Name Derivation:
Constantine the Great
'Constantine The Great' - '(27 February c. AD 272 – 22 May AD 337)' was a Roman Emperor who ruled between AD 306 and 337. As emperor, Constantine enacted administrative, financial, social and military reforms to strengthen the empire. He restructured the government, separating civil and military authorities. To combat inflation he introduced the solidus, a new gold coin that became the standard for Byzantine and European currencies for more than a thousand years. The Roman army was reorganized to consist of mobile units (comitatenses) and garrison troops (limitanei) capable of countering internal threats and barbarian invasions. Constantine pursued successful campaigns against the tribes on the Roman frontiers—the Franks, the Alamanni, the Goths and the Sarmatians—even resettling territories abandoned by his predecessors during the Crisis of the Third Century.
The age of Constantine marked a distinct epoch in the history of the Roman Empire. He built a new imperial residence at Byzantium and renamed the city Constantinople (now Istanbul) after himself (the laudatory epithet of "New Rome" emerged in his time, and was never an official title). It became the capital of the Empire for more than a thousand years, the later eastern Roman Empire, being referred to as the Byzantine Empire.

About Constantine The Great a cream white lime green peony
The fall is truly the correct period for growing peony plants. Pretty much all peonies tend to be incredibly long-term-lived plants functioning for approximately fifty up to seventy years, so soon after you have the peonies placed correctly, a person will certainly benefit from them for many years. The plants have a preference for a bright area having a well-drained dirt. A good air flow circulation presented around the peonies can also be significant.
