Ancient Rome The Rise And Fall Of An Empire: Constantine 1

Constantine and the Christianisation of the Roman Empire. Beginning with the battle of the Milvian Bridge and ending with the death of Fausta and Licinius, this edition shows how the Emperor Constantine brought Christianity to the western world. In AD 312, Rome was in crisis. The empire had been divided into four parts, each with its own emperor who fought one another. Constantine intervened and united Rome, using military might and a new religion - Christianity.

[Alberto19951995]

He was a great emperor

[Rome312AD]

One EMPIRE, ONE GOD, One EMPEROR. Constantine the Great (Caesar Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus) was one of the greatest Roman emperors, who left behind the greatest and most enduring legacy of any of his predecessors or successors: the promotion of Christianity, which had already been well on its way to converting the Roman Empire even before Constantine's endorsement. Not to downplay his contribution, but he simply accelerated the inevitable...the birth of world-wide Christendom.

Constantine worshiped the Sun God as well. On bronze coinage from 325 it is written "SOLI INVICITO COMITI" or "to his companion the unconquerable sun", and in 330 he was portrayed as the Sun God on the porphyry column newly built in Constantinople. In 337 (quite late!) he also permitted new imperial cult temple to his family, although without blood sacrifice. Quite likely, he was trying to please his subjects, unite the empire, under his sole rule...

@kybelian You're probably a faggot I take it. You would have loved to take a bath with a bunch of roman men or enjoyed a sauna with a bunch of burly vikings. I bet the Christians ruined your good time on Brokeback Mountain as well.

Constantine was truly sent by God.

Okay guys, let's just watch the video...it's sick and tiring for people to just argue about the debate on religion...this is history...

[Games2view]

Talk about historical innacuracies.. purple can only be worn by the emperor.. And we can clearly see in the video that the emperor's gaurds have white togas with purple decor.

[duckmanham]

The guy playing Constantine is fucking intense.

@kybelian very well said

@Rome312AD As as for rating Roman Emperors the greatest was Augustus Caesar for the obvious reason that it was he who originated it and gathered all the titles Christians later stole and plagiarized. Thats also a factor of a plagiarists worshiping a composite fictional character who is made of fragments from legend and historical people.

[kybelian]

@Rome312AD The Romans used to take baths and built great bath houses before the disease of Christianity hit. The Christians closed the baths and libraries.

The Vikings were clean and used Saunas until Christianized the filth allowed plague to almost wipe out the entire Norwegian population.

Christians were suspicious of Jews and Muslims because they seemed resistant to plague which was only due to their washing of hands!!!!

All Christianity has done is spread ignorance and plague
