Detailed explanation-1: -Q: Who was the first Christian emperor? The first Christian emperor was Constantine. After he had a dream of Jesus telling him to paint the Chi-Rho symbol on his shield, he won the battle with Maxentius. He then officially declared his conversion to Christianity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Constantine I, byname Constantine the Great, Latin in full Flavius Valerius Constantinus, (born February 27, after 280 ce?, Naissus, Moesia [now Niš, Serbia]-died May 22, 337, Ancyrona, near Nicomedia, Bithynia [now İzmit, Turkey]), first Roman emperor to profess Christianity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Constantine is the first Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity. He did so after witnessing the sight of a cross in the sky along with his entire army. However, his spiritual growth and eventual conversion did not happen at once with this one dramatic event.
Detailed explanation-4: -Constantine stood out because he became a Christian and unabashedly made Jesus the patron of his army. By 313, just two contenders remained, Constantine and Licinius. The two jointly issued the Edict of Milan, which made Christianity a legal religion and officially ended the persecution.
