Emperor Constantine was a Roman emperor during the 4th century. The moment of Constantine’s conversion was tied by two Christian narrators to a military campaign against a political rival, Maxentius.

His main objective was to gain total approval and submission to his authority from all classes, and therefore chose Christianity to conduct his political propaganda, believing that it was the most appropriate religion that could fit with the Imperial cult.

A few centuries after Constantine’s ‘conversion’, Christianity appeared to be accepted as the established religion, sponsored by emperors and protected in law.
