But it was still just one of many religious sects on the edges of Roman society. Only the whim or faith of an emperor could change the course of history. Emperor Constantine was a ruthless general who slashed his way to power. He was a harsh warlord, capable of terrifying violence. He even executed his own wife and son. But he was also a visionary, who in one decision changed the entire course of Western civilisation. No one knows for sure why Constantine chose to embrace Christianity. But the decisive revelation took place here at Milvian Bridge on the outskirts of Rome.
