Biography
After defeating the Emperors Maxentius and Licinius, Constantine became the Emperor of both the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, reuniting the two. Constantine was also the first Christian Roman Emperor, and was determined to establish the world's first Christian empire, which he did by making Christianity the Empire's official religion.[2]
In 306, Constantine received an undisclosed, private message from the Roman Hidden One acolyte Beatha, a communication that ensured the protection of Christians throughout the Roman Empire under his reign.[3]
In 324, he famously moved the capital of the Empire from Rome to the Greek city of Byzantium, allegedly due to a divinely inspired dream. He set about rebuilding what was then a provincial port city into a capital, his work concluding in 330. He then renamed the city Nova Roma, New Rome. Following his death, it became known as Constantinople in his honor.[4]
At the same time, Constantine also moved the Serpent Column holding the Tripod of Plataia in Delphi to the Hippodrome of Constantinople.[5]
