In the late ancient period of the Roman Empire, Constantine ("the Great," as he is often labeled) was tremendously important for several reasons. For one thing, he brought much-needed stability to Rome after years of civil strife. For another thing, his adoption of the Christian faith brought Christianity into the center of Roman civilization and thus into the center of European life as a whole -- even long after Rome itself was no longer influential in Europe.

Constantine is important in the history of Christianity because he was the first Christian Emperor. This meant that he could then legalize Christianity and abolish things that the previous Emperors had put into place, such as, Crucifixion and Infanticide. He also had Christian advisers and made Sunday a day of Rest and Worship to God. He also made 25th December Jesus' birthday rather than 'the Unconquered Son God's.'Constantine being a Christian also meant that he could spread Christianity easily. For example, when his armies conquered somewhere he gave the people living there a choice. Convert to Christianity or die.
