Quote: I suspect most would've turned out more like Constantine rather than Augustine. Remember how he and his sons tended to present the Christian God to the army, it was in terms of a bringer of victory - a god of battles - which would be very appealing to soldiers.
Sure christianity would be appealing if presented that way, to those who knew little or nothing about it. As people became more informed about it fewer may have thought it consistent with soldiering or service to Rome.
