Constantine

"Lol, lets be fuckin Christians!"

>be one of the most accomplished generals and statesmen in Roman history
>1700 years later some autismos boil me down to my religious convictions

a traitor if there ever was one. He sold the empire for a cross.

when will a politically correct president make Hollywood its capitol for the new American empire?

Historical evidence suggests that the Christian god is not as good at protecting you from the barbarian hordes as the Roman pantheon was.
Capital mistake Romans.

>holy
>roman
>empire

not related to romans and problably a germanic that his ancestors destroyed and raped romans


GET THE FUCK OUT

I mean, he did contribute to the spread of christianity throughout europe. And probably held back technological progression for about 500 years.

he knew the religion was bullshit, he just used it for a power grab, he even took advantage of the fact that once you have been baptized you are forgiven of all previous sins

he waited till the last second for his baptism

he was an opportunist

Full blooded Italian, good try tho. Fuck off my thread unless you're gona contribute something

Best emperor ever

If anything the passive teachings lead to progression in science after everyone stopped killing each other in gladiator fights.

There wasn't exactly a shit ton of power in Christianity in early fourth century.

The baptism was a tradition at the time. Baptism would wipe away your sins, so people would hold it off as long possible.

What’s wrong with Christianity though? Would you prefer Mithra or Mani? Because the old pagan cults were dead by late antiquity and these were on the plate.

>Full blooded Italian
not a race

if you have light features then your ancestor raped and destroyed romans

that is for romans and greeks

>And probably held back technological progression for about 500 years.
Why do retarded atheists spew nonsense like this all the time?

>Baptism would wipe away your sins

Do people really believe this stupid shit?

>fact

Bullshit.

Bathing has no spiritual value whatsoever.

>Hurrr If you have light features you're a germ raped baby
>being this low in IQ

Is this what your third world shitcountry teaches you with American money? Btw >Dominican
Look up the origin of that name. Ura rape baby too.

Not if they believe sins are dirt they don't.

IN HOC

Constantine believed in Sol Invictus not in Cuckstianity

WE

WE

>Saint of the orthodox church
>Boils his wife alive and strangles his son

they picked him up in Africa.

Caption says that there were runaway slaves, so we can assume he was one

>Black Guy
>Using a spear
Checks out.

He delayed his baptism til the end of his life because he understood, as an Emperor, especially a late Roman Emperor and especially as one of the most martial figures in late Roman history, that he would be forced to commit grave sins for the better of the Empire. He believed deeply in Judgement and wanted to ensure he died with peace of mind. Also, what super spooky hidden utility would Constantine get from converting, if not an eternal and spiritual one? Christianity did not have the same rhetorical implications as the cults of Mithras or Sol Invictus.

What the fuck are you talking about? Are you talking about his father, Constantius? Constantine clearly saw the Chi-Rho in the sky, venerated the apostles, held a council with bishops to discus Christian theology, enacted an edict that cleared all prosecution of Christians and built places of worship adorned with crosses and fish. Doesn't sound like he's praising the Sun.

SIGNO, VINCES

Fausta was a bitch who had it coming and Crispus was unfortunately falsely incriminated. That whole episode weighed on Constantine's conscience for the rest of his life.

Would his dynasty have been less murderkilly and more stable had Crispus not been executed?

Idk why but it really activated my almonds when someone replied to more than 2 posts in one.

>be one of the most accomplished generals and statesmen in Roman history
Except he wasn't

As he should have

FUCK CONSTANTINE !
