Roman Emperors that were canonized after Saint Constantine the Great but before Saint John the Merciful are Saint Justinian and Saint Theodosius the Great (Theodosius I).

Hey, as usual when it comes to Orthodoxy I should have been more precise with my wording. No other Emperor since Constantine I had an active Saintly cult. You may be from an Orthodox background yourself and so know that there is no official process of canonisation in the Orthodox church. So the Emperors you list are commemorated or have vita written about them. But none were actively remembered as Saints by the Byzantines at the time.

@@TheHistoryofByzantiumPodcast Thank you for the response. Yes, I am Orthodox and I greatly appreciate your podcast. Have you considered an episode arch on the Liturgy/Orthodox Church and how the Orthodox theology shaped Roman society? Like interviewing an Orthodox Priest, etc? Saint John the Merciful (Vatatzes) has a following even today among many laity and monastic, most famously the Holy Elder Ephraim of Arizona.

@@joshuap969 Yes it's something I'd like to do. I need to find someone who can explain things to people who know nothing about the topic
