O knihe
Excerpt from Watson's Magazine, Vol. 16: April, 1913
Constantine had committed every crime which was serviceable to his ambition. He had stopped at no treachery, no sacrilege, no fraud, no ruthless brutality.
Having become the master of the world, he developed a suspicion that was as destructive as his inhumanity.
He murdered his son, Crispus, a bril liant, popular prince. He murdered his nephew Licinius; and he suffocated in a steam bath Fausta, his wife of twenty years, the mother of his three sons.
Accustomed as the Roman people were to imperial crimes, they were horrified by the atrocities of Constan tine.
In one way or another, public feeling will manifest itself: hence the pasqui nade hanging to the palace gate.
The fury of the Emperor was so great, he at first meditated a massacre of the Roman populace.
It is said that he conferred with his brothers on this measure of vengeance. They advised him to a course still more deadly to imperial Rome, and be determined to degrade the city of the Seven Hills and of the Tiber, by build ing a. New capital on the Hellespont the cross-roads of the international commerce of the Old World.
