    I think he saw a vision of the cross in the clouds or something and put it on his shield?

      Yeah, there was some dream or vision to do this before a battle and they’d win, so he did it and they did win, or so the story goes at least.

      Kinda convenient how these people who make it known that they think being at the head of a religion would be great for them and then suddenly a religious experience just kinda falls into their lap like that.

      Similar happened with Scientology and Mormonism iirc, too.

        Was just talking about how ironic it was the Roman emperor embraced Christianity as a tool to kill people. Exactly as Jesus intended???
