Abstract (EN)

Christianity had been sprayed all over the Roman Empire in discretion during three centuries. By the same time the Christians were obliged to undergo divers persecution of the Roman pagans' groups. Sometime their properties and whatever they possessed were to be confiscated by pagans. Constantine after becoming emperor came to the rescue of the Roman persecuted Christians. Constantine introduce Christianism among the Roman Empire's religions by allocating to it a legal statute. Before Constantine, religion and state were known as separated entities but after his ascension to the head the Roman Empire, he brought both religion and states' affaires under the control of the state. Constantin did more by solving the division in the church and calling for an ecumenical council at Nicaea in 325 A.D. Constantin is as far as very important for Christians as are apostles Paul, Peter. While he was the lone leader of the Roman Empire he achieved social, economic, political and religious reforms. Due to some strategic plan he removed the capital from Rome to Byzantium where he settled "Constantinopolis" as Christianism new capital. In order rote Christianism in his new capital Constantine build many churches and promoted some religious cultures. But he died in 336 A.D. after baptism when he was suffering from a serious illness.
