Helena Augusta : the mother of Constantine the Great and the legend of her finding of the true cross
"In general, the 'historical' picture of Helena presented in modern historiography is still confused by the unhistorical legend. This picture therefore needs the clarification afforded by a strict separation of historical and legendary material. That is the main aim of this book, which is consequently presented in two parts. In the first part an attempt is made to present something like a biography of Helena based on historically reliable data, i.e. non-legendary material, while in the second part the legend is treated."--Introduction, pages 2-3
