basic survey of Constantine's career." "NYMAS Review""

the first Roman emperor who converted to Christianity, with a heavy
emphasis on the archaeological record... Stephenson's knowledgeable
account pursues a wide variety of historical branches of
Constantine's story." - "Kirkus"

exemplary biography, which eschews psychological speculation and
instead builds its case inventively from primary accounts and the
