For the 56th time, Constantine was never "pontiff of the Roman church". He was baptized on his deathbed and was not technically even a member of the Roman church at the time you're talking about. Why do you keep repeating this foolishness?

Do you deny that Constantine as the Roman Emperor was not the Pontiff of the Roman Empire's religion ?

Constantine was never a pontiff, Hosius of Cordoba was Pope during the time of Constantine. Further Roman Catholicism was not made the state religion until after Constantine’s death.

No. The Roman Empire's state religion was paganism until Theodosius the Great, AD 380 ... 55 years after Nicaea. Constantine was the ex officio head of the Roman state pagan religion.
