title: British Constantine
text: The "British Constantine" was a flattering geopolitical remark ("conceit") about the historical comparison to the Roman Catholic Church of the Byzantine Empire applied to both Elizabeth I and James I of England, implying a comparison with the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. It had both secular and religious implications, Constantine having unified the Roman Empire of his time, and made Christianity a state religion. Constantine was associated also, through the work Oratio ad sanctorum coetu
