Summary
If you want to discover the captivating life of Constantine the Great, then pay attention...
Constantine the Great is a complex figure surrounded by controversies and contradictions. The sources of history left for us to read are often biased one way or the other as he is the first Christian Roman emperor.
His own propaganda paints a bright picture of his actions and his personality, while on the other side, we have his political enemies who paint him in much darker colors. All of the sources available to us either fully support Constantine or are strictly against him.
There is no objective work that will give us any true insight on how Constantine lived, what he was thinking, and what his true motives were. In truth, contemporary historians served the purpose of writing what the people wanted to hear. They followed the latest political and cultural trends, and they did not care too much about objectivism and truth.
The questions like what sort of a man was Constantine and what exactly did he achieve during his reign are still baffling historians. It is through tracking the right material and reading in between the lines that we are able to give some sort of answer. We have to use our common sense to discern the truth in the propaganda and paint a new, more accurate picture of Constantine the Great, his deeds, and his persona.
In Constantine the Great: A Captivating Guide to the First Christian Roman Emperor and How He Ruled the Roman Empire, you will discover chapters, such as:
- The Early Life of Constantine the Great
- Early Rule
- Civil Wars
- Constantine, the Lavish Administrator
- The Man Behind the Emperor
- Constantinople
- Constantine and Christianity
- Late Rule and Death
- And much, much more!

Roman Empire again spread among several leaders
Constantine shaped our modern world by making Christianity his State religion. He sometimes seems an enlightened ruler and at other times cruel.

no wonder it seems dated
This current audible by Firth one was a challenge because the author wanted the listening to access whether the title of "Great" was warranted.

An accessible and entertaining account of one of the most
This is more a history of the early church with references to Constantine’s life scattered. It is easy listening and well researched.

An available and moving account of one of the most
I had a pretty good impression of the earlier days of the Roman Empire and how Augustus joined the ruling by any "Caesars" into one strong head of state.
