The reign of the emperor Constantine (306-337) was as revolutionary
for the transformation of Rome's Mediterranean empire as that of
Augustus, the first emperor three centuries earlier. The
abandonment of Rome signaled the increasing importance of frontier
zones in northern and central Europe and the Middle East. The
foundation of Constantinople as a new imperial residence and the
rise of Greek as the language of administration previewed the
establishment of a separate eastern Roman empire. Constantine's
patronage of Christianity required both a new theology of the
Christian Trinity and a new political image of a Christian emperor.
Raymond Van Dam explores and interprets each of these events. His
book complements accounts of the role of Christianity by
highlighting ideological and cultural aspects of the transition to
a post-Roman world.
