Constantine and the Christian empire

"Professor Charles Odahl has written an account of the life and reign of the first Christian emperor of the Roman world. A comprehensive knowledge of the literary sources, combined with extensive research into the material remains of the Constantinian era, enables the creation of a more rounded and accurate scholarly portrait than has previously been available." "Assessed within the context of the third century crisis and the fourth century revival of the Roman Empire, Constantine emerges as one of the most astute political leaders, great field commanders, sincere religious reformers, and extensive imperial builders among the entire line of Roman emperors."
