Constantine and Eusebius in Antioch
In the 320s CE, the eastern metropolis of Antioch became the scene of violent conflict between pro- and anti-Nicene factions vying to put one of their own in the bishopric. Eusebius of Caesarea (himself one of the candidates) claims in his influential Vita Constantini that bloody conflict was avoided only by the calming influence of the emperor himself. This article focuses on three letters that Eusebius included in the Vita Constantini to illust…
Helena
Wife of one emperor (Constantius I) and mother of another (Constantine I), Helena (ca. 250–329 ce ) became a saint by virtue of a legend linking her to the discovery of the True Cross in Jerusalem. Although of low birth, she rose to the position of Augusta and became celebrated, along with her son, as a founder of the new Christian empire.
The Elephant in the Room
Constantine's role in calling the Council of Nicaea has long been recognized. But theological interests have overshadowed the political side of his decision-making. In the nineteenth century scholars coined the word “Caesaropapism” for imperial interference that they saw as a threat to the purity of the Church. But the ancient state operated on a different set of principles, and a political approach fills in important blanks in our understanding …
Labarum
Labarum is the name given to the talisman created by the emperor Constantine after his vision of the cross, usually dated to 312 ce . Its most distinctive feature was a bejeweled Chi‐Rho at the top, a monogram for Christ. When carried into battle, it was said to terrify enemies into flight.
Old Society, New Belief
In the first century of the Common Era, two new belief systems entered long-established cultures with radically different outlooks and values: in that century, missionaries started to spread the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth in the Roman empire and the Buddha in China. Both were not only ancient cultures but also cultures whose elites felt no particular urgency to adopt a new religion. Yet a few centuries later, the two new faiths had become so …

The Emperor as a 'Man of God
In numerous ways, the first Christian emperor, Constantine I (r. 306-337) indicated that he saw parallels between himself and St. Paul. These include his story of divine intervention (the vision of the Cross) and his decision to be buried amid markers for the twelve Apostles. But his biographer, Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea, chooses to liken Constantine instead to Moses, who led the Israelites out of captivity. By focusing on the different connota…
Speaking of Power
It has been eighty years since Norman Baynes called attention to parallels between certain Hellenistic theories of kingship and the ideas and language of Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea, one of the most influential writers of the fourth century. Eusebius’ essay on Constantine, De vita Constantini (hereafter VC), shaped our view of the first Christian emperor for centuries, and despite long-overdue hermeneutical studies that have given us a much bette…
The City in the Classical and Post-Classical World
This volume examines the evolving role of the city and citizenship from classical Athens through fifth-century Rome and medieval Byzantium. Beginning in the first century CE, the universal claims of Hellenistic and Roman imperialism began to be challenged by the growing role of Christianity in shaping the primary allegiances and identities of citizens. An international team of scholars considers the extent of urban transformation, and with it, of…

Helena
Wife of one emperor (Constantius I) and mother of another (Constantine I), Helena (ca. 260–330) became a saint by virtue of a Pilgrimage to Palestine that she undertook in the wake of tragedy – the twin executions of Constantine's eldest son and wife in 326.

The church, society and political power
In Caesaropapism there are two distinct entities, a secular state and a spiritual church, each with its own defined sphere of authority. The problem arises when the secular ruler, Caesar, asserts authority over the church, acting thus like a pope. Eusebius was a bishop and Agapetus a deacon. Both represented an institution, the Christian church, with an identity akin to that of the Roman senate. The judgment of emperors, the decision as to whethe…
The Impact of Constantine on Christianity
The impact of Constantine on Christianity can be summarized fairly quickly: during the thirty years of his reign, more change took place in the status, structure, and beliefs of the Christian Church than during any previous period of its history. In 306, when Constantine was first elevated by his father’s troops, the imperial government was in the middle of a concerted effort to remove all traces of Christian presence from the empire. When he die…

Constantine and the Bishops
Historians who viewed imperial Rome in terms of a conflict between pagans and Christians have often regarded the emperor Constantine's conversion as the triumph of Christianity over paganism. This study takes a fresh look at Constantine's rule uncovering the political motivations behind his policies. Constantine, H.A. Drake suggests, was looking not only for a god in whom to believe, but also a policy he could adopt. Drake shows how these policie…
The Christianity of Constantine the Great
This text assumes that Eusebius' story of Constantine's conversion was fiction or a mistake, based upon the Emperor's own story of how God told him to make his army's standard. This study suggests that Constantine's Christianity was of more normal and earlier origins than the miracle of AD 312

Constantine and Consensus
The church historian Socrates Scholasticus tells a story about an encounter during the Council of Nicaea between the emperor Constantine and the schismatic bishop Acesius. On learning that Acesius's dispute had nothing to do with the Creed or the date of Easter-the two major issues under debate at that Council-Constantine asked, "For what reason then do you separate yourself from communion with the rest of the Church?" Acesius replied that his se…

Eusebius on the True Cross
According to a beloved and now generally disbelieved story, the Cross upon which Jesus suffered was discovered some three hundred years after the event by the saintly Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, Rome's first Christian emperor. For centuries, this story enjoyed the greatest vogue, blossoming into a full-blown Legend of the Cross which traced its genealogy all the way back to the Garden of Eden. With the waning of the Middle Ages, howe…
