Constantine the Great, Early 307 - 22 May 337 A.D.
|Constantine| |the| |Great|, |Constantine| |the| |Great,| |Early| |307| |-| |22| |May| |337| |A.D.|, In 312 A.D., on the march from Gaul to Rome, Constantine claimed to see the sign of a cross of light in the sky and the words "By this sign, conquer." But this was not yet the time of Constantine's Christian conversion. He thought the cross was a sign from Sol. Only years later did he learn, through a dream, that cross was a sign from Christ.
