Emperor Costantino:
Italy, Lazio, Rome -
Costantino's arc pictures----Arco di Costantino ----foto----Nella Roma di Costantino con il computer ---- the mother, sant'elena mausoleo------THE ARCHES OF ANCIENT ROME----Christianity was accepted by Emperor Costantino: “as allied to gather all power against roman aristocracy, confiscating all goods and belongings in the Temples dedicated to polytheism in favour of Bishops and popular Churches”. Ancient Roman domains turn into “Pieve”, popular church, governmental districts with the chores of supervising religious and administrative life of towns under their jurisdiction. Municipalities turn into Dioceses. Early gods worshiped in the valley are substituted by Jesus Christ and Saints turn to be the protectors of the town---

Constantine is considered the most important of the later emperors because of
his victory against Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge,
his support for Christianity (he proclaimed the Edict of Milan in 313 granting religious freedom to all),
and his creation of a new central city for the Roman Empire at Byzantium (Constantinople).

DONATION OF CONSTANTINE FORGERY----Donation of Constantine....Purportedly issued by the fourth century Roman Emperor Constantine I, the Donation grants Pope Sylvester I and his successors, as inheritors of St Peter, the dominion over the city of Rome, Italy, and the entire Western Roman Empire, while Constantine would retain imperial authority in the Eastern Roman Empire from his new imperial capital of Constantinople. The text claims that the Donation was Constantine's reward to Sylvester for instructing him in the Christian faith, baptizing him and miraculously curing him of leprosy.----
Donation of Constantine -----On the Forgery of the Alleged Donation of Constantine-----

The Donation of Constantine tells the story of Constantine‘s conversion to Christianity. According to this document, Constantine had contracted leprosy and was advised by his pagan priests to bathe in children’s blood in order to be healed. Constantine didn‘t have the heart to follow through and later that night in a dream Saints Peter and Paul appeared to him. They directed him to Pope Sylvester I who would heal him and then he was to restore the Christian churches and worship the true God. Constantine did as he was instructed, was healed, was baptized , and in thanks he gave as a "deed" the document known as the Donation. Among other things, it acknowledged the supremacy of the See of Rome over earthly thrones as well as the other sees of Antioch, Alexandria, Constantinople, and Jerusalem.
According to that alleged charter, the Roman Fuehrer was owner of the entire Western part of the Roman Empire. That means he possessed -- among others -- countries like, for instance, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Great Britain, Yugoslavia or Germany respectively big parts of those countries that belong to the mentioned ones, today.

The Roman Revolution is a profound and unconventional treatment of a great theme - the fall of the Republic and the decline of freedom in Rome between 60 BC and AD 14, and the rise to power of the greatest of the Roman Emperors, Augustus.

Constantine (273-336 AD) was a Roman emperor who converted to Christianity as a result of a vision during battle, issued edicts of toleration for Christianity that ended centuries of persecution, and called the Council of Nicea to resolve the Arian Controversy. -----

Space impact 'saved Christianity'......
Did a meteor over central Italy in AD 312 change the course of Roman and Christian history?

About the size of a football field: The impact crater left behindA team of geologists believes it has found the incoming space rock's impact crater, and dating suggests its formation coincided with the celestial vision said to have converted a future Roman emperor to Christianity.
It was just before a decisive battle for control of Rome and the empire that Constantine saw a blazing light cross the sky and attributed his subsequent victory to divine help from a Christian God.
Constantine went on to consolidate his grip on power and ordered that persecution of Christians cease and their religion receive official status.
Civil war
In the fourth century AD, the fragmented Roman Empire was being further torn apart by civil war. Constantine and Maxentius were bitterly fighting to be the sole emperor.
Constantine was the son of the western emperor Constantius Chlorus. When he died in 306, his father's troops proclaimed Constantine emperor.
...a most marvellous sign appeared to him from heaven...
Eusebius But in Rome, the favourite was Maxentius, son of Constantius' predecessor, Maximian.
With both men claiming the title, a conference was called in AD 308 that resulted in Maxentius being named as senior emperor along with Galerius, his father-in-law. Constantine was to be a Caesar, or junior emperor.
The situation was not a stable one, however, and by 312 the two men were at war.
Constantine overran Italy and faced Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge over the Tiber a few kilometres from Rome. Both knew it would be a decisive battle with Constantine's forces outnumbered.
'Conquer by this'
It was then that something strange happened. Eusebius - one of the Christian Church's early historians - relates the event in his Conversion of Constantine.
"...while he was thus praying with fervent entreaty, a most marvellous sign appeared to him from heaven, the account of which it might have been hard to believe had it been related by any other person.
"...about noon, when the day was already beginning to decline, he saw with his own eyes the trophy of a cross of light in the heavens, above the Sun, and bearing the inscription 'conquer by this'.
"At this sight he himself was struck with amazement, and his whole army also, which followed him on this expedition, and witnessed the miracle."
Spurred on by divine intervention, Constantine's army won the day and he gave homage to the God of the Christians whom he believed had helped him.
This was a time when Christianity was struggling. Support from the most powerful man in the empire allowed the emerging religious movement to flourish.
Like a nuclear blast
But what was the celestial event that converted Constantine and altered the course of history?
Jens Ormo, a Swedish geologist, and colleagues working in Italy believe Constantine witnessed a meteoroid impact.

Drill rig: Sampling the craterThe research team believes it has identified what remains of the impactor's crater.
It is the small, circular Cratere del Sirente in central Italy. It is clearly an impact crater, Ormo says, because its shape fits and it is also surrounded by numerous smaller, secondary craters, gouged out by ejected debris, as expected from impact models.
Radiocarbon dating puts the crater's formation at about the right time to have been witnessed by Constantine and there are magnetic anomalies detected around the secondary craters - possibly due to magnetic fragments from the meteorite.
According to Ormo, it would have struck the Earth with the force of a small nuclear bomb, perhaps a kiloton in yield. It would have looked like a nuclear blast, with a mushroom cloud and shockwaves.
It would have been quite an impressive sight and, if it really was what Constantine saw, could have turned the tide of the conflict.
But what would have happened if this chance event - perhaps as rare as once every few thousand years - had not occurred in Italy at that time?
Maxentius might have won the battle. Roman history would have been different and the struggling Christians might not have received state patronage.
The history of Christianity and the establishment of the popes in Rome might have been very different.
