Although both Constantine's and Fausta's specific dates of birth
are subject to question, it is certain that he was her senior by fifteen or more years.
Constantine's drive for sole power must have put a strain on the relationship on at
least two occasions. In 310, when Maximian plotted against Constantine, Fausta
revealed the plot, thus contributing to her own father's end. On 28 October 312
Fausta's brother, the emperor Maxentius, suffered defeat and lost his life in the
famous Battle of the Milvian Bridge. The next day his body was recovered from the
Tiber River. Constantine had the severed head affixed to a pike and carried through
the streets of Rome. We do not knowFausta's reaction to this act of brutality.

Having seen a vision of the Flaming Cross in the sky at noon, Constantine
won a key victory over his rival at Tiber River's Mulvius Bridge 10-28-312.
He became a Christian, granting toleration to the religion in the edict of
Milan (313). From his victory at Chrysopolis (09-18-323) he ruled both the
eastern and western Roman empires. He presided as sole emperor at the
Council of Nicaea (325). He laid the foundation of the city of
Constantinople in 326, establishing the imperial capital there; he was
inaugurated there 05-11-330 as the city was dedicated to the Blessed
Virgin. Christianity had become the state religion. Constantine was declared
'Emperor' in 306 A.D. at Eboracum, now York, England.
