I really like the painting on the cover. Very lifelike.

These Bantam Classics covers are pretty damn good.

Jaidyn has funko pops.

So you're telling me that Waldun wrote a novel about how reading books is superior to "information ingestion" that's prefaced by a quote he obtained not thru reading but via a google search.

>on the night before Maxentius sallied out to meet him, Constantine had a dream in which he was commanded to use the sign of the cross to defend against all enemies. In the morning he ordered his soldiers to paint on their shields the Chi-Rho, a sacred monogram incorporating the first two letters of ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ, meaning “Christ” in Greek.

>In the Vita Constantini, at some point on their march, Constantine and his army saw a vision of the Christian symbol of the cross hovering above the sun. It bore the Greek inscription En toutō nika—“In this, conquer.” Eusebius then describes a divine dream similar to Lactantius’s account. According to the Vita, the next morning Constantine consulted those familiar with the Christian God to inquire about his dream. They confirmed that it was Christ who had appeared to him. Upon hearing this, Constantine converted to Christianity and vowed to oust Maxentius from his throne.

>Constantine’s conversion to Christianity before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge would prove instrumental in reversing the fate of Christians throughout the Roman Empire. Although some scholars have doubted the genuine nature of his pre-battle conversion, it is almost certain that Constantine’s victory over Maxentius confirmed his belief that the Christian God had protected him and would continue to guide him.
