<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2318601, member: 42773&quot;]That blurb on Constantine may very well be Dane&#039;s. It&#039;s not inaccurate, but it is very one-sided, and some of it is pure conjecture. Which ancient source tells us that Constantine was jealous of Crispus and the charges were trumped up? My understanding is that the details are so vague it&#039;s impossible to draw conclusions. Calling Constantine &quot;vain and self-important&quot; tells us nothing. Name me one Roman emperor that <i>wasn&#039;t</i> vain and self-important.</p><p><br /></p><p>But this brings up another issue. I googled that entire paragraph and found it sprinkled all over the web, mostly on sites selling coins. Nobody cites a source. Simply copying and pasting information you find on the web without citing sources is intellectually vapid and deplorable. Most people will read something over and over again on a few different sites, and by sheer repetition, somebody&#039;s opinion becomes &quot;fact.&quot; Question everything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
