CONSTANTINE THE GREAT GENERAL: A Military Biography
Constantine's life and reign were accompanied by significant military activity - Elizabeth James turns a focused lens on the under-reviewed marital aspect of this ruler - The text itself is well - written and highly accessible - The transitions are effected smoothly. The chapters of this section are intended jointly as a foundation for understanding the forces which shaped Constantine, and especially his relationship to the military. In this, they work reasonably well, especially for the reader who wants only a brief introduction to these topics - well formulated, accessible text, "Consantine the Great: Warlord of Rome" provides general readers with a quick overview of Constantine's role as a military commander - the book remains worth reading for those seeking an introduction to the topic or wanting to expand this picture of this emperor.'
