Is the case of St. Constantine the Great, „king of kings and lord of all that rule”, whereof the contemporary historical sources and after him, not consistent often. This study, in which we presented the two central aspects of the biography of the first Byzantine emperor (stavrofania and baptism), is based on both historical and liturgical sources, created at different times and wearing the "signature" of different hymnologists of Byzantine empire like Vizantios, Simeon Metaphrastes or Patriarch Methodios.
