Constantine the Great, says historian Vasiliev, is the only one of the greats in history who has received such great opposition. Indeed, the hostility, persistence, stubbornness, and timeless warfare waged against the great reformer and founder of Orthodoxy, mainly from the West, is so hostile that one would believe that today Constantine would have fallen into the oblivion of History and the forgetfulness of the Church. But that did not happen. His enemies did not harm his great personality and his work, nor did they manage to transmit their baseless doubts to the Christians of the East. This alone proves how weak the arguments of this warfare are!
Kostas Karastathis focuses his research on this warfare and seeks documented historical truth in the texts of the chroniclers of the time and the great historical researchers of recent centuries, while at the same time outlining the personality and character of Constantine, as they are projected through his speeches and works, and briefly recounts his fascinating life, so rich in adventure, action, successes, enthusiasm, dealing with conspiracies, glory, tragedies, and pain.
