Constintine The Great 4

  ( 272 A.D- 337 A.D) I interviewed this guy he is known as Constantine the Great but he was a very prominent figure in Rome at one time and had a very big religious effect on Rome. He was an Emperor of Rome to for a while in his life and I am going to interview him to tell me about it.
Q:Could you tell me about your childhood and early life?
A: Well I was born in 272 A.D with my full name being Flavius Valerius Constantinus, in the town of Naissus which is present day Nis, Siberia.  And when I was old enough I started as an officer in the Roman Army and worked my way up eventually becoming the governor of Dlamatia.
Q: what happened to you after that?
A: I went and received a formal education in the Diocletian Court.
Q: How did you come to be in power?
A: In 312 I was appointed the title Caesar and went and founded the new capital which I named Constantinople. It was great city in a great location too.
Q: What happened after that?
A: In 313 I helped developed the Edict of Milan which basically said that Christian should be allowed to follow their path of choosing.
Q: How do you think you did while you were in control?
A: I think that I did a good job because the city is still there today and it is a huge city.
