Why did the Romans bid on Jesus' cloak and did it have a value?

The Romans did not bid on Jesus' robe. According to the Gospel of John the soldiers who crucified Jesus divided his clothes into four parts (presumably four soldiers shared the items). They decided who would have his chiton (tunic or coat) by casting lots for it because it was woven in one piece and was seamless and they did not want to tear it. The significance of this for John was that with this event "the saying in Scripture was fulfilled." John was referring to Psalm 21:18-19 in the Old Testament which said: "they divided My raiment among them, and upon My vesture did they cast lots"
This garment had been variously called the Seamless Robe of Jesus, the Holy Robe, the Holy Tunic, the Honorable Robe, and the Chiton of the Lord. According to legend, Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great, discovered the seamless robe in the Holy Land in 327 or 328 along with several other relics, including the True Cross. There was various traditions which claim that the robe is now preserved in different places: Cathedral of Trier, a church in Argenteuil (both places are in France) in a cathedral in Mtskheta, in Georgia, and some pieces of it ended up in the cathedral at the Winter Palace, and in the Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Saint Petersburg, the Cathedral of the Dormition in Moscow, the Sophia Cathedral in Kiev and the Ipatiev monastery in Russia.

How long did Constantine rule Rome?
There was no such thing as a United Roman Empire, no such title ever occurred. There was always just one title: Roman Empire. This empire was never divided. There had been alternations of periods of co-emperorship and periods with a sole emperor. In the early days of co-emperorship, this involved an emperor in charge of the east or west and his son in charge of the other part as a co-emperor. Later there were times when the co-emperors were brothers. Not long before Constantine's bid for power, the emperor Diocletian created the tetrarchy (rule by four) where the empire was ruled by two senior emperors (Augusti, plural, Augustus, singular) and two junior emperors (Caesar(s)). Each of these men was in charge of one the four administrative units of the empire which Diocletian had created: the praetorian prefectures. These were subunits of a sole empire. Constantine was the sole emperor of the Roman Empire for thirteen years, from 324 to his death in 337. In 306 Constantine became the Caesar of the praetorian prefecture of Galliae (Britain, Gaul and Hispania). In 309 he declared himself Augustus of the west, but was not actually in charge of the whole of the west because Maxentius, a usurper, was in charge of the praetorian prefecture of Italia et Africa. In 312 Constantine defeated Maxentius in a civil war and became effectively the Augustus of the west until 324. In 324 he won a civil war against his co-emperor, Licinius, the Augustus of the east, and become sole emperor.
What role women did women play in the roman empire?
They were responsible for looking after the children and maintaining the household. Their other responsibilities depended on the position of their families. Farmers would work on the land, in cities they would help their craftsmen-husbands or work in stores.
