The Holy Roman Catholic Church and Constantine

I've always been completely fascinated by Roman history. I haven't seen the BBC piece called "The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire" until today. It's very long at 14 episodes, 30 minutes per episode. The link below is of Constantine; a former pagan Roman Emperor converting to the Roman Catholic Church.

I recommend all 14 episodes, but the below 10 of 14 represents the birth of the first Christian Roman Emperor:

It's extremely interesting, and the piece touches quite a bit on how Christianity is introduced to Rome.
