Description

In 325 AD, a gathering of bishops in a small town near Constantinople changed the course of Christianity and the Roman Empire forever.

At its heart was Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor, whose dream of a unified empire under one God reshaped church and state. But why did Constantine step into this religious fray? How did his decisions at Nicaea influence the future of Western civilization?
