Flavius Valerius Constantinus, who became known as "Constantine the Great", was the first Roman Emperor to embrace Christianity and implement major change during his reign.  Constantine's personal religious beliefs have been a topic of speculation and intrigue since the 4th century.

Some historians believe that the Emperor Constantine had a dramatic conversion to Christianity early in his life during his rule over the Empire. Others believe he experienced his absolute conversion to Christianity on his deathbed in 337 AD. What we do know for sure is that The Edict of Milan, issued in 313 CE, was a proclamation by Roman Emperors Constantine and Licinius that granted religious tolerance throughout the Roman Empire, particularly benefiting Christians who had previously faced persecution It mandated the freedom to worship any deity and ensured the return of confiscated property to Christian communities. What starts with Constantine, as the first Christian Roman Emperor, goes much further in later years when Jesus Christ is depicted on coinage of the Empire, unified by Christianity, well after the collapse of Rome.
