"His biggest fault, however, was the fact that he was incredibly vain. Constantine enjoyed flattery, and he adored being popular. That is why he organized many ceremonies and social events, and he also tried to buy the love of the poor by giving money to the widows and beggars during his early reign...His generosity, in combination with his vanity, led to the economic downfall of the empire."
Serious statement.

"Constantine’s mother was a Greek woman named Helena, who probably never married his father. She was a stabularia, which can be translated from Latin as a barmaid or a landlady of a tavern... it would be very unlikely that a Roman officer would have married a non-Roman woman."
Helena had good reasons to be a Christian since she would not be easely accepted as goddess by the Senate and pagan Ronan elite.

I believe that this last statement is somehow too much, as if there werent many other reason to the downfall.
