(at around 1h 1 min) Teabing says that Constantine converted to Christianity on his deathbed. While it is true that Constantine became a follower of Christianity much earlier, it wasn't until he knew he was dying that he was baptized by the Arian priest Usebius. This was in accordance with the custom that a person was not baptized until old age in order to absolve them from as many sins as possible. Constantine died a few days after his baptism. This would technically make Teabing's remark true by today's standards, which call for converts to be baptized into the church. In today's world, Constantine was not a true Christian until he was baptized.
