Constantine ended up as sole ruler over the Roman Empire. On his way to conquer the city of Rome, he saw a sign in the sky in the form of Christ's cross, with the words, In Hoc Signo Vinces under it (in this sign you will conquer). After the eastern emperor died and Constantine became the sole ruler of the empire, he removed the laws making Christianity illegal and eventually made it the sole religion of the Roman empire. Constantine, himself, did not convert until his death bed, but he made Christianity legal, and used it to unify his empire. See link below.
