Constantine

Constantine the Great, builder of an empire, had commanded many a victorious campaign. The battle against Maxentius stood above all others, for it was then that Constantine saw in the sky a fiery cross and recieved the heaven-sent command, "In this sign, conquer." Here is the powerful story of the vivid Roman world of the third and fourth centuries—and the Roman emperor who dealt paganism its death blow.
