It was a logical step--worship of Athena and the other pagan gods had been going on uninterruptedly for at least a thousand years. Yet, no more than a lifetime later, when another Roman Emperor set out on a similar expedition to the eastern frontier, he scorned Athena's protection. Constantine and his troops marched under the Sign of the Cross. With stunning suddenness, Christianity had emerged at the center of the Mediterranean world." #02158 HEAVY ITEM WILL REQUIRE EXTRA S/H.
