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.

I guess that by Constantine you mean Constantine the Great. Constantine and Ambrose were not really contemporaries. Ambrose was only 7 when Constantine died. He was not involved in decisions regarding the empire. Ambrose is better known as St Ambrose. He was the bishop of Milan and one of the Latin doctors of the Church, or 'fathers' of the Catholic Church. His theology contributed to laying the foundation of the Catholic doctrine. In payed an important part in shaping the doctrine of the immaculate conception. He saw virginity as superior to marriage and Mary as a model for this. His writings on ethics were also important. He also opposed the Arianism of emperor Velentinian II.
