He then won a civil war against Maxentius, a usurper emperor who had taken over Italy (after which he became emperor of the west) and another civil war against his co-emperor Licinius (the emperor of the east). 2) Finalising the end of the great Persecution of Christians. The edict of Milan agreed with Licinius reiterated the toleration of the Christians decreed two years earlier by the Edict of Toleration by (emperor) Galerius and provided for the return of Christian property which had been confiscated during the persecution. 3) Moving the Capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire from Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) to the nearby Byzantium. Constantine redeveloped it and renamed it Constantinople (City of Constantine). 4) Resolving the problem of inflation which had been plaguing the empire for a long time and caused its economy to decline. Constantine did so by amassing gold and issuing a new gold coin (the solidus) which proved to be stable. 5) Building important Christian churches. Constantine built the original Basilica of St Peter's in Rome, the St John Lateran's Basilica (the city of Rome's first Cathedral and the original residence of the Popes), the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople and Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
