The Emperor Julianβs βThe Caesarsβ describes his grandfather Constantine as a decadent fop addicted to pleasure and greed. Was this perception a plausible one or merely a result of Julianβs sour grapes over Christianity?

The Cross is a revived symbol of the Roman Pagans and other ancient religions (or mythology). This video talks in depth about the symbol of the sun cross and how it was introduced in Christianity through emperor Constantine's dream.

I got the labarum tattooed, before people go mad over it I do think the period when Rome converted Christianity as it head religion is a important part of Romes history. If it was for the better or worse is another discussion. As Constantine the first said βIn hoc signo vincesβ.

Emperor Constantine never converts to Christianity and instead heavily embraces the Roman gods and persecutes Christians to the brink of extinction.
Additionally: Constantine also never moves the capital

The 2017 Eclipse Miracle: Like when Constantine the Great saw the Greek letters Chi Rho in the sun and defeated a Roman Army twice the size of his by converting to Christianity, then the entire Roman Empire followed, such a miracle occurred during full eclipse on the banks of the Tennessee River.
All witnessed the letters NR on the top and underneath BS. And the hundreds of thousands of people lining the Tennessee River south of Knoxville all simultaneously understood the meaning of this miracle: No Run Bernie Sanders. And everyone started saying "No Run Bernie Sanders" together and it grew louder and louder throughout the Tennessee River valley. Some started speaking in tongues saying "Bernie would have lost." The sound was deafening. Only when the eclipse completely ended did it stop. But we all knew that we had been touched by this miracle and it was now everyone's mission that had experienced it to go forth and spread the word.

Could the 4th century Roman emperor Julian have reversed the Christianization of the empire begun by Constantine and continued by Constantius II? In other words, did Julian have a chance to restore imperial paganism, or was Christianity too entrenched by that point?

If Constantine never legalised Christianity; how would itβs history be affected?
Iβve been reading extensively on early Christian history and itβs sudden rise to dominance after being fully forbidden merely a decade before.
So Iβm curious as the whether the faith could have survived and/or achieved global dominance without this monumental shift.

How significant was Constantine's conversion to Christianity?
I recently read an /r/HistoricalWhatIf post on this topic, and it made me wonder how significant Constantine's deathbed conversion really was. Would Christianity have died out without imperial support? How much support was given by the empire to Christianity after Constantine's death? This is often described as a key event in Christianity, and the story of Constantine's conversion is famous. Was it actually vital to the growth of Christianity, especially if it had already existed as a minority religion for the 300 years preceding Constantine's conversion?

Substantial differences between Eusebius' and Lactantius' account of Constantine's pro-Christian policies/conversion?
Eusebius and Lactantius both personally knew Constantine. Other than the "sign" by which Constantine was to conquer, do their accounts of his conversion, motivations, and pro-Christian policies differ in any substantial way?

Why did Tsar Alexander I of Russia not inform anyone except his mother and Duke Constantine that he was going to change the succession?
When Tsar Alexander died in 1825, part of the problem in the ensuing Decembrist Revolt was not only that the public thought Constantine stood to inherit the throne- but also Nicholas, who was in fact Alexander's heir, believed Constantine would inherit. Alexander had informed Constantine that he was being disinherited, but why would he not inform Nicholas- given that Nicholas was subsequently caught off guard and potentially vulnerable to the Decembrists?

[S4] Oliver and Constantine had more chemistry than Olicity, and I do mean in a 'shipping' way.
I actually noticed this re-watching the episode, and it doesn't help that Constantine is bisexual and, honestly I could see Oliver being bi.
I thought of this because my wife and I were watching parts of Arrow on Netflix, and when Constantine shows up and Felicity throws out her snide little comment, "I'm just glad the latest person from Oliver's past isn't another gorgeous woman." my wife literally responded with, "Jokes on you, they probably banged before."
Man, I've love to see Felicity have a meltdown over that too. I still get war flashbacks over her whining about Isabel Rochev from Season 2.

I'm torn between John Constantine, Black Adam and Dr. Fate
I can only purchase and L3 one of them.
Since I'm not prioritising a debuff or bleed oriented team I'm leaning towards Adam and Fate.
Also I main HGDS a lot, so Adam would be it?
