Description:
For centuries, Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea (c. 260-339 CE) was thought to have been a close confidante and advisor to his younger contemporary, Constantine the Great (r. 306-337). Eusebius himself contributed to this image in his biography of that emperor, de vita Constantini (VC), in which he claimed the right to undertake this work on the basis of his closeness to the emperor. Modern scholars have greatly reduced this estimation of Eusebius’s influence, and are aware that the bishop idealized his subject. But the VC remains the most important text for studying this reign, so the task now is to break the hermeneutic seal in which Eusebius encased the first Christian emperor.
