Roman Post 4: MVP

Constantine is the MVP of the Roman Era. Also known as Constantine the Great, he was born circa 271 AD to Constantinus I and Helena. Constantine defeated all of his challengers and kept his powerful position as emperor. He is most known for reuniting the empire that would have been divided between many different emperors. Constantine was the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity.

He was so awesome that in the Christian church, he is known as Saint Constantine. Constantine successfully fought against the Franks, Alamanni, Visigoths, and Sarmatians during his reign. In his 31-year rule, Constantine kept the entire empire together and after his death Constantinople was named the new capital of the Byzantine empire. He was also the first to use a cross as an emblem in his flag. He earned the nickname "The Great" from the church for his many great contributions to the religion. This is why Constantine THE GREAT is the obvious MVP of the Roman era!
