The Chi Rho in the Snow: Constantine I and Roman Dacia's Last Pagan Emperor
Om avsnittet
In this episode of The History of Romania, Lucas and Luna explore the twilight of Roman Dacia through the figure of Constantine I—the emperor who legalized Christianity, campaigned against the Goths, and left an indelible mark on the Carpathian-Danubian world. They discuss Constantine's bridge across the Danube, his battle at Campus Ardiens, the legacy of his Dacian soldiers in the Roman army, and the archaeological traces of Christian basilicas from the 4th century in Dobruja. They also touch on the controversy of Constantine's supposed Dacian origins and the fate of the Romanized population after the legions withdrew. The episode ends with a reflection on how the Chi Rho symbol, carved into Roman milestones and fortresses, marks a turning point in the region's history.
