[edit] re: Battle of Milvian Bridge
The statement that Constantine adopted Christian faith around 28 October 312 is highly arguable. And, in fact, "October 28" page states that he defeated Maxentius, saying nothing about Christianity. The legend of the vision, "in hoc signo vinces", and labarum is, properly, a legend.--Panairjdde 08:04, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
- I rewrote the sentence. Is it better now ? -- PFHLai 16:36, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
- No. Later Christian sources claimed this legend (and some of them put the vision when Maxentius was in the north). No pagan source deals with such miracle. The bound between the battle and the miracle is legendary, not historical, altought it is important.--Panairjdde 18:02, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
