Constantine and the Conversion of Europe

About this book

From his influence on economics and governance to his pivotal role in popularising Christianity, this is a compelling exploration of the transformative reign of Constantine the Great, Roman Emperor from 306 to 337 AD.

Constantine the Great (c. 272–337) was a pivotal figure in the history of both the Roman Empire and Christianity. The first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity, he eradicated Christian persecution and was influential in the religion's spread throughout Ancient Rome. His rule was marked by sweeping administrative, financial, social, and military reforms designed to strengthen and stabilise the sprawling empire. His introduction of the solidus, a new gold coin, effectively combated inflation and set the standard for Byzantine and European currencies for over a millennium.

Constantine and the Conversion of Europe explores the complexities of his religious policies, his support for the Christian Church, and the profound effects of his conversion on European history. A thoughtful and engaging account of one of history's most influential emperors, this book is perfect for those interested in Roman history and early Christianity.
