There is a huge, complicated literature on the question of whether Constantine I ‘converted’ to the Christian faith. Sometimes the simplest argument is the best. Joseph Vogt of Tübingen says in the 1960s: “I prefer to trust Julian the Apostate’s bitter reproach to his uncle of having deserted the sun god, Helios.” That’s one line worth one thousand pages. QED.
