Few people throughout history have shaped events that changed history and continue to reverberate with us today. Constantine the Great and his mother, Saint Helena, are two of these exceptional individuals. Outnumbered at the battle of Milvian Bridge, Constantine the Great railied his troops to victory after beholding a flaming cross in the sky above which was written En Touto Nika - In this sign conquer - and the world was never the same.
The sweep of the narrative, from Constantine's youth as a hostage under the emperor Diocletian through his rise to supreme power despite the numerous attempts to assassinate him, is a gripping saga of turmoil, war, persecution, and tragic love woven in enthralling intrigues where four self-proclaimed emperors' fought for the sole sovereignty of the Roman Empire.
In summary, the stories and legends surrounding Constantine the Great and St. Helena's discovery of the true cross and the Holy Sepulcher as well as the building of Constantinople, a purely Christian city, blend with Constantine's lifelong quest to be recognized as greater than Alexander the Great as well as the thirteenth apostle of Christ.
