If the intent of this question is to ask who was the first Christian Emperor of Rome, then the following are answers:
- Constantine I the Great is the first Roman Emperor known to have been baptized.
- It is possible that Philip the Arab was baptized, as it is understood that he was tolerant toward Christians and there is an account saying he was Christian recorded by Eusebius. This is not regarded as firmly historic, however.
There are accounts of monarchs of other countries being baptized early on, and one of these was the Askumite king Ezana II, who is said to have been baptized in about 324 AD. While there are other monarchs who are said to have been baptized earlier, they are called kings, and there is no one calling them emperor, which is a title given to Ezana.

NOTE: The earlier answer to this question became a debate and so was moved to the discussion area. Please do not turn the answer back into a debate. If you have something of value to add that is new, that is fine. If you want to debate, however, it belongs in the discussion.

Who was the first Christian Roman Emperor?
AnswerThe general consensus is that Emperor Constantine I (306-337) was the first Christian emperor of Rome. Certainly, he made his support for Christianity clear. Some say that Emperor Philip (Philip the Arab, 244-249) was a Christian and was therefore the first Christian emperor. This is difficult to prove as, unlike Constantine, Philip gave no undue support to Christianity and made no attempt to persecute the pagan temples or discourage their use.Others argue that Constantine was not a true Christian, and only chose to make the Empire Christian to unite it under one faith.
