Chuckled out loud while reading this, I'll confess. It's difficult to suppress knee- jerk cynicism when a ruler claims divine inspiration, isn't it? Funny that genuine religious piety seems last on our list of Constantine's motivations.

I also found a copy of Constantine: Roman Emperor, Christian Victor cheap on Amazon. Looking toward to filling in some gaps in my knowledge of the man!
