EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the annals of ancient history, Emperor Constantine the Great (reign 306-337 AD) is depicted in the midst of a pivotal moment that would forever change the course of the Roman Empire and the world. The year is 312 AD, and Constantine, who had recently been declared Augustus by his troops, faces his co-ruler Maxentius outside the walls of Rome. The two powerful leaders had been engaged in a bitter struggle for supremacy, each vying for the title of sole emperor. The scene unfolds on the outskirts of Rome, with the two armies locked in fierce combat. Amidst the chaos and confusion of battle, an extraordinary event is said to have occurred. According to legend, as Constantine's forces began to falter, a cross, supernaturally imbued with divine power, appeared in the sky. The cross was surrounded by the Greek letters CHI and RHO, the first two letters of the word "Christ" in Greek. Constantine, a man of pragmatism and a keen sense of strategy, was not one to ignore omens or divine signs. He ordered his soldiers to paint the symbol of the cross on their shields and standards. With renewed courage and determination, they charged forward, and the tide of battle turned decisively in Constantine's favor. Maxentius was killed, and Constantine entered Rome as the undisputed ruler. The momentous victory marked the beginning of Constantine's conversion to Christianity, a faith that would soon become the dominant religion of the Roman Empire. He attributed his victory to the power of the cross and the divine intervention that had guided him to it. This image, with its dramatic depiction of a pivotal moment in history, serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and the indomitable human spirit.
