Attalus was a roman senater. He made a deal with the barbarians. It was if rome gave it all the gold and silver they would get food back. But they did not have enough so they only got food for three days. -
Attalus he was made into a senator then an emporer i think. He had to get ALL the gold and valubales from the temples. Then Alaric said if they bring in everything he gives them 3 days of food. It didnt go well though. They started to starve after a while.

Priscus Attalus (d. after 416) was twice Roman usurper (in 409 and in 414), against Emperor Honorius, with Visigothic support. Priscus Attalus was a Greek from Asia whose father had moved to Italy under Valentinian I. Attalus was an important senator in Rome, who served as praefectus urbi in 409.
-
At this time rome was in starvation. There was not enough food for everyone to eat. And even the royal people did not have enough food to eat. The food was with the barbarians.
-
The only reason the barbarians starved Rome was for the emperor to keep his part of the deal.The barbarians let Rome get food for three days for all the roman gold.Even all the gold wasnt enough to win their freedom.Only three days. -
the barbaians starved rome. priscus attalus (one of the senators) made a deal with the king of goths. the king of goths said if they give all the gold and silver to them they will let them free. so they gave them everything they had and the barabrians said tht wasnt enough. so barbarians said they will feed them only for three days until the barbarians get what they want -
The barbarians and goths made rome starve. They made Rome suffer the way they made them suffer when rome destroyed their place. Its the fairest it can get.

He held the title of emperor in Rome, during 409, and later in Bordeaux in 414. His 1two reigns lasted only a few months; the first one ended when Alaric believed it was hampering his negotiations with Honorius, and the second came to an end after he was abandoned by the Visigoths and eventually captured by Honorius' men. Attalus was obliged to participate in the triumph Honorius celebrated in the streets of Rome in 416, before finishing his days exiled in the Lipari Islands.

Alaric was the king of Goths.He wanted Rome to give him some land for his people.He surrounded Rome and made them starve for food.He did it everytime he thought the emperor had betrayed him and his people. -
Some mordern historians say that he was the most bloodiest of barbarians.Rome gave the gold and silver of their city so he would stop surrounding Rome and let food in so they can eat.It worked for a while till Honorius send Roman troops to sneak into Rome and Alaric said that the emperor had betrayed them again.
-
Alaric was a man. He was the king of the goths i believe. He wanted everything he can get. He was very in charge and sounded tough.
-
Alaric 1 was the king of goths. He wanted everything to himself from rome because they made his people suffer. He made them starve and everything. Im accually amazed at what they did.

Alaric I (Alareiks in the original Gothic; Alarik or Alarich in modern Germanic languages; Alaricus in Latin; and Alarico in Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish), was likely born about 370 on an island named Peuce (the Fir) at the mouth of the Danube. He was king of the Visigoths from 395–410 and the first Germanic leader to take the city of Rome. Having originally desired to settle his people in the Roman Empire
-
Alaric was the king of the Goths. The Goths were a barbarian tribe in Ancient Rome. Alaric was basically the master mind of everything. He was brave man that will do anything to get what he wants. For example, once Alaric sent out his tribe to go attack Rome. Which they succeeded in doing. They started to starve and the emperor thought he would leave if he gets what he wants. Alaric is smart because that is kind of like blackmail. He ask for a piece of land. He also asks for all of Rome's treasures. Whether it was gold, silver or whatever he wanted it. Alaric took advantage of his power and started the fall of Rome. -
yea he was the king of goths and he made rome starve because he wanted their gold and silver and all their treasures. he had cut off all food supply to rome and no one could go in or out because the goths were surrounding it
-
-
Alaric served as a leader
-
Alaric was a goth that was the king of the goths. He took out Rome. He ripped Rome apart. He took out the western empire of Rome. His right hand man had married the emperors wife after the western empire has been destroyed. Alaric was an intelligent goth with a lot of power, so he decided to ask Rome for all their gold or he'll' attack them with all of their troops. At that time Rome only had 6,000 troops, when Alaric has 40,000 troops. The emperor was a weak emperor, He wasn't intelligent either, so what he did was he send them out to battle. They lost leaving 100 alive. Then a Roman general had brought those 100 troops to ambush them they lostt again which got Alaric mad since the Romans tried killing him 2 times but failed. then they entered rome and destroyed the western empire.

Yeah Josephus was an aristocrat and a Jew but he was not the one to tell Constantine to be christian. That would be Dia.Dia was a Jewish scribe that convinced Constantine to become christian. :)
-
-
Josephus's two most important works are The Jewish War (c. 75) and Antiquities of the Jews (c. 94).[6] The Jewish War recounts the Jewish revolt against Rome (66–70). Antiquities of the Jews recounts the history of the world from a Jewish perspective.

The works of Josephus provide crucial information about the First Jewish-Roman War and are also important literary source material for understanding the context of the Dead Sea Scrolls and post-Second-Temple Judaism.

His first work in Rome was an account of the Jewish War, addressed to certain "upper barbarians" – usually thought to be the Jewish community in Mesopotamia – in his "paternal tongue" (War I.3), arguably the Western Aramaic language.

He then wrote a seven-volume account in Greek known to us as the Jewish War (Latin Bellum Judaicum). It starts with the period of the Maccabees and concludes with accounts of the fall of Jerusalem, the Roman victory celebrations in Rome, the mopping-up operations, Roman military operations elsewhere in the Empire and the uprising in Cyrene. Together with the account in his Life of some of the same events, it also provides the reader with an overview of Josephus' own part in the events since his return to Jerusalem from a brief visit to Rome in the early 60s (Life 13–17).

Josephus was an important apologist in the Roman world for the Jewish people and culture, particularly at a time of conflict and tension. He always remained, in his own eyes, a loyal and law-observant Jew. He went out of his way both to commend Judaism to educated Gentiles, and to insist on its compatibility with cultured Graeco-Roman thought. He constantly contended for the antiquity of Jewish culture, presenting its people as civilised, devout and philosophical. Eusebius reports that a statue of Josephus was erected in Rome. Josephus's two most important works are The Jewish War and Antiquities of the Jews.The Jewish War recounts the Jewish revolt against Rome.Antiquities of the Jews recounts the history of the world from a Jewish perspective. These works provide valuable insight into first century Judaism and the background of early Christianity.

Antiquities of the Jews (Antiquitates Judaicae in Latin) was a work published by the important[1] Jewish historian Flavius Josephus about the year 93 or 94. Antiquities of the Jews is a history of the Jewish people, written in Greek for Josephus' gentile patrons. Beginning with the creation of Adam and Eve, it follows the events of the historical books of the Hebrew Bible, but sometimes omits or adds information.

Antiquities of the Jews

Antiquilties of the Jews means history of the Jews. Many people thin that Jews are very innocent but in the ancient times you would think differently. The Jews are the ones that crucified Jesus. They fougth against the Romans in Judea. Took them all out. The only time they were innocent I would say was the holocaust. In the holocaust the Nazis and Hitler treated the Jews badly.

It was fun learning about the jews. I learned about the manorah and other things. If you were a girl you would have a batmitzvah and if you were a boy you'd have a barmitzvah. Rome could learn holidays from these people. -
antiquities of the jews was a very good history to learn about because people like the Germans use to blame everything on the jews

First Council of Nicea (325) First Council of Constantinople (381) We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of all things visible and invisible. We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten of the Father [the only-begotten; that is, of the essence of the Father, God of God], Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds (æons), Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; By whom all things were made [both in heaven and on earth]; by whom all things were made; Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down and was incarnate and was made man; who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; He suffered, and the third day he rose again, ascended into heaven; he was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried, and the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. from thence he shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Ghost. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spake by the prophets. In one holy catholic and apostolic Church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

There are several designations for the two forms of the Nicene creed, some with overlapping meanings:

why would there be two forms of Nicene creed? why can there only be one? All I know that the Nicene creed is a type of law. And that for people it was a pit confusing. -

The Nicene Creed (Latin: Symbolum Nicaenum) is the creed or profession of faith (Greek: Σύμβολον τῆς Πίστεως) that is most widely used in Christian liturgy. It is called Nicene (pronounced /ˈnaɪsiːn/) because, in its original form, it was adopted in the city of Nicaea by the first ecumenical council, which met there in 325
-
-
The Nicene Creed has been regarded as a touchstone of true Christian faith, though not a complete expression of it. When the word "symbol" meant a "token for identification (by comparison with a counterpart)",[15] the Nicene Creed was given, in Greek and Latin, the name "symbol of faith", a name still used even in languages in which "symbol" no longer has that meaning.
-
The purpose of a creed is to act as a yardstick of correct belief. The creeds of Christianity have been drawn up at times of conflict about doctrine
-
-
he original Nicene Creed was first adopted in 325 at the First Council of Nicaea. At that time, the text ended after the words "We believe in the Holy Spirit", after which an anathema was added.[4]
-
-
-
n the late sixth century, the Latin-speaking churches of Western Europe added the words "and the Son" (Filioque) to the description of the procession of the Holy Spirit, in what Easterners have argued is a violation of Canon VII of the Third Ecumenical Council, since the words were not included in the text by either the Council of Nicaea or that of Constantinople.[12] The Vatican has recently argued that while these words would indeed be heretical if associated with the Greek verb ἐκπορεύεσθαι of the text adopted by the Council of Constantinople,[13] they are not heretical when associated with the Latin verb procedere, which corresponds instead to the Greek verb προιέναι, with which some of the Greek Fathers also associated the same words.[14]

Maxentius
-
Maxentius is pagin.That means he belives in the Roman God.Unlike Constinte he belives in a different god.Constintine has a sheep for his sacrifice. -
Maxintine was fighting with constintine. They wanted to become emperor.But the night before they fought something changed constinetine.Then he became christian and belived in the religon of christianity.
-
-
Maxentius WAS a pagan. He hated Constantine. In the battle he died in Maxentius had a plan that once all of Constantine's army gets on the bridge they will lot the bridge loose. And since they are wearing armor they will sink in obviously will not survive. But, Maxentius's plan backfired and he and his army fell into the water. That was ironic because Dia, the christian scribe said to Constantine the day before the battle that if he puts the sign of the Christians they will Conquer. Which they did. From there on Constantine became Christian.
-
maxentius hated constantine + he was a paygan constantine was christian they both fought over the western side of rome he tought he was going 2 win but he didnt -
Maxentius had lost the battle against Constantine. The battle. Or war , was on the Mivilian bridge. He fell for his own trap.
-
Maxentius was so stupied falling for his own trap,what a dummy he was. hey i guess it was for a reason.Constanie to win but i guess god was with him.
-
max is a pegan he was cristan he was the first christan emporer there was to be he was very spealcel he was very know and famous -
-
i think maxentius and constantine were the emperors of the western roman empire. constantine wanted to be the only a soull emperor of rome. constantine made war with him. maxentius died in his own trap. tht was a bad move
-
he drawned in the battle to take rome but he failed Contantine was the victorious emperor that put back rome into one rome -
this emperor believed in many gods not like constantine he believed in only one god
-
maxentius is a pagin. Pagins believe in more than one god. maxentius was an emperor of the eastern empire

Why do they call him by his last name.I would have call him by his first.Mabey from back then they would have call you from your last name.Its not common for people to call you from your last name.

As his father became emperor in 285, he was regarded as crown prince who would eventually follow his father on the throne. He seems not to have served in any important military or administrative position during Diocletian's and his father's reign, though. Early (the exact date is unknown) he married Valeria Maximilla, the daughter of Galerius. He had two sons, Valerius Romulus (ca. 295 – 309) and an unknown one.

i think that he must have been excited when he was crowned prince. i think that he followed the same footsteps as his father. also that he was ready to take the throne from his father. -
it must have been exiting.he followed the same fooot steps as his father.he was ready to rule. he was the worst ruler ever..

i think that he was too young to have sons. i would like to know how old the other one was. i would have liked to know that because i wanted to know his age. he might have been older or younger than his brother.

Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maxentius (c. 278 – 28 October 312) was Western Roman Emperor from 306 to 312
-
Maxentius was the Emperor of Western Rome.But then Constanstine fought him in a battle and beat him.So from there on he became emperor of the Western Rome too.And Constanstine was loved as Emperor. -

-
War against Constantine
-
In this war it was a very famous war. It was the 2nd war that rome had. This was in 324Ad. And Maxentius was expecting to win but he lost bad.
-
he tried to drown constantines army but his plan backfired on him and he drowned to death
-
the way that his plan backfired just scream's that the plan wasn't thought thourgh very well
-
-
Maxentius
-
Maxentius also believes in maney gods. But his enemy Constantine. Was christian. That is probably why they are enemys.
-
they were enemies. but now that cristians and non-cristians get along they would not have a problem if they were around at that time. -
being enemies over one stupid thing about christains is like wow,if they get into a fight about that they'll get into a fight about any thing
-
-
Circus of Maxentius.
-
This was the biggest circus built. It was were the soldiers would race on chariots. There were no rules at all. You could do whatever you could to win the race.
-
that would be cool a game with no rules. Now in days you cant even do anything in a game.
-
-
-
-
When rumours reached the capital that the emperors tried to subject the Roman population to the capitation tax, like every other city of the empire, and wanted to dissolve the remains of the Praetorian Guard which were still stationed at Rome, riots broke out
-
the gurads won kill the emperor if he was a bad one. Or if he would not pay the parentoin Gurad their money.
-
i'm guessing that that the most of the emperors were cheap cause most emperors didn't pay the gaurds
-
-
When Constantius died in 306, his son Constantine was crowned emperor on July 25 and subsequently accepted by Galerius into the tetrarchy as Caesar. This set the precedent for Maxentius' accession later in the same year.
-
-
Place of death
-
he died drowning fighting agninst constantine he fell for constantine trap
-
-
In 305, Diocletian and Maximian resigned, and the former caesares Constantius and Galerius became Augusti. Although with Constantine and Maxentius two sons of emperors were available, they were left out from the new tetrarchy, and Severus and Maximinus Daia were appointed Caesars. Some sources (Lactantius, Epitome) state that Galerius hated Maxentius and used his influence on Diocletian that Maxentius be ignored in the succession; maybe Diocletianus also thought that he was not qualified for the military duties of the imperial office. Maxentius retired to an estate some miles from Rome.
-
War against Constantine
-
he out numbered constantine 5 to 1. he had a very good plan but it backfired and actually killed him and most of his army. he tried to make the bridge colapse with constantines army but his army with him was on the bridge and the bridge colapsed and maximus and his army drowned
-
-
-
-
Maxentius expected an attack along his eastern flank from Licinius, and stationed an army in Verona

Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maxentius (c. 278 – 28 October, 312) was Western Roman Emperor from 306 to 312. He was the son of former emperor Maximian, and the son-in-law of Galerius, also an emperor.
-
-
Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maxentius was born around AD 279 as the son of Maximian and his Syrian wife Eutropia. He was made a senator and even was given Galerius' daughter Valeria Maximilla in marriage in an attempt to confirm his status of the son of an emperor. But other than these honours he received nothing. No consulship to groom him for power, no military command. First he suffered the indignity together with Constantine of being passed over as Maximian and Diocletian both resigned in AD 305, when they both had to watch the relative unknowns of Severus II and Maximinus II Daia accede to what they saw as their rightful places. Then at the death of Constantius Chlorus in AD 306 Constantine was granted the rank of Caesar, leaving Maxentius out in the cold

Maxentius
-
What I ment by that was that Maxentius once had to fight against Constantine. His idea was to make the bridge fall when all of his army was on it. Pretty simple. But Maxentius ebded being the one falling into the water with his army. They were all wearing armor obviously so they could not get up. So they sink right down. Constantine won and Maxentius died. :l

The pagan Maxentius, went to war against constantine on the milvian bridge. fortunatley, instead of maxentius' trap destroying Constantine and his army, the plan of having the bridge collapse backfired and he eventually killed himself.

Claudia Octavia (Classical Latin: CLAVDIA•OCTAVIA[1]) (Late 39 or early 40-9 June 62) was a Roman Empress, stepsister and first wife to Roman Emperor Nero.
-
Octavia was the sister of Octavian. When Antony was with Cleopatra Octavian decided to scam Antony. He became friends with Antony and then offered him to marry his sister. Antony was trapped because if he said no he would disrespect Octavian and if he said yes he would get in problems with Cleopatra. So he decided to say Yes. He and Octavia did not work out. At some point Antony got back together with Cleopatra. Cleopatra must have been really upset.

-
Octavia was the only daughter of Roman Emperor Claudius by his third marriage to his second cousin and Roman Empress Valeria Messalina. She was named in honor of her great-grandmother, Octavia Minor, the elder sister of Emperor Augustus. Her elder half-sister was Claudia Antonia and her full sibling was Britannicus

Romulus Augustus

The historical record contains few details of Romulus' life. He was installed as emperor by his father Orestes, the Magister militum (master of soldiers) of the Roman army after deposing the previous emperor Julius Nepos. Romulus, little more than a child, acted as a figurehead for his father's rule. Reigning for only ten months, Romulus was then deposed by the Germanic chieftain Odoacer and sent to live in the Castellum Lucullanum in Campania; afterwards he disappears from the historical record.

Romulus life was very harsh.He was the last emperor of the western empire.Romulus had more than one child.Romulus was a Germanic chiefain Odoarcer and he was sent to live in campania.That was after he became emperor of rome.

Romulus the Great (Romulus der Große) about a last Emperor called Romulus Augustulus, but uses some artistic license: his Romulus is a middle-aged student of history.

Romulus the great was the last emperor to be named Romulas Augustulus. I wonder if they would have kept that name to see if one of the other emperors would be called like that. It would be even cooler if they would have kept it till now in the 21st Centrey.

Even by the standards of the rapidly declining Western Empire, Honorius' reign was precarious and chaotic. His throne was guarded by his principal general, Flavius Stilicho, who was successively Honorius's guardian (during his childhood) and his father-in-law (after the emperor became an adult). Stilicho's generalship helped preserve some level of stability, but with his execution, the Western Roman Empire moved closer to collapse

An invasion of Alans, Suevi and Vandals moved from Gaul on 31 December 406, and arrived in Hispania in 409. In 408, Stilicho (after forcing the Roman Senate to pay 4,000 pounds of gold)[2] was arrested and executed by the order of Honorius, probably because of a court conspiracy against the Arian general. The Visigoths under their King Alaric I invaded Italy in 408, besieged Rome, and extorted from the city a ransom of 5,000 pounds of gold, 30,000 pounds of silver, 4,000 silken tunics, 3,000 hides dyed scarlet, and 3,000 pounds of pepper)[3], while Honorius in Ravenna did nothing.

Honorius wasn't a real leader. He was more like a follower and because of his not very wise descions of his generals the western roman empire fell. Rome needed a strong and wise leader not a kid who will always be asking for help when he's the one that's suppose to help. Also a leader that can control his own situations , and do what he thinks is best for rome.
-
-
To counter Priscus, Honorius tried to negotiate with Alaric. Alaric withdrew his support for Priscus in 410, but the negotiations with Honorius broke down. Alaric again entered Italy and sacked Rome.
-
Alaric just asked for some land for his people. They did need land to function, to live, and to grow their crops. I didn't think it was too much to ask for. All they wanted was the romans to treat them as their equals . Mostly it's the general's fault for trying to kill Alaric's troop and him just because of what happened in the past. Now for that stupid mistake Alaric and his men thought the emperor has betrayed him for the third time.
-
Honorius wasn't very wise. Asking your senate about what to do? Uh, no not a very smart thing to do because this is what YOU want for the empire . No one else. The choices Honorius made was why the western roman empire fell. He didn't take charge nor did he act like a leader.
-
-
The most notable event of his reign was the assault and Sack of Rome on August 24 410 by the Visigoths under Alaric.
-
Sack means to to rob, or burn down. That's exactly what alaric an his men were planning on doing. It's what Rome gets for not trying to accepet the barbarins , and for killing their people. The emperor wanted to negoaite ,but let's say some people can hold a gruge for years , and takes matters in their own hands to get revegne.
-
During the sack of Rome Honorius' sister was taken by Alaric's men as houstche or captive. The sack of Rome was to me a terrible sight. I guess that's how it was back then. We learn from their mistakes , and make better choices unlike Honorius.

Instead of his son Caesarion. octavian and Antony were enemies. It was Octavian's idea to assasinate Caesar He was a coward. On the other hand he was a great emperor. The people of Rome loved him.

Decimus Iunius Iuvenalis, known in English as Juvenal, was a Roman poet active in the late 1st and early 2nd century AD, author of the Satires. The details of the author's life are unclear, although references within his text to known persons of the late 1st and early 2nd centuries AD fix his terminus post quem (earliest date of composition).

i think that the nick name juvenal was given to him because he did something wrong. I also think that he liked writng poems and then he got tired. Also that he spended his time at home.he was a good poet.

Juvenal wrote at least 16 poems in dactylic hexameter covering an encyclopedic range of topics across the Roman world

i think that 16 poems is alot to write. Espeacilly all the way back then. also that people admired his poems. He must have taken a long time doimg all of his work. also i think that he took his time and admired his work.

16 poems is a great accomplishment.It was great that this man was able to accomplish this goal. Juvinal would probably my favorite poet.

i think that it is very bad that such a large variety of texts were lost. also that the person in charge of that should have gotton in to trouble. We could have used those texts to help us with many things found around that area in ancient rome. I also think it is ver bad that those texts were lost.

The details of the author's life are unclear, although references within his text to known persons of the late 1st and early 2nd centuries AD In accord with the vitriolic manner of Lucilius - the originator of the genre of Roman satire - and within a poetic tradition that also included Horace and Persius, Juvenal wrote at least 16 poems in dactylic hexameter covering an encyclopedic range of topics across the Roman world. While the Satires are a vital source for the study of ancient Rome from a vast number of perspectives, their hyperbolic, comedic mode of expression makes the use of statements found within them as simple fact problematic, to say the least. At first glance the Satires could be read as a brutal critique of Rome, perhaps ensuring their survival in Christian monastic scriptoria, a bottleneck in preservation when the large majority of ancient texts were lost

Cicero was born in 106 BC in Arpinum, a hill town 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of Rome. So, although a great master of Latin rhetoric and composition, Cicero was not "Roman" in the traditional sense, and was quite self-conscious of this for his entire life.
-
can you Imagen being born not as a Roman but a barbarian and then becoming a emperor. For him I gets his life was perfect. being born in a town 100kilometers south of Rome. Don't forget he was a great master of Latin rhetoric that is how lucky he is.

During this period in Roman history, if one was to be considered "cultured", it was necessary to be able to speak both Latin and Greek.

it must have been grade that he knows Greek and Latin. since he would need it in order to be consider a "culture". If he didn't knew this language than who know what would happen. This is why he is also known.

Cicero was a famous Roman statesman. He was born six years before Julius Caesar. They were in politics at the same time. Cicero was from a wealthy family. He was educated as a lawyer. He served in the Senate. He served as elected Consul, the highest position in government under the Republic. He was a wonderful speaker. When Cicero spoke, people listened. Cicero said about government, "In a kingdom, only the king has many rights. Kings can be wise and just. But rule by one person can easily become tyranny." When Julius Caesar entered the city of Rome with his army, and declared himself dictator, Cicero said: "I see no reason for ... being alarmed except the fact that, once departure has been made from the law, everything is uncertain; and nothing can be guaranteed as to the future which depends upon another man's will, not to say caprice. When Caesar declared himself dictator for life, his action was in direction violation of the principals of a constitutional republic." The day Julius Caesar was assassinated, Cicero was there. But he was not one of Julius Caesar's attackers. Cicero lived at time when Rome was changing from a constitutional republic to a dictatorship, ruled by emperors. Cicero fought in the way he knew best, with words and speeches, about the importance of keeping a constitutional government. His words did not fall on dead ears, but the Senate had lost nearly all its power

The Battle of the Milvian Bridge took place between the Roman Emperors Constantine I and Maxentius on 28 October 312. Constantine won the battle and started on the path that led him to end the Tetrarchy and become the sole ruler of the Roman Empire. Maxentius drowned in the Tiber during the battle.

This was very mysterious because there are two stories about what Constantine saw one night before the battle. One story said that Constantine sees a cross. A invisible hand that writes letters in latin that meant " by this sign you will conquer." The other story says a metor rite hited near constantine's army and the general says the other army is 3 times larger than theirs. Constantine still goes to fight with the christian sign on all the soliders sheild. These stories were very mysterious , but interesting.
-
-
According to chroniclers such as Eusebius of Caesarea and Lactantius, the battle marked the beginning of Constantine's conversion to Christianity. Lactantius recounts that Constantine and his soldiers had a vision that God promised victory if they daubed the sign of the cross on their shields.
-
Constantine didn't usually believe in christianity before this battle . It was a miracle . Because of this Constantine was the first roman emperor who became christian. Before constantine no roman emperor accepted this religion. God does work in mysterious ways.

Lactantius states that, in the night before the battle, Constantine was commanded in a dream to "delineate the heavenly sign on the shields of his soldiers"
-
The next morning Constantine commanded his soliders to paint the christian sign on their sheilds. They didn't. They were afriad their roman gods would strike them on the spot for worshipping another god. Constantine himself painted the christian sign on some of the shields to prove he didn't die . The romans god didn't kill him at the spot . After that the soliders did what they were told. i could see constantine felt strongly about what he was doing.

Constantine 1 was the most famous emperor in the Roman Empire. He was famous because he was the first emperor to become christian. That made him famous because usually the Christians are the enemies. Once Constantine bcame Christian he wanted to become allies with the Christians. He became Christian after the battle on the bridge. He became christian after that because the day before the battle, Dia, the christian scribe told him that if he put the sign of the christians on all the shelids he will conquer. He did. Now he believes in their God.

Licinius and Martinianus surrendered to Constantine at Nicomedia on the promise their lives would be spared: they were sent to live as private citizens in Thessalonica and Cappadocia respectively, but in 325 Constantine accused Licinius of plotting against him and had them both arrested and hanged; Licinius's son (the son of Constantine's half-sister) was also eradicated.[191] Thus Constantine became the sole emperor of the Roman Empire.

Constantine is perhaps best known for being the first Christian Roman emperor; his reign was certainly a turning point for the Christian Church. In 313 Constantine announced toleration of Christianity in the Edict of Milan, which removed penalties for professing Christianity (under which many had been martyred in previous persecutions of Christians) and returned confiscated Church property. Though a similar edict had been issued in 311 by Galerius, then senior emperor of the Tetrarchy, Galerius' edict granted Christians the right to practice their religion but did not restore any property to them. [195]

Constantine started a war with Licinuis so he can concord the eastern part of the Roman empire. After the war, they had a draw and for 7 years they had peace until Licinuis send his troops to assain cristian. Thats when Constantine began a new war with Licinuis and then he unleash his secret the that was the Cristian sign with the god's face on it. Then armysaw the sign and said "hey, that sign means that the god of the Cristians is coming down here and gonna destroy us." Which that meant a distracting for then and many soldiers got killed. When Licinuis saw that he flle back to his palace, because he knew that Constantine was going to kill him and so made Constantine the winner of the battle. -

n 310, a dispossessed and power-hungry Maximian rebelled against Constantine while Constantine was away campaigning against the Franks. Maximian had been sent south to Arles with a contingent of Constantine's army, in preparation for any attacks by Maxentius in southern Gaul. He announced that Constantine was dead, and took up the imperial purple. In spite of a large donative pledge to any who would support him as emperor, most of Constantine's army remained loyal to their emperor,

He ordered all bridges across the Tiber cut, reportedly on the counsel of the gods,[

n medieval times, when the Roman Catholic Church was dominant, Catholic historians presented Constantine as an ideal ruler, the standard against which any king or emperor could be measured.[242] The Renaissance rediscovery of anti-Constantinian sources prompted a re-evaluation of Constantine's career. The German humanist Johann Löwenklau, discoverer of Zosimus' writings, published a Latin translation thereof in 1576. In its preface, he argued that Zosimus' picture of Constantine was superior to that offered by Eusebius and the Church historians, and damned Constantine as a tyrant.

Diocletian's Tetrarchy worked pretty well for about 20 years, but then it broke down. In 306 AD one of the Emperors, Constantius, died. He was supposed to be succeeded by his assistant, Severus. But he had a son, whose name was Constantine. When Constantius died, Constantine was not happy about being left out, and Constantius' army declared Constantine emperor. There was a big civil war. Maxentius Maxentius In one of the battles of this war, in 312 AD, Constantine was about to fight the son of another Emperor, Maximian. This son was named Maxentius. The battle was right outside Rome: Constantine was camped outside the walls of Rome, and Maxentius was inside Rome. Constantine's men were badly outnumbered. The night before the battle, Constantine had a dream. A cross or maybe some other Christian symbol appeared in the sky and he heard the words, "Under this sign you will win." Constantine figured that this meant he would win the battle if he had his soldiers paint a cross on their shields. He did have the soldiers paint the cross on their shields, and they did win the battle. Constantine was very impressed with the power of the Christian god, and became a Christian. He put up a triumphal arch to remind people of his victory.

Caesar Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus (27 February c. 272- 22 May 337), commonly known in English as Constantine I, Constantine the Great,was Roman emperor from 306, and the sole holder of that office from 324 until 21his death in 337. Best known for being the first Christian Roman emperor, Constantine reversed the persecutions of his predecessor, Diocletian, and issued the Edict of Milan in 313, which proclaimed religious toleration throughout the empire. The Byzantine liturgical calendar, observed by the Eastern Orthodox Church and Eastern Catholic Churches of Byzantine rite, lists both Constantine and his mother Helena as saints. Although he is not included in the Latin Church's list of saints, which does recognize several other Constantines as saints, he is revered under the title "The Great" for his contributions to Christianity. Constantine also transformed the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium into a new imperial residence, Constantinople, which would remain the capital of the Byzantine Empire for over one thousand years.
