Abstract

The following paper will examine the religious policy of Constantine the Great, most importantly in the period from his alliance with Licinius to his victory over his fellow Augustus at Chrysopolis, resulting in Constantine becoming the sole Augustus of the Roman Empire. Said religious policy will be examined through the political positioning of Constantine within this order, as well as numismatic evidence and legislative activity throughout the period in question. Consequently, the paper will establish that Constantine the Great’s religious policies primarily followed his position within the religio-political consensus between himself and Licinius during 313–324, rather than pursuing policies based on gradual change of his own personal and distinct beliefs towards solar or Christian monotheism.
