Me: Welcome Constantine, how are you?
Constantine: Pretty stressed from all the people who don't wanna be christians.
Me: Why do you want your empire to be only christian?
Constantine: Well, I wanted everyone to be like me and have no religous conflict during my time as emporer. Less religion, less fighting, its as simple as that.
M: I see, so why did you recieve the name "The Great"?
C: It is actually related to the whole christianity ordeal. I made christianity. And as you know, that religion would go on for at least seven hundred years and then some, and I created many cities and was the emporer of Rome for 30 some years, so yeah no big deal.
M: Right, but whats with Civil Wars?
C: Well, no matter where you are or where you are emporer,there are gonna be some conflicts, I personally had to step into some of them in order to defeat Maxentius and Lucinius. I also fought successfully agains the Franks, the Visigoths, Alamani and Sarmatians.
M: Impressive, tell me about your ealy life.
C: Glad to, my father was Constantius, who later became Roman Emperor, and my mother was St. Helena, my date of birth is not certain, my birth name is Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constaninus.
M: I like the name, so where do you think you will put the capitol of your empire?
C: Where else? My city, Constantinople, it's the best city in all of the world.
M: Right, but what do you think will happen to it in the years to come?
C: Nothing, it will remain untouched untill the end of earth.
M: Right... But what would you do if the, I dont know, Ottoman turks were to sack it?
C: That's an awful question, everyone knows Constantinople will never be taken by anyone, especially not to the Ottoman Turks.
M: If you say so, what would you say your religious policy is?
C: Very chuch oriented. I am a very big Christian and believe everyone should be.
M: Well I appreciate your time here and I hope to do it again sometime soon.
C: Thank you.
