This biographical narrative is a detailed portrayal of the life and
career of the first Christian emperor Constantine the Great (273 -
337). Combining vivid narrative and historical analysis, Charles
Odahl relates the rise of Constantine amid the crises of the late
Roman world, his dramatic conversion to and public patronage of
Christianity, and his church building programs in Rome, Jerusalem
and Constantinople which transformed the pagan state of Roman
antiquity into the Christian empire medieval Byzantium. The
author's comprehensive knowledge of the literary sources and his
extensive research into the material remains of the period mean
that this volume provides a more rounded and accurate portrait of
Constantine than previously available. This revised second edition
includes: An expanded and revised final chapter A new Genealogy and
an expanded Chronology New illustrations Revised and updated Notes
and Bibliography A landmark publication in Roman Imperial, early
Christian, and Byzantine history, Constantine and the Christian
Empire will remain the standard account of the subject for years to
come.
