<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gordon Doherty, post: 3142354, member: 97004&quot;]Nice post and discussion. Re &quot;was the battle at the Milvian bridge an important event to people of the empire, and specifically to the people of Constantinople?&quot; I think so - or at least Constantine would most likely have wanted it to be remembered by the people. By 330, when the coin was struck, Constantinople was flourishing as Constantine&#039;s &#039;Nova Roma&#039;, so his conquest/liberation (wherever you stand on that one) of the old Rome would have been a highly symbolic event.</p><p><br /></p><p>Re the battle: the Osprey volume &#039;Milvian Bridge 312 AD&#039; does a good job of putting shape to the confusing accounts of the battle and the campaign as a whole.</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Milvian-Bridge-AD-312-Constantines-ebook/dp/B01GORR1HC" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Milvian-Bridge-AD-312-Constantines-ebook/dp/B01GORR1HC" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Milvian-Bridge-AD-312-Constantines-ebook/dp/B01GORR1HC</a></p><p><img src="https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61ztBmrAJ7L.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
