Description

type:text

Eusebius's writings and speeches about the Emperor Constantine which strike us as so fulsome, are idealized portraits not only of Constantine personally, but of the Christian Emperor as such. It is hardly conceivable that the image of monarchy in heaven had been realized on earth in the Emperor Constantine. The meaning of the Edict of Milan and the conversion of the Emperor has been the subject of much controversy ever since Jacob Burckhardt. The suggestion seems to be implied that a choice was expected between personal faith and kingship on Hellenistic lines, between religious tolerance and coercive secular authority, considering that Roman religion had largely been an affair of the State. So far as the conversion of the Emperor was sincere, it was bound to lead to enormous changes in all matters of the common weal.
