Or was he motivated by political concerns. A debate is raging across the industry.

From the Lamplighter greasy spoon in Chatsworth to the headquarters of Private in Spain, pornographers fight amongst themselves about the true intentions of the fourth century Roman Empire.

He was motivated by political concerns of course. Do you really think he saw a cross in the sky before going into battle?

I'm not sure but I think it is about time we start discussing this and tear down the wall of silence that this industry has for too long maintained about Constantine.

Why are people so afraid to delve into this? What hidden truths threaten the powers that be? I believe that MaxCash has much to fear from this...

hehe, too funny.

The fact that Constantine maintained various pagan religious practices while professing xtianity is probably some evidence that his conversion was political in nature.

The Church fathers at that time were not into syncretism (historical understatement of the year), so at the very least he couldn't have been an orthodox believer.

In answer to the topic. Yes. He had faith in himself.

How can you ever *know* what anyone believes, whether you know them, or they are a 4th century Roman Emperor?
