Constantine the Populist
It has long been acknowledged that although the reign of Constantine (d. 337 c.e.) brought new prosperity to the Christian churches, it was also an age of ever-escalating division.

This essay suggests that recent scholarship on populism can help us to understand the role of conflict in Constantinian Christianity.

Yet it is less clear whether this goal was shared by the emperor himself. |
