By This Sign Thou Shalt Conquer

Triumphant Destiny is Vera Kryzhanovskaya (Rochester)’s historical novel. The story takes place in ancient Rome during the spread of Christianity. It is devoted to the Battle of the Milvian Bridge on October 28, 312 CE—when the then ruler of Ancient Rome, Emperor Maxentius, fought the future Roman emperor Constantine I the Great. As a result, the latter became sole ruler of the western part of the Roman Empire. The battle’s worldwide historical significance lies in the fact that it led to the legalization of Christianity and its transformation into the state religion of the Roman Empire. An engaging plot, gripping intrigues—amazingly accurately, the author managed to convey the spirit of the historical era; the work is packed with many interesting details.
