Constantine the Great was a leader and victor in many campaigns, but one battle stood above all others -- the battle against Maxentius, when Constantine saw a fiery cross in the sky, nd thenceforth took as his motto:  "In this sign conquer."  This mystic revelation, as reported by Eusebius and other contemporaries, led to Constantine's acceptance and then devoted use of Christianity to consolidate his Empire.

In Constantine:  The Miracle of the Flaming Cross, Frank G. Slaughter has re-created all the moving and colorful events of Constantine's life, in the turbulent Roman world of the 3rd and 4th centuries . . . "At this crucial point in history of Christianity, a Roman Emperor arose who gave paganism the death blow.  He was Constantine the Great . . ."  At first giving Christianity equal status with paganism, Constantine was able -- for a time -- to constrain not only rebellious military rivals but also the Christian bishops who werre fighting among themselves, and at Nicaea he established what was probably the first ecumenical council.
