Viggen 95 Report post Posted November 3, 2006 Another review has been completed for our Roman Books section, thanks to community member Ursus. D.G. Kousoulas inveigles the line between history and historical fiction in his The Life and Times of Constantine The Great. Kousoulas declares in his introduction that he shall take a different approach to history: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DecimusCaesar 1 Report post Posted November 4, 2006 Great review. It looks like it would be a good book to start studying Constantine before moving on to the more academic, in-depth stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Augusta 1 Report post Posted November 4, 2006 Great review. It looks like it would be a good book to start studying Constantine before moving on to the more academic, in-depth stuff. I agree. I think Ursus' review has finally persuaded me to take the plunge and learn about Constantine. I have to confess to never being really interested in him before, probably due to the picture painted of him - as Ursus says - in Christian folklore. To write history in the way Kousoulas has, would probably serve as a good introduction and I could make my mind up from there whether or not to study Constantine further. Thanks, Ursus - you have converted me! No doubt Constantine would be pleased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
