Produktbeschreibung

This volume brings together some of the English-speaking world's leading Constantinian scholars for an interdisciplinary study of the life and legacy of the first Christian emperor. Focusing on the questions that have for so long intrigued historians, classicists, and theologians, the papers collected in this volume prove once again that Constantine is not so much a figure from the remote past, but an individual whose legacy continues to shape our present.
