Firth is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the life and reign of Constantine the Great, focusing on his pivotal role in the transformation of the Roman Empire, particularly his conversion to Christianity and the resulting societal changes. The book delves into the complexities of his character and the significant historical events of his time, providing readers with insight into the impact of his reign. The opening of the text sets the stage by describing the dire state of the Roman Empire under Diocletian, highlighting both external threats from barbarian invasions and internal strife that led to periods of chaos and military rule. Firth introduces the empire at a low point, detailing the struggles and failures of its emperors as they grapple with numerous invasions and revolts. This introduction provides a backdrop for understanding the significance of Constantine's eventual rise to power, framed within the broader context of Diocletian's reforms and the growing tensions that led to Constantine's emergence as a major historical figure.
