Constantine the Great Coloring Page

Before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD, Constantine is said to have seen a cross in the sky or had a dream telling him to use a Christian symbol on his soldiers’ shields. He won the battle, and a year later the Edict of Milan allowed Christians to practise their religion freely.

He moved the capital of the empire east to a city on the Bosphorus, which was named Constantinople for him and is now called Istanbul. He wasn’t baptised until he was close to death, though he’s known as the first Christian emperor.
