The author has also overlooked recent developments that bear directly on how Constantine could reign as a Christian sovereign so shortly after the tetrachy's attempt to repress the faith through the Great Persecution. [...]Constantine and the Christian Empire is a useful source of detailed information on Constantine's efforts to change the religious topography of the Roman Empire, but the price of the hardback version makes the purchase of this book difficult to recommend.
