However, he did not become sole ruler until 324.

In 312 he invaded Italy and defeated Maximian's son Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge, becoming Augustus. Constantine the Great also became known as the emperor of the turn of the century and the reorganizer of the Roman Empire. 324/26 Constantine moved his seat of government to Constantinople ("City of Constantine"). Shortly after Easter 337, however, Constantine fell seriously ill. Anticipating his death, he summoned the Bishop of Nicomedia.

The preparations for war were halted and the emperor died on May 22, 337 in the imperial villa of Ankyrona. With the burial in the Apostle Church, Constantine the Great was honored as the 13th Apostle. After his death, the sons of Constantine II, Constantius Il. and Constans his successors.
