Constantine reigned from 306-337 C.E. following Diocletian who reigned 284-305C.E. In 305 Diocletian retired and compelled his co-emperor to do the same. But his plan for a smooth succession failed completely. In 310 there were five competing emperors. Out of this chaos Constantine produced order. In 324 he (Constantine) defeated his last opponent (Licinius) and made himself sole emperor, uniting the empire once again.

We cannot answer this question if you do not tell us what the following are. Important moments in Constantine's career were:

1) His victory in the civil war against Maxentius, a usurper emperor who held Rome and Italy. With this victory he became the emperor of the western part of the empire.

2) The issuing of the Edict of Milan in conjunction with his co-emperor, Licinius (the emperor of the eastern part of the empire) which finalised the end of the great Persecution of the Christians which had been started by the Edict of Toleration by (Emperor) Galerius two years earlier.

3) His victory in his civil war against Licinius which made him sole emperor of the whole empire.

4) His redevelopment of the city of Byzantium, which he made the new capital of the eastern part of the empire and renamed Constantinople. The previous capital of the east had been the nearby Nicomedia.
