Constantine the Dissembler

As late as three 15, when his tri arch in rome was erected, constantine was still pretty vague about his religious beliefs. Even more interesting is the fact that nowhere in the depiction of the battle of the milvian bridge does the labarom or the cairo or any other kind of cross appear. But clearly this was a man becoming less and less shy about openly promoting christianity. And as i said before, when he declared war on lycinius in three 24, the defence of eastern christians would form the backbone of his army.
