Resumen del Editor

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

A Worthwhile listening the audible

The military historian can profit from listening to this work: Constantine was a man who, as Nathan Forrest would say, "got there with the most" with a highly trained elite core (mobile striking force) that consistently crushed all opposition - even when outnumbered.

More opiinion than fact

The author completely lays the foundation for Constantine's appearance on the world stage with the arrangements created by Diocletian for transfer of power as well as the struggle between the Senate and Army in Roman politics.

I'd be careful with this audible

as a great man in a pivotal time in world history. Gives insight into why, following in his father ' footsteps, Constantine not only granted permission for Christianity but also brought the Church and Empire commonly in a society that would last a thousand years.

Quick History of Constantine

This Audible book gives a very good overview of Constantine. In just over an hour I got a taste of the historical significance of Constantine’s rise to power and his reign.

Constantine the Great...the most influential human being...

those interested in the Roman world will learn much about the time in which the power within the empire moved east and how much eastern political thought had changed the original Roman ideals of political power

Excellent work on the man and his time.

A triumph! Excellent work! Covers, as suggested by the title, not simply the life of Constantine but also the time he lived in, the rise of Christianity, and the crisis of government that the Roman Empire found itself in

listening it again, it is so good

Constantine became our new world by making Christianity his State holiday. He sometimes shows an enlightened ruler and at other times cruel

very short read

Should be called the cliff notes of Constantine. i expected it go go into more detail.

fake history

most of this is fake history written by Pagan historians. seek out more in depth histories and you'll see what I mean.
