These issues trace Constantine’s changing public image: Sol invoked divine favor inherited from earlier imperial tradition, the vows proclaimed continuity and legitimate rule, and the paired soldiers and standards emphasized the army that secured his supremacy. His victories ended tetrarchic fragmentation, established his family’s dominance and tied imperial government increasingly to Christianity.
