And because we do not know for sure in what year Saint Martin was born, it is possible that the famous episode of the young Christian soldier garrisoning in Amiens and sharing his military cloak with a poor freezing wretch at the city gate happened under Magnentius. After all, Christianity was the official religion of the troops, as proclaimed by Magnentius coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
