30 is a good age to delve into the life changing experience of having a direct connection to God. Einstein talks about a universal religious experience many see amongst mystic traditions around the world, i never thought mine would come through Christ via the Holy Spirit but the first time my blind eyes opened i didn't want to sleep worried i might not wake with the same connection. i could barely make out words other than a confession "i never believed it was real". i wish someone just looked me with complete conviction and simply told me it was real. It is, and worth every ounce of strength used to find this pearl of immeasurable wealth. i went from bum drug addict to climbing everest and retiring wealthy in 6 years, the wealth freed me to share Christ in 86 countries so far and times where i cry from joy. we are blessed. im praying for you and all who need a closer relationship with Christ Jesus. The world hates God and the easiest given path back to our Creator.

"In hoc signo vinces," is attributed to the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. It translates to "In this sign, you will conquer." This phrase is tied to the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD, where Constantine, after reportedly seeing a vision of a cross in the sky, ordered his soldiers to paint the Christian symbol on their shields. He then went on to defeat his pagan rival, Maxentius, marking a pivotal moment in the spread of Christianity within the Roman Empire. No wonder he is the great.

An author pointed out that previous to the times of Constantine the incentive of Roman citizenship was the golden ticket of its day. Masses of peoples would cross into its sphere of influence for reward purposes, trade, technology etc. Men fought in Rome's army for the incentive, it was a huge contributor to what melded the Roman empire together, to what made it great. But by the time of Constantine the empire was a shadow of its former self, the barbarians had long been at the gates, and the incentive of Roman citizenship no longer had a value. This was apparent to Constantine and been a pragmatic man Constantine knew he needed something new . . . There were people who had a belief, but at the time where persecuted, fed to the lions and who worshipped a fish symbol. But their belief offered eternal life. What more could be offered but eternal life? Throughout, Constantine is still figurehead of the old Roman gods to hedge his bets. The cross in the sky . . . But to bring about this change onto Rome, especially on the border tribes, he must begin a war of destruction and propaganda against people's beliefs, who worshipped a sacred tree and held belief in holy men and woman. The belief of witches been evil held sway until this day, Roman propaganda Ha! Try n shorten the story, there holds belief that many of the old cathedrals are sited on old ancient sacred sites, as many of the old beliefs still held sway amongst many commoners, guilds etc, right into the middle ages and beyond. There's just so so so much more to it I wouldn't want to bore anyone. It was over 30yrs I read the book, can't remember the author or name. It was a fill in, in between Tom Clancy, Wilber Smith, Dean Koontz, Sven Hassel . . .

This is not true at all. Up until Albinus no governor had rebelled while plenty had on the Rhine already. By the fall of the West, both the Danube and the Rhine by FAR had the most rebellions and it's not even close. Britain had Albinus (193), Carausius (286), Constantine (306), and Magnus Maximus (383). I think there's a couple more during Honorius but Britain's garrisons were never replenished during the reign of Theodosius or the de facto rule of Stilicho, so those are more local rebellions which happened all over during the 60 wasted years of Honorius and Valentinian III.

Hi all. I did the research for this battle. If you have any questions please ask! My other collaborations with HistoryMarche include Aurelian, the Third Samnite War, Satala, Edessa, Abritus, Merv, and the Margus. If you're interested, I have a book on the Tetrarchy titled 'Dynastic Politics in the Age of Diocletian', which is now available for 25 pounds on the Edinburgh University Press website. As always, HistoryMarche has produced an excellent video. However, an editor made some changes to the script that resulted in a couple of mistakes, and so in the interests of accuracy, here are the corrections: - Diocletian had not died by the time of Maxentius' usupation in 306. In fact, despite an old idea that he died in 311, Diocletian almost certainly outlived Maxentius, dying at the end of 312 or in early 313. - The two emperors who had previously tried to oust Maxentius were Severus and Galerius, not Severus and Maximinus Daza. Maximinus Daza actually briefly allied with Maxentius in 307/8, and was again forging an alliance with Maxentius in 312 when the latter found himself at war with Constantine. - Lactantius does not report on a vision in the sky, only a dream. The first author to report on a vision is Eusebius. Incidentally, a key reason why Maxentius expected war with Licinius rather than Constantine was because Licinius had been made emperor by Galerius and Diocletian with the express purpose of overthrowing Maxentius. However, Licinius does not appear to have fully embraced his task, only taking Histria in 309. And by October 312 he and Licinius had likely agreed to divide the empire between them, with Constantine having betrothed his half-sister Constantia to Licinius. Lastly, the original script had an account of the battle of Turin, which demonstrates that Constantine could be a brilliant tactician. I attach it here as bonus content: 'Constantine’s army moved quickly and occupied an uphill position, but the Maxentians were undeterred. They attacked in a convex formation whose flanks extended downhill, with elite Dalmatian cavalry on the wings, infantry further towards the middle, and a large wedge formation of clibanarii, super-heavy cavalry, in the centre. The Maxentians intended to bait the Constantinians with the wedge formation and then outflank them with their wings, which may have been partly concealed by the hilly terrain. However, Constantine took personal command over his mailed cavalry and placed them in the centre of his front-line opposite the clibanarii. As the clibanarii charged, Constantine opened a gap in his own cavalry formation so as to spoil the enemy’s momentum and give the impression of panic. Disordered from their wasted charge, the clibanarii found themselves facing a line of fresh infantry, and Constantine’s cavalry then re-formed, cutting off their retreat. The infantry used iron-tipped clubs to batter them to death. Meanwhile, Constantine’s wings advanced, obstructing the flanking manoeuvres of the Maxentians. The enemy routed, and the survivors were cut down beneath the closed gates of Turin. Turin then surrendered and the important city of Milan did likewise.'

​@@vidushaki7157Indeed , what bothers me more is how the pre Constantine Roman emperors are always written about as great rulers despite many of them being barbaric and nearly mad, while Constantine is almost always painted as the devil. Infact the media always portrays the ancient Roman empire as some safe and great place to live in all the while ignoring by slight of hand the constant wars , sieges and brutal crackdowns the Romans metted upon any area suspected of rebelling against Roman rule. Ancient Rome is romanticised and glamoralised in modern media but Christian Western Europe which is far greater than Rome is demonised and blamed for all the world's problem. Thank God for Constantine, the greatest Roman emperor.

I did the research for the video, and since you're an enthusiast for Constantine's generalship, here is an outtake on his victory at Turin, probably his finest tactical performance! 'Constantine's army moved quickly and occupied an uphill position, but the Maxentians were undeterred. They attacked in a convex formation whose flanks extended downhill, with elite Dalmatian cavalry on the wings, infantry further towards the middle, and a large wedge formation of clibanarii, super-heavy cavalry, in the centre.

Romans often believed in visions (e.g. the Dioscuri fighting in the battle of Lake Regillus), so it is likely true that Constantine believed he had a vision and possibly embellished it. But as classicists have persuasively argued (Peter Weiss, Timothy Barnes, etc), his vision was initially believed by the emperor to be Apollo.

The contemporary writer Lactantius describes the death of Maxentius in the following manner: "The bridge in his rear was broken down. At sight of that the battle grew hotter. The hand of the Lord prevailed, and the forces of Maxentius were routed. He fled towards the broken bridge; but the multitude pressing on him, he was driven headlong into the Tiber." It seems more likely that the stone bridge had been at least partially dismantled before the battle by Maxentius as a defensive measure, and that it was the temporary wooden/pontoon bridge that was subsequently used, and it was that bridge that broke at a decisive point during the rout. Stone-built Roman bridges seldom spontaneously 'break'.

*Fun Fact* After the battle, Maxentius' body was fished out of the Tiber and beheaded. During the celebrations, his head was paraded through the streets of Rome for all to see. To prevent further resistance from Africa, Maxentius' head was sent to Carthage as proof of his demise.

Thanks for using more historically friendly images for the figures in the video (ex: Constantine, Maxentius). Some of the previous videos have figures either strange in their entirety or off by centuries (armor).
