<p>[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 5166623, member: 10613"]There is another source that says Constantine made a dramatic midnight escape and as he got to each outpost, he swapped out his tired horse for a fresh one and killed the others so pursurers could not catch him. Another source has Constantine fighting a lion while in the East-- "Galerius...lay a plot against the youth and set him to fight with a savage lion." The truth is that Constantine most likely had it pretty good in the East. My impression is that he did not even really like the West, probably considering it a backwater. Shortly after reuniting with his father, he spent several years slowly moving east, until he finally made his new capitol in Byzantion/ Constantinople.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
