Summary:

This study of the Roman Empire in the age of Constantine offers a thoroughly new assessment of the part Christianity played in the Roman world during the third and fourth centuries. The author provides a narrative history of the reigns of Diocletian and Constantine. The book details Constantine's rise to power and his government, demonstrating how Constantine's sincere adherence to Christianity advanced his political aims. The author explores the whole range of Eusebius' writings, especially those composed before Constantine became emperor, and shows that many attitudes usually deemed typical of the "Constantinian revolution" were prevalent before the new Christian empire came into existence.
