The rockface at the west end of the building was cut away, although it is unclear how much remained in Constantine's time, as archaeological investigation has revealed that the temple of Aphrodite reached far into the current rotunda area, and the temple enclosure would therefore have reached even further to the west.

Constantine's rule, however, validated Diocletian's achievements and the autocratic principle he represented: the borders remained secure, in spite of Constantine's large expenditure of forces during his civil wars ; the bureaucratic transformation of Roman government was completed ; and Constantine took Diocletian's court ceremonies and made them even more extravagant.

She had also sworn on Constantine's deathbed not to marry again, and had even imprisoned and exiled Romanos Diogenes, who was suspected of aspiring to the throne.

Gildas is clear that Constantine's sins were manifold even before this, as he had committed " many adulteries " after casting off his lawfully wedded wife.

Constantine's Shaper family has been disgraced by Constantine's defeat, and Lindsay manages to convert them to his cause, even Constantine's " daughter " Vera ( created from DNA taken from Vera Kelland decades before ).

The imperial propaganda in the age of Constantine's dynasty added more confusion by attributing all the calamities to the reign of Gallienus to avoid blemishing the memory of Claudius ( supposed ancestor of the dynasty ).

Constantine's response to this tightening circle of enemies was a final desperate gamble: he marched on Italy with the remaining troops left to him, encouraged by the entreaties of one Allobich who wanted to replace Honorius with a more capable ruler.

Having failed to carry out the Constantinople coup, King Constantine's government once more reverted to the plan for the proclamation of an independent Ionia.

Once more, Constantine's performances were not statistically exceptional, but his style impressed critics and spectators, and he came top of the West Indies bowling averages.

Constantine's extrovert exuberance was, of course, more particularly Trinidadian than generally West Indian.

In the Middle Ages, the Torre delle Milizie and the convent of St. Peter and Domenic were built, and above Constantine's building was erected the Palazzo Rospigliosi ; the two famous colossal marble statues of the " Horse Tamers ", generally identified as the Dioscuri with horses, which now are in the Piazza Quirinale, were originally in this Palazzo.

The Arch of Constantine, erected in celebration of the victory, certainly attributes Constantine's success to divine intervention ; however, the monument does not display any overtly Christian symbolism.

Zosimus mentions it, vaguely, as being a wooden construction while others specify that it was a pontoon bridge ; sources are also unclear as to whether the bridge was deliberately constructed as a collapsible trap for Constantine's forces or not.

Constantine's infantry then advanced, most of Maxentius's troops fought well but they began to be pushed back toward the Tiber ; Maxentius decided to retreat and make another stand at Rome itself ; but there was only one escape route, via the bridge.

The current Hellenic Republic has long challenged King Constantine's right to use his title ; in 1981, the then Greek President Konstantinos Karamanlis declined to attend the wedding of the Prince of Wales when it was revealed that Greece's deposed monarch, a cousin of the Prince, had been referred to as ' King ' in his invitation.

Christian Sabbathkeepers, who never accepted Emperor Constantine's edict in 321 A. D., the first enforcing Christian worship on Sunday rather than on Sabbath, were demonized and accused of witchcraft ; hence, the accusatory nomenclature, " witches ' sabbath.

But her statue endured during the revolutionary reign of Sulla and became a model for future Roman women culminating with the portrait said to be of Helena, Emperor Constantine's mother four hundred years later ; however, the base of Cornelia's statue was altered during the conservative attempts of later Roman reformers in which the base of her statue that gave reference to her famous sons was filed away and replaced with the inscription as “ daughter of Africanus ” rather than “ mother of the Grachii .” 6

Constantine's construction took over most of the site of the earlier temple enclosure, and the Rotunda and cloister ( which was replaced after the 12th century by the present Catholicon and Calvary chapel ) roughly overlap with the temple building itself ; the basilica church which Constantine built over the remainder of the enclosure was destroyed at the turn of the 11th century, and has not been replaced.
