Constantine First off, there are two reasons we study Constantine more than any other Roman Caesar. He split the Roman Empire by creating a capital of Rome in present-day Istanbul. He converted to Christianity and, by extension, made Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire. Timeline Constantine 2000 B.C. 1500 B.C. 1000 B.C. 500 B.C. B.C. A.D. 500 A.D. 1000 A.D. 1500 A.D. 2000 A.D.

Constantine About his life: He was born in 272 or 274 and died in 337. His father Constantius Chlorus, was a great Roman general and later became Emperor of the Western Roman Empire. At the time of his birth the great Roman Empire was in decline. He was very well educated – mostly thanks to his mother. Timeline Constantine 2000 B.C. 1500 B.C. 1000 B.C. 500 B.C. B.C. A.D. 500 A.D. 1000 A.D. 1500 A.D. 2000 A.D.

Constantine About his life: He spent much of his early life in present-day southern France. He followed his father to battles in England but his father died there. Through a series of carefully planned battles he eventually became the Emperor of Western Rome. Timeline Constantine 2000 B.C. 1500 B.C. 1000 B.C. 500 B.C. B.C.

A.D. 500 A.D. 1000 A.D. 1500 A.D. 2000 A.D.

Constantine About his life: While he was Emperor of the western part of the Empire, a man named Licinius, was emperor of the eastern part. At first they agreed to get along and followed the Edict of Milan, allowing all religions to exist and practice. Later, Licinius went back on his promise. Eventually the two went to war and Constantine defeated Licinius’ army. Timeline Constantine 2000 B.C. 1500 B.C. 1000 B.C. 500 B.C. B.C. A.D. 500 A.D. 1000 A.D. 1500 A.D. 2000 A.D.

Constantine About his life: This put Constantine in the position to become emperor of the entire Roman Empire. Later in his life he moved the capital of the empire to the Straits of Bosporus. Timeline Constantine 2000 B.C. 1500 B.C. 1000 B.C. 500 B.C. B.C. A.D. 500 A.D. 1000 A.D. 1500 A.D. 2000 A.D.

Constantine About his life: At the Battle of Milvian Bridge Constantine claimed to have had a vision, at mid-day, that showed a cross floating in the sky above him. Near the cross were the words, “In this, conquer.” Constantine inscribed the sign of the cross on his soldiers shields. His armies gained the victory. This was the first time Christianity was enforced by military power. Timeline Constantine 2000 B.C. 1500 B.C. 1000 B.C. 500 B.C. B.C. A.D. 500 A.D. 1000 A.D. 1500 A.D. 2000 A.D.

Constantine About his work: By the time Constantine defeated Licinius at the Battle Hellespont, the Roman Empire had gone about as far as it could go. The empire was just too big to be run in the way it had been. At this time, Constantine decided to move the capital of the empire to the Bosporus. The city became Constantinople. Timeline Constantine 2000 B.C. 1500 B.C. 1000 B.C. 500 B.C. B.C. A.D. 500 A.D. 1000 A.D. 1500 A.D. 2000 A.D.

Constantine About his work: By moving the capital of the empire Constantine took the focus of Rome away from the western Mediterranean and turned it east toward Asia and the Middle East. This became the root of the Byzantine Empire. Timeline Constantine 2000 B.C. 1500 B.C. 1000 B.C. 500 B.C. B.C. A.D. 500 A.D. 1000 A.D. 1500 A.D. 2000 A.D.

Constantine About his work: Constantine also forced the Christian leaders to convene the Council of Nicaea to settle some very controversial questions about the nature of God the Father and Christ. The result was the Nicene Creed. This became the basis of Christian belief for many years to follow. Timeline Constantine 2000 B.C. 1500 B.C. 1000 B.C. 500 B.C. B.C.
