Constantine the Great (Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus), born 265, died in May, 336 or 337, buried in the
church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople. He was of British birth and education, and is known as the first Christian
Emperor. With a British army he set out to put down the persecution of Christians forever. The greatest of all Roman
Emperors, he annexed Britain to the Roman Empire and founded Constantinople. In the year 321 he decreed that the
Christian Sunday be truly observed as a day of rest. In 325 he assembled the Council of Nicea in Bithynia, Asia Minor, which
he attended in person. This Council formulated the Nicene Creed. The following edict of Constantine sets forth the
standards of his life: "We call God to witness, the Savior of all men, that in assuming the government we are influenced
solely by these two considerations - the uniting of the empire in one faith, and the restoration of peace to a world rent in
pieces by the insanity of religious persecution." By his first wife (1) Minervina he was father of Flavius Valerius Crispus
Caesar. He married (2) Fausta, sister of his step-mother, Theodora. Fausta and Theodora and their brother Maxentius were
children of Maximinus, Roman Emperor (286-305). One writer, Brewer, said he was a giant, eight feet, six inches tall! His
son Maxentius, Emperor (310-311), married Valeria, daughter of Galerius, Emperor (310-311), and his wife, Valeria, who
was daughter of Diocletian, Emperor (284-305). Fausta and Constantine the Great had three sons: Constantine II.,
Constantius II., and Constants I., and a daughter, Helen, wife of Julian the Apostate.
