Constantine I of Constantine the Great was originally a co-emperor who was in charge of part of the Roman Empire: Britain, Gaul and Spain. He then fought two civil wars against the other co-emperors and become sole emperor in 324. He supported Christianity. He ended the last remnants of the Great (an last) Persecution of the Christians which had started in 303. He promoted Christians to high offices in the imperial administration and arbitrated disputes between various Christian theologies. He built Christian churches, most notably, 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.

Constantine also moved the capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire from Nicomedia (in northwestern Turkey) to the nearby Byzantium (originally a Greek city), redeveloped it and renamed it Constantinople. He also resolved the problem of hyperinflation which had been plaguing the empire for a long time.
