Reviews
“Stevenson has made an invaluable ancient source for the life and circumstances of Constantine the Great readily accessible to a wide range of scholars, teachers, students, and others – the others include those who are inspired to investigate the matrix of ecclesiastical and Roman imperial history in a more crucial period for all of western posterity. The popularity of the subject…is evident in the production of other recent works, including
Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, (2006) John Carroll’s Constantine’s Sword (2007)… the lucid modern prose of the present translation, along with the insightful study, will inform, clarify, and enlighten.”
