Discover the remarkable life of Constantine the Great...
Constantine the Great was one of the most pivotal figures in the history of the Roman Empire and the widespread expansion of the Christian religion. This is in no way an understatement; Constantine was not only one of the last truly powerful Roman emperors, but he also successfully reconstituted the whole Empire according to his vision of Rome’s future. He played the most significant role in transforming the Empire from a Greco-Roman pagan dominion into becoming a bulwark of the Christian faith, granting for the first time real temporal power for the early Christian Church.

Without a doubt, Constantine the Great changed the world as we know it. This is the story of his life and his vision in full.

Discover a plethora of topics such as
  • Groomed for the Throne
  • How the Roman West was Won
  • Unifying the Empire
  • Reforms and Conquests
  • Taking on the Persians
  • The Death of the Emperor
  • And much more!

Constantine the Great is probably best remembered as a Roman Emperor who bought an end to the persecution of Christian’s and later himself converted to Christianity. He also restored stability and built a new capital named Constantinople after himself - modern day Istanbul.

The book is concise, enjoyable and very readable.

Enjoyed Constantine the Great: A Life from Beginning to End (Roman Emperors)

It flowed nicely, and covered the intricacies of ruling using the Tetrarchy system of government. Two ruling Emperors, one East and one West, with two Caesars, to carry out lesser governance.

Interesting that Constantine understood the importance of dividing the military away from the bureaucracy, thereby creating a military that did not govern the people as they pleased, and wield power for social and just as importantly local justice. This provided a cushion for the Emperors, less fear of a coup or insurrection from rogue generals.

All in all, I am pleased to have read this book, as it compiled a lot of information in a short amount of space. It filled in small details about the Roman Christian era, under the rule of Constantine, following Diocletian's death.

Diocletian (dai-uh-klee-shn) despised the Christians, and had set out too persecute and destroy them, torturing and killing many, because of their faith in God, not pagan beliefs.

Constantine the Great, he certainly earned the title through perseverance and strong character, albeit a little rough around the edges, the art of survival

This Hourly History book is well written and researched. This author has written it value and judgement free and fact based, at least as much as records reveal, and I recommend it as a jumping off point for further study. It is clear and concise and is a wonderful introduction to Constantine and this historically important era. Highly recommended.

Constantine the Great (c.272 - 337) a Roman emperor ruling 306-337, became absolute ruler after convincing his army that they are protected by the Christian god and instructed them to paint a Christian sign on their shields. He moved the capital of the Roman Empire to the new capital Constantinople. A very good summary of Roman history at that time.

It was a great read as usual but it left out some important details about Constantine like the fact that he was responsible for the creation of the first Christian bible. But as usual it was really good.

Being new to Roman history, it was enlightening to learn why Constantine is revered as the most accomplished Roman Emperor. His role in safeguarding and spreading Christianity is immensely significant, because had he not been done so Christianity would not be such a widespread religion.
