Abstract

Abstract:
After Diocletian abdicated from power in 305 AD, rebellion movements emerged in the Byzantine Empire, due to the conflict of leaders in order to seize the throne, to the extent that six of the leaders declared themselves as emperors at the same time, threatening the security and stability of the empire.
The study deals with the rebellion movements during the reign of Constantine the Great, including Maxentius' rebellion and his wars with Constantine which ended with his death in the Battle of Melvian Bridge.
This study aims to highlight Likinos's rebellion. Likinos persecuted many Christians, leading him to wars with Emperor Constantine the Great, which ended with his murder and Constantine's monopoly on the throne in 324 AD. Hence, the rebellion movements ended during the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great.
The study dealt with the religious policy followed by Emperor Constantine. During his reign, the heresy appeared. The teachings of Arius, which were contrary to the Christian faith, were proclaimed. Eventually, the Council of Nicaea was convened. It concluded that the Son is equal to the Father in substance and eternity and excommunicated anyone who says otherwise. Hence, the civil war that greatly affected the Byzantine Empire ended.
