Default Emperors and Writers

Hi Jacob,

The general rule for writers in the Roman Empire was "Please your Emperor or die." Constantine became emperor in 307.

Warmly,

Jay Raskin

It is unclear to me and I hope you clarify via your answer to my question above.

Kirby,
It is up to you to choose how to respond or even not to respond at all. It doesn't have to be what you see as tit for tat.

If I have presented zero evidence (assuming it was up to me to do that), then this thread has accomplished its objective and we can rule out the idea that E contsructed Church History to please Constantine.

That was easy .
