When Constantine became the first christian emperor what incident led to his conversation to Christianity?
While he was marching against his rival in the Imperial Civil War, he saw a vision of the Chi (X) Rho (P) transposed over each other (☧).This was a Christian symbol which was formed from the first two Greek letters of the word for Christ, and symbolised the crucifixion of Christ. He ordered all his soldiers to paint the superimposed Chi Rho on their shields before engaging the enemy [His mother was a devoted Christian; so he was predisposed to accept Christianity]. His actual conversion, however did not occur--if, in fact, it did occur--until he was on his deathbed. There are two traditions about events which preceded the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD in which Constantine the Great took the city of Rome from an usurper whose troops were twice as numerous. According to Lactantius, he was visited by a dream the night before which advised him "to mark the heavenly sign of God on the shields of his soldiers...by means of a slanted letter X with the top of its head bent round…" According to Eusebius, while marching at midday, Constantine " saw with his own eyes in the heavens a trophy of the cross arising from the light of the sun, carrying the message, with this sign, you will conquer". The following night he had a dream, in which Christ appeared with the same heavenly sign, and told him to make a standard, the labarum, for his army in that form. The labrarium a military standard with had the "Chi-Rho" symbol on it. This did not constitute a conversion and might have been a ploy to galvanise the Christians among his troops gain the support of the many Christians in the city of Rome. . Although after the battle Constantine ignored the sacrifices to the Roman gods which customarily followed a victory, he was careful to try to appease the Christian and pagan factions. Constantine continued to observe Roman religion. He was keen on celebrating Apollo and the sun-god. He retained the title of Pontifex Maximus (the head of Roman state religion) throughout his life. The triumphal Arch of Constantine which celebrated his victory at the battle of the Milvian Bridge and which was dedicated in 315 AD bore pagan symbols and no Christian symbols. In 321 he instructed Christians and non-Christians to observe the venerable day of the sun, the day of the cult of sun-worship. Roman coins had pagan gods on them for 8 years after the battle. Even after that, Christian symbols appeared only as Constantine's personal attributes. The Chi Rho was between his hands or on his labarum but never on the coins themselves. It is not certain whether Constantine converted to Christianity. It was said that he was lying dying in the city of Nicomedia he spoke of his hope to be baptised in the River Jordan, where Christ was said to have been baptized, requested the baptism straight away. According to Eusebius, the bishops performed the sacred ceremonies according to custom" in Nicomedia. However, it is not certain whether these words actually meant baptism or whether these events actually occurred.
