Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Constantine the Great (ca. AD 275-337) converted to Christianity before he defeated his rivals for control of Rome in a crucial battle at the Milvian Bridge over the Tiber River in 312. The belief that the victory was due to heavenly intervention is indicated by the angels. Once emperor, Constantine established Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire. The composition was taken from a famous 16th-century fresco by Giulio Romano in the Vatican that was well known through engravings.
