The Epic of Constantine is a epic poem chronicling the dramatic life, trials, and divine mission of the blessed Emperor Constantine: soldier, sovereign, and the first Christian emperor of Rome. Written in the grand tradition of The Odyssey and Paradise Lost, this epic fuses classical poetic form with profound theological reflection, tracing Constantine's rise from poverty to emperor, his divine vision before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, his triumph over pagan tyrants, and his fateful alliance with the Church of Christ.
Told in elevated verse, The Epic of Constantine is both a literary and spiritual journey. Alongside the poetry are 35 full-color, high-quality renderings that vividly bring to life key moments in Constantine's life-from the Labarum raised in battle to the solemn moment he granted the Lateran Palace to the Bishop of Rome, marking the beginning of a new era for the Catholic Church (these renderings are in same style as cover). Included as well are detailed maps illustrating the shifting control of the Roman world and the progression of Constantine's campaigns, along with stylized sketch portraits of emperors that visually anchor the historical narrative.
Included with the epic is a in-depth Catholic apologetics essay defending the historical legacy of Constantine and correcting centuries of modern misconception. This essay explores his true relationship with the Holy Catholic Church, his role in the Council of Nicaea, his true relationship with the papacy, and his enduring place in the providential arc of salvation history.
This is not only a tale of emperors and wars, but of grace, providence, and the mystery of an empire baptized. A must-read for lovers of history, theology, and epic poetry.
