Instead Constantine wanted people to see the war and his victory as a Roman victory and show the defeated Licinius almost like an external enemy. Maybe the image was to be understood as a promise of future glory.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1273816[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
