Constantine the Great- 312

Today, I interviewed Emperor Constantine.

Q: When did you become emperor?
A: I became emperor in 312 after Diocletian under the Byzantine Empire.

Q: What was the Edict of Milan?
A: It granted freedom of worship to all citizens of the Roman Empire and created religious tolerance.

Q: What else did you do for the Byzantine Empire?
A: I started to favor Christianity more and more to try and get people to worship that religion. It eventually became the official religion of the Roman empire. I also moved the capital to Constantinople, which is known today as Istanbul in Turkey.
