Episode notes
Troop Comparison
- Constantine's forty thousand men were highly trained veterans, mostly German.
- Maxentius' one hundred thousand men were mostly raw recruits with questionable loyalty.
Segusium Capture
- Constantine captured Segusium but ordered no plundering, unlike Galerius' harsh approach in 307.
- This demonstrated his merciful approach, crucial for winning the political campaign.
Verona Victory
- Constantine's smaller force defeated Ruricius' larger army near Verona, a surprising victory.
- This was attributed to either divine intervention, superior soldiers, or luck.
