How did Constantine bring a significant change to the Roman Empire?

When Emperor Diocletian abdicated, there were to be two Augusti (senior emperors) and two Caesars (junior emperors).Constantine's father, Constantius I, who was Caesar in the West, died in 306. In the style of a military coup, the troops in Britain hailed Constantine as Augustus, with the support of a German king, Crocus or Erocus, who was their ally. Galerius conceded Constantine the rank of Caesar, but making Severus his fellow Augustus. Constantine ostensibly accepted this arrangement. Shortly afterwards, Maxentius, who had also been passed over, asserted himself by a rebellion, at first calling himself princeps, but then Augustus. his father, Maximian, also returned to the throne, claiming the role of Augustus.By 308, Constantine re-assumed the rank of Augustus and Galerius was obliged to acknowledge the claim. What followed was a series of civil wars, as various contenders vied for supremacy in the Roman Empire. On 3 July 324, the armies of Constantine and Licinius clashed outside Hadrianopolis, and in one of the biggest battles of the entire fourth century, Constantine became sole emperor of Rome.Emperor Constantine is usually regarded as having ruled as Roman Emperor from 306 to 337 CE.


What are 3 things that the byzantine empire is known for?

The Byzantine Empire is best know for its role in spreading Christianity and for its capital city, Constantinople, which was originally Byzantium, but Emperor Constantine moved the capital from Rome to Constantinople during the last years of the Roman Empire. Back to Christianity, the Byzantines spread Christianity throughout their lands from Russia to modern-day Turkey. The spread of Christianity stopped when the Umayyad Caliphate in the Middle East rapidly began conquering lands and making many people change from Christianity to Islam.


Constantine became the roman empire's what?

There were two called Constantine, the most famous being Constantine the Great, who became Emperor from 306 until his death in 337 AD. The son of army officer Flauvius Constantius and his wife Helena, he was the first Roman Emperor to embrace Christianity- in 227 he summoned an Ecumenical Council at Nicea where the Nicene Creed was adopted, and the date of Easter fixed. He was 63 years old when he died. He was succeeded by his son Constantine II, who was meant to serve as co-Emperor alongside his two brothers. However, he attempted to excede his rights of primogeniture and died after a 'reign' of only 3 years at the age of just 24, when attempting to re-take Italy for the Roman Empire which was collapsing under successive massive raids by Goth and Hun barbarian tribes, largely due to having overstretched the limits of it's power.

When was the reign of Constantine?

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.

What where some of Constantine's accomplishments?

Some of the accomplishments of Constantine I (or the Great) were: 1) Becoming the sole emperor of the whole of the Roman Empire. Constantine started off being a junior emperor in charge of Britain, Gaul and Spain. He then won a civil war against Maxentius, a usurper emperor who had taken over Italy (after which he became emperor of the west) and another civil war against his co-emperor Licinius (the emperor of the east). 2) Finalising the end of the great Persecution of Christians. The edict of Milan agreed with Licinius reiterated the toleration of the Christians decreed two years earlier by the Edict of Toleration by (emperor) Galerius and provided for the return of Christian property which had been confiscated during the persecution. 3) Moving the Capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire from Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) to the nearby Byzantium. Constantine redeveloped it and renamed it Constantinople (City of Constantine). 4) Resolving the problem of inflation which had been plaguing the empire for a long time and caused its economy to decline. Constantine did so by amassing gold and issuing a new gold coin (the solidus) which proved to be stable. 5) Building important Christian churches. Constantine built 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.
