saint, first wife of Roman emperor Constantius Chlorus, and mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (250-330)
Helena Augusta was a Roman woman who married the emperor Constantius Chlorus and became the mother of Constantine the Great, one of Rome's most influential rulers. She is venerated as a saint, partly because of her legendary role in discovering the True Cross, the cross believed to have been used in Jesus's crucifixion.
