What reforms did emperor Constantine make to the Roman Empire?

Constantine the Great ended the tetrarchy (rule by four), a system with four co-emperors which had been instituted by the emperor Diocletian, by winning two civil wars and becoming sole emperor. However, he retained Diocletian's other administrative reforms: the doubling of the number of provinces of the empire, their grouping into twelve dioceses headed by an imperial official (the vicarious), the subdivision of the empire into four praetorian prefectures, the separation of civil power and military command, the reduction in the civil duties of the provincial governors (which were now shared with the vicarii) and the doubling of the size of the imperial bureaucracy. Constantine ended the political and administrative marginalisation of the senatorial rank which had taken place in the previous decades. He opened many administrative posts to the senatorial rank, elevated new people to this rank, and allowed the senate to appoint two types of officials, the praetors and quaestors (instead of their being appointed by the emperor). This reform was aimed at getting the support of the old aristocracy. Constantine carried out a monetary reform to try to tackle the problem of runaway inflation, which had been caused by the devaluation of the gold and silver coins which whose precious metal content had repeatedly been decreased, making them worthless. Constantine issued a new god coin (the solidus) and concentrated on issuing large quantities of this coin. The solidus became the standard of the currency system. In the long run this stabilised the currency. However, the poor, who could not afford gold coins, had to rely on copper coins which were vulnerable to inflation. Constantine completed the termination of the Great Persecution of Christians which had been decreed in the Edict of Toleration by the emperor Galerius in 311. In 313, together with his then co-emperor Licinius, he issued the edict of Milan, which reiterated the toleration of Christianity and ordered the restitution of Christian property which had been confiscated during the persecution. This edict was aimed at a co-emperor in charge of Egypt and the Levant who had continued the persecution there, ignoring Galerius' edict.


Who was Constantine and why was he important for Christianity?

After Jesus and Paul, Constantine is perhaps the most important person for the development of the early Christian Church. That is why I chose him. What is most important to remember about Constantine is that he ascended the throne of an empire Christianity filled Constantine's need for a basis of religious unity quite well. Christians may have been a minority through the empire but they were a well-organized minority. First, Constantine moved to eliminate the external challenges posed by paganism, destroying their temples and books.

When did Constantine shift power from west to east?

Roman Emperor Constantine I redeveloped the Greek city of Byzantium, renamed it Constantinople after himself (it means City of Constantine) and designated it as his imperial seat. He also established a senate there similar to that in Rome. This shifted power from the western part to the eastern part of the Roman Empire only to a very relative extent. There had been co-emperorships with one emperor is charge of the west and one charge in the east (which thus distributing power both in the west and the east) for some time. Moreover, Rome had already ceased to be the capital of the Empire under the emperor Diocletian. He had designated Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) as the capital of the east and Milan (in northern Italy) as the capital of the west. Constantine shifted his capital to a location only some 60 miles to the wast of Nicomedia. Milan became the capital of the west again under the Valentinian dynasty, which had a co-emperorship with an emperor in charge of the west (whose seat was Milan) and an emperor in charge of the east (whose seat was Constantinople). This arrangement continued under the Theodosian dynasty. The capital of the west was moved from Milan to Ravenna (also in northern Italy) in 402.


Why did Constantine kill fausta?

There is no clear cut answer as to why Constantine killed Fausta (and also his son, Crispus). Fausta was killed at the request of Constantine's mother, Helena, which is about all we know as for motive. There are myths and stories and speculation, but these are all attributed to later writers whose facts are suspect. In Constantine's own time, everything was hushed up.There is no clear cut answer as to why Constantine killed Fausta (and also his son, Crispus).

What significant event in history were Constantine a part of?

Constantine the Great was not part of any significant events in History. His reign was part of a process. It was the first step of the process which led to the imperial endorsement of Christianity.Constantine ended a system of co-emperorship by winning two civil wars and became sole emperor of the Roman Empire. Before he became sole emperor he issued, together with his co-emperor Licinius, the Edict of Milan whose aim was to finalise the termination of the Great persecution of the Christians which had been started by the emperor Diocletian and whose termination had been decreed two years earlier by the emperor Galerius in his Edict of Toleration. A junior emperor in the Roman territories in western Asia and in Egypt had ignored the edict of Galerius. As sole emperor Constantine favoured Christianity. He built important Christian churches in Rome, Constantinople and Jerusalem. He convened synods and councils to try to resolve disputes between rival Christian doctrines. He promoted Christians within the imperial administration. All but one of the subsequent emperors where Christians. The next few emperors introduced anti-pagan laws. Then the co-emperors Theodosius I and Gratian issued the Edict of Thessalonica which made mainstream Christianity (Latin or Western Church and the Greek or Eastern Church) the state religion and the sole legitimate religion in the empire. It also banned the dissident Christian doctrines, which were branded as heretic. Theodosius also persecuted the dissident doctrines, introduced further anti-pagan laws, persecuted the pagans and destroyed pagan temples and shrines.
