None. You are asking about a myth connected with the emperor Constantine. For starters, Constantine never converted to Christianity during his lifetime.

How did Christianity grow so powerful in rome?
More than anyone before him, Emperor Constantine ensured the acceptance, success and long-term survival of Christianity. True, Christianity was already well established and generally tolerated in the Roman Empire, especially in the Greek-speaking east, long before the fourth century, but Constantine gave the religion state patronage, offered career preferment to those who claimed to be Christians, and began the long persecution of the pagan temples. From this time, and with this impetus, Christianity spread quickly in the Roman Empire.

How Constantine favored the Christian church?
The most accepted reason for Constantine's toleration is found in the writings of Roman Historian Eusebius.When a usurper Maxcensus take control of Rome. Constantine is contemplating marching his army to Rome to face the usurper, and asks the heavens (pagan gods, Jesus, whomever) for a sign that this was the correct choice to make. Constantine looks to the sky to see a halo cross to the left of the sun, the 'sol evictus'. Then that evening Christ comes to Constantine in a dream.Constantine marches to Rome and easily defeats Maxcensus, contributing the victory to Christ.There are other speculations as well. Constantine's father thought to have tolerated Christians to some extent. Constantine may have given toleration as a political move, because he knew Christianity was on the rise and he needed to accommodate it.Sources:Eusebius, Life of ConstantineConstantine, Oration of the Saints
