ALFÖLDI, ANDREW. — The Conversion of Constantine and Pagan Rome.

Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1998. 0198143567. Translated by Harold Mattingly. "Shows the consequences of Constantine's conversion - his growing favour to the Christian Church, his turning from paganism,and, in the end, his deliberate intention of destroying pagan worship - and helps to realize the forces that rallied to the defence of the old religion, especially the senatorial aristocracy of Rome. In their battle against the all-powerful Emperor the pagans had to use mainly indirect means, and it is to the literature and art they called into service that we owe a great deal of our knowledge of antiquity."
