About this listen

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!

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.

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

Excellent work on the man and his time.
