Constantine the Great

Me: Constantine, you single handedly took all the cultural influence and power from the heart of rome and moved it to your city Constantinople in the Byzantine Empire. How did You do it?
Constantine: Well I figured if had built a city so grand and perfect as Constantinople the many people would come. Also the city had a nearly perfect location in which every trade ship would have to pass by the city.
Me: You also had a major influence on the popularity of Christianity, how do you explain that?
Constantine: Well as you know I was a supporter of the art of religion and simply stated that it would be legal to worship Christianity in my empire. After that my city had become much more popular and the religion really had a major influence in the success of the Byzantine Empire.
Me: Well, thank you for coming in today I know we all really appreciate it. One more thing, you commanded one of the largest armies in history, was it the most powerful?
Constantine: You can't be a great emperor with out being a good general.
