This research focuses on Fictional  Representation of Facts about the Roles of Constantine in  Dan Brown's Novel,  The Da Vinci Code.  In order to achieve the aim  of the  research,  I   employ  sociological  approach.  Sociological  approach  is appropriate  to be used since the novel  is  the  representation  of the society. The novel has the  concept of mimetic  that  it  imitates  the social  environment  of the writer.  The primary source of data in  this research is  Dan Brown's  novel The  Da Vinci Code,  produced  by Doubleday  Fiction  in 2003. The  primary data  of the research  are  in the form  of words, dialogues,  phrases and  sentences  which are important and related to the research topic. The  secondary data are taken  from articles,  books,  e-books,  online  media  and  other  relevant  sources  of data  that support   the  primary  data.   They  may   be  words,   phrases  and  sentences  of information that deal with the research problem.
Based on the data analysis,  I  draw conclusion  as follows:  the  statements mentioning Constantine's roles in  the development of the church in  4th century  is a  controversial  issue.  The  issue  contradicts  historical  fact  and  ruins  common people's  understanding  about  the  role  of Constantine  in  Christianity  history especially for Christians who understand the important  role of Constantine  in the history of Christianity.  Through the  character of Teabing,  Dan Brown convinces the readers about the role of Constantine  in  the development of church in  the 4th century.
The   significance   of  the   fictional   representation   of  religious   history focusing on the role of Constantine  in the development of church in 4th century is that it  is against the historical  fact of Christianity.  The conception  is also against the  traditional  belief of Christians.  Constantine,  as one  of important  figure  in Christianity  history,  is  taking  a  big  role  in  the  development  of the  church, especially in the 4th century. Through the character  of Teabing,  Dan Brown  has different  view  about  Constantine  which   is  against  the   historical   facts  and Christian's traditional belief.
