Quote:Milvian Bridge always struck me as a kind of philosophical watershed.

Not really. On March 7 323, Constantine declares his dies Solis Invicti as the day of rest - that 11 years after the Milvian Bridge. The war with Licinius is far more important in that sense I think. Constantine totally defeats Licinius at Chrysopolis (September 18, 324 AD). Not a very well-known battle, but then the Milvian bridge was better suited for later propaganda purposes.
