A proposito di questo titolo

Step into the year 312 CE, on the eve of the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, where the Roman emperor Constantine reported a vision of a cross of light and the words 'In this sign, conquer.' In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the pivotal moment that set Christianity on a path from persecuted sect to imperial religion. They examine Constantine's background—born in Naissus (modern-day Serbia) to a soldier and an innkeeper's daughter—and the political chaos of the Tetrarchy, when six men claimed the purple. They discuss the Chi-Rho symbol, the Edict of Milan of 313, and the legendary story of his mother Helena discovering the True Cross. The conversation also touches on the contested nature of Constantine's conversion, from Eusebius's account to modern scholarly skepticism. Future episodes will delve into the Council of Nicaea, the foundation of Constantinople, and the blending of Roman and Christian iconography that reshaped the ancient world.
