In order to make my city the best, I robbed fine works of art from Greece. I also created a constitution to keep the Roman Empire under my rule. I was in charge of building schools, theaters, aqueducts, fourteen churches, fourteen palaces, and many private houses. This made my city beautiful. // ||

I ate wealthy meals, I celebrated many holidays, and I studied military service. I was in the military for a few years but later on I became Emperor of Rome and I was well loved by the people of Rome. ||

I am a strong believer in Christianity. I have spread this religion throughout the Roman Empire. These are the basic beliefs of my religion: We believe in God and the main focus of our religion is Jesus. His birth is celebrated in a holiday called Christmas where songs are sung and gifts are given. Easter is another holiday celebrated because we believe that is the day Jesus rose from the grave after his death. Christians read the life of Jesus in the Christian Bible, which consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament. Christians also believe in life after death, and for those who believe in Jesus will be saved and those who don't will be punished. Christian worship consists of a preacher preaching to a large group of people and performing traditional ceremonies. ||

 * //312 A.D.- Today I became the emperor of the Roman Empire. It was a tough battle trying to become emperor, but I did it! All the hard work payed off! Now I need to make some improvements to this Empire, and hopefully it will be very powerful! I am also planning in spreading Christianity. Wish me luck!

330 A.D.- I moved the capital of the Roman Empire to Constantinople. It is named after me. I moved it here, so one, I could have a city named after me, and two, because I think it will be easier to rule from this city. Improvements of the city to come! Keep your eyes pealed!

324 A.D.- I have conquered Greece and Balkins and now I am the man that rules the entire Roman Empire once again.// ||
