Constantine and the Rise of Christianity: How One Emperor Changed the Roman Empire (2 Hours)

Описание: Before Constantine, Christians were persecuted.

After Constantine, bishops advised emperors.

In this 2-hour historical documentary, we follow the complete arc of Constantine’s rise — from the Crisis of the Third Century, through the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, the Edict of Milan, the Council of Nicaea, the founding of Constantinople, and the gradual transformation of the Roman Empire.

This is a chronological, fact-based narrative grounded in:
– Roman imperial records
– Early Christian sources (Eusebius, Lactantius)
– Mainstream historical scholarship

We examine:
• The Great Persecution
• The Tetrarchy and civil wars
• Constantine’s vision before battle
• Legal toleration of Christianity
• The Arian controversy
• The Council of Nicaea (AD 325)
• The founding of Constantinople
• Pagan resistance
• Succession struggles
• Constantine’s baptism and death
