Constantine I (27 February c. 272 – 22 May 337), also known as Constantine the Great, was a Roman emperor from AD 306 to 337 and the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity.
The Colossus of Constantine was a 40-foot marble and bronze statue of Constantine I, erected in the Basilica of Maxentius after his victory over Maxentius in 312. It was a symbol of his power and Christianity, but only fragments of it survive today.
He is known as Constantine the Great for very good reasons. After nearly 80 years, and three generations of political fragmentation, Constantine united the whole of the Roman Empire under one ruler. By 324 he had extended his power and was sole emperor, restoring stability and security to the Roman world.
