Answer: St. Helen, the mother of Constantine I, died around 330 (aged 83–84). Most of her relics rest in a large porphyry tub under an altar in Santa Maria in Aracoeli church in Rome. Her original sarcophagus is in the Vatican Museum. Emperor Charles IV gifted a part of her head to the Cathedral of Trier in Germany.
