Constantine the Great (Latin: Flavius
Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus; 27 February c. 272 – 22 May 337), also
known as Constantine I or Saint Constantine, was Roman Emperor from 306 to 337.
Well known for being the first Roman emperor to be converted to Christianity ,
Constantine and co-Emperor Licinius issued the Edict of Milan in 313, which
proclaimed tolerance of all religions throughout the empire.

Constantine's monetary policies were closely
associated with his religious policies; increased minting was associated with
the confiscation of all gold, silver, and bronze statues from pagan temples
between 331 and 336 which were declared to be imperial property. Two imperial
commissioners for each province had the task of getting the statues and melting
them for immediate minting, with the exception of a number of bronze statues
that were used as public monuments in Constantinople
