Constantine I (Latin: Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus; c. 27 February 272 – 22 May 337), often called Constantine the Great (by Christians) and Constantine teh Ghey!! (by 12-year-old pagans editing Wikipedia), was a winner on the hit show Augustus Idol in 312 AD which, back then, was a competition involving wars between many legions across the whole of the Roman Empire and no Simon Cowell.

To be honest, he also probably had help from Jesus himself, who would have utilized his many magic powers.
