![]() ![]() Fortunately, dialogues are found in Constantine's letters and decrees. It is sometimes unbearably difficult to find dialogue in non-fiction literature. I think he was a positive character and a good ruler who tried to make the empire better. Also, despite the partiality of the author, the book shows the mercy, moderation, and mind of Constantine from various small details. ![]() However, the genre must be taken into account. The opponents of Constantine are shown only from the bad side, and the first Christian emperor is presented as an ideal person. However, Eusebius remains one of the most detailed historians on Constantine's reign. For example, such an important matter as the founding of Constantinople was omitted. Wars and conspiracies are described very briefly and even fragmentarily, while much more space is given to doxology in honor of the emperor and church events. Eusebius is too biased, and also misses many important events. It is a pity that for his era there were no thorough historians who created their deep and detailed annals in the first and second centuries of the Roman Empire. ![]() This is a biography of Constantine the Great, written by his faithful supporter Eusebius.Ĭonstantine had a very bright, eventful life with many unexpected plot twists, conspiracie,s and battles. ![]()
