jjares reviewed Constantine the Great: A Captivating Guide to the First Christian Roman Emperor and How He Ruled the Roman Empire (Captivating History) on + 3263 more book reviews
There are no objective works, contemporary to Constantine, who tell the unbiased truth. The most honest portrayals of what happened would have to be Constantine's correspondence and the edicts he issued. Constantine's name immediately brings to mind two things: He converted the Roman Empire to Christianity, and he built Constantinople, which would become the center of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire).
Near his death, Constantine set up another tetrarchy (4 rulers). He could not know that those four would kill each other off until there remained only one. Constantius II reestablished his father's sole-rule system and ruled the whole Roman Empire until his death in 361.
This book was clearly written with causes and effects shared with the reader.
