Today is the 1,707th anniversary of an event which changed human history forever ~ Constantine's victory at the Milvian Bridge outside of Rome.

I also posted an article about Constantine's famous vision, complete with primary source quotes, here.

Yet Constantine remained an unbaptised non-christian until he accepted baptism by Semi-Arian Bishop Eusibius of Nicodemia.

As I understand it, he then banished all Nicene bishops/priests from Rome and brought back the previously banished Arian Bishops/Priests.

And finally committed his son Constantinus(?) to be a Arian-Christian emperor.

Obviously Constantine had regrets about the Nicene Creed which he in-part dictated and coerced through threat of banishment.
