It is not clear whether Constantine the Great (Flavius Valerius Constantinus) a full Roman or a half Roman and half Bithynian. He was born in Naissus (present day Nis, southern Serbia) in the Roman province of Dardania which was in the Roman Diocese of Moesia (the Balkan Peninsula west of the river Danube and north Greece). His father Constantius Chlorus (Marcus Flavius Valerius Constantius) was a Roman native of Dardania. Very little is known about the early life of his mother Helena (or St Helena). It was said that she was a Bithynian woman of low social standing. Bithynia was an area in north-western Turkey which was part of the Roman province of Bithynia and Pontus. The sources do not clarify whether she was a Roman of a Bithynian. It probably did not matter because by then Bithynia was thoroughly Latinised. Her name was Flavia Iulia Helena. It is not clear whether Flavia was derived from her having married into the Flavia clan. It is not even clear whether she was married to Constantius. Some sources claimed that she was Constanius' wife, some claim that she was a stable-maid, while others claim that she was a concubine.

All Roman emperors were Romans up to Leo I the Thracian, (reign, 401 - 474) who was dubbed barbarian by many Romans because he was not a Roman.
