persecution of the large Christian population of the empire.

3) Building many early Christian churches, including the Old Basilica of St Peter's (which later fell into disrepair and was replaced by the current one), the Papal Archbasilica of St John Lateran (the cathedral of Rome and the original residence of the popes) the Church of the Apostles in Constantinople and the church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
