Default Did Constantine have absolute power?

False and irrelevant. Constantine never had "absolute power". As emporer, he had considerable amount of power, but to suggest that he was an ancient Castro is absurd. Many emporers were disposed early, some by even their own people.

We are not talking about any general emperors of the Roman empire.
We are discussing the supreme imperial mafia thug Constantine.
He did what he wanted. He had absolute power.
Read a history book. Were you the same moderator that
another poster asked "How old are you?", and did you
respond?

One must bear this in mind, in generalisations.
But conspiracy theories proposed by someone without an education in the subject matter who has no inkling of the amount of implausibility his suggestion contains and which disregards an entire validated science is not only inappropriate, but it's stupid.

You are publically making the inference that I am without
an education in the subject matter. What is your evidence
for this inference.

Were you the same moderator in this forum who, when I asked
them for their evidence for pre-Nicaean christianity pointed at
a reference for the James Ossary? And then called it science.

As for your reference to both inappropriateness and stupidity,
I will allow your response to the above to display your convictions.

Best wishes,
