Fourth-century CE Roman Emperor, who was declared emperor in York on the death of his father. During his reign, Christianity started to become the dominant religion in the Roman Empire; Constantine's role and motives in this process is debated. Since the eighteenth century, Constantine's legacy was viewed with suspicion; the historian Edward Gibbon blamed him personally for the superstition and corruption that, in Gibbon's view, led to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.
