“CONSTANTINE THE GREAT”
Marble Mosaic
11 x 15 inches
2008
A mosaic portrait in ten different types of marble. Constantine the Great was a larger than life ruler, Augustus of the Roman Empire from 306 to 337. Constantine converted from pagan believe into Christianity as a result of a mystical dream experience. He quickly ended centuries of intense Christian persecution when he made Christianity the state religion of Rome Empire. Further, he brought Christian worship out of hiding and out of the catacombs. This led to him building the first above ground specifically Christian basilica churches across the Roman empire, some of which still stand today. In the eastern part of the empire, he founded “Nova Roma”, or ‘New Rome”, later called Byzantium and Constantinople, and today called Istanbul. -- Greg Haas
