Amid the rule of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great (AD 306– 337), Christianity started to change to the predominant religion of the Roman Empire. Antiquarians stay unverifiable about Constantine's purposes behind favoring Christianity, and scholars and history specialists have frequently contended about which type of early Christianity he bought in to. There is no agreement among researchers with respect to whether he embraced his mom Helena's Christianity in his childhood, or, as guaranteed by Eusebius, urged her to change over to the confidence himself. A few researchers question the degree to which he ought to be viewed as a Christian head: "Constantine considered himself to be a 'sovereign of the Christian individuals'. On the off chance that this made him a Christian is the subject of ... debate,"[1][2][attribution needed] despite the fact that he professedly got an absolution without further ado before his death.[3]
Constantine's choice to stop the abuse of Christians in the Roman Empire was a defining moment for early Christianity, in some cases alluded to as the Triumph of the Church, the Peace of the Church or the Constantinian move. In 313, Constantine and Licinius issued the Edict of Milan decriminalizing Christian love. The sovereign turned into an incredible supporter of the Church and set a point of reference for the situation of the Christian ruler inside the Church and the idea of conventionality, Christendom, ecumenical boards, and the state church of the Roman Empire announced by declaration in 380. He is loved as a holy person and isapostolos in the Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church, and different Eastern Catholic Churches for his case as a "Christian ruler."
