| | Roman Emperors - DIR Constantine I |
 | | Linda Jones Hall, "Cicero's instinctu divino and Constantine's instinctu divinitatis: The Evidence of the Arch of Constantine for the Senatorial View of the 'Vision' of Constantine," Journal of Early Christian Studies 6 (1998) 647-71. | | | The prevailing character of Constantine's government was one of conservatism. | | | It has often been supposed that Constantine's profession of Christianity was a matter of political expediency more than of religious conviction; upon closer examination this view cannot be sustained. |

| | Arch of Constantine lecture hum110 Sp 1997 |
| | Though Constantine could trace his family lineage directly back to the Flavians, the dynasty that had ruled the empire for the thirty or so years after Nero's death, he was not of the same blue aristocratic blood as the senatorial class who dominated the political landscape of the city of Rome. | | | We should view his refusal to sacrifice on the Capitoline at this point in time, as simply his desire to avoid offending his new found patron deity, who he believed was responsible for his recent victory. | | | For in the new capital Constantine both initiated the imperial blood line and created a new urban topography, one entirely to his liking. |

| | THE ARCH OF CONSTANTINE AS A 'COMPOSITE' MONUMENT |
| | 7 Apart from anything else, the arch implied that his defeat of Maxentius in a civil war was as honourable as the momentous victories over foreign foes that had been won by his illustrious predecessors. | | | If they upset him, he could react with violence; if he upset them, they might assassinate him. | | | Many think that Constantine caused it to be erected for his own glorification, a hubristic manifestation of his overweening pride. |

| | As was customary, the vanquished enemy is not mentioned by name, but only referred to as "the tyrant", drawing on the notion of the rightful killing of a tyrannical ruler; together with the image of the "just war", it serves as justification of Constantine's civil war against his co-emperor Maxentius. | | | They are usually read as sign of Constantine's shifting religious affiliation: The Christian tradition, most notably Lactantius and Eusebius of Caesarea, relate the story of a vision of the Christian god to Constantine during the campaign, and that he was victorious in the sign of the cross at the Milvian Bridge. | | | The official documents (esp. coins) still prominently display the Sun God until 324 AD, while Constantine started to support the Christian church from 312 on. |
