Show transcript
By 312 CE, Constantine had become the emperor of the Western Roman Empire by defeating his rivals in many battles.
Before one of these battles he had a vision of a cross; he ordered his soldiers to paint crosses on their shields.
Constantine converted to Christianity, saying all religions could be practised and Christians should not be persecuted.
In 324 CE, Constantine became sole emperor of the Roman Empire and in 330 CE created a new eastern capital.
In 325 CE, Constantine brought together Christian bishops to try to agree the first set of rules about Christianity.
