Greetings all,
On this Day we commemorate the anniversary of Constantine's Vision before the battle of the Milvian Bridge:
There
has been much speculation about the details of this vision. It was not
Constantine's first (he is known to have had visions of Both Venus and
Mercury in previous years.) It is also thought that his vision might
have been a celestial phenomenon called a Solar Halo, where the Sun can
form a cross and circle image in the sky. It is even possible that
originally he wasn't certain whether this was related to Sol Invictus or
the Christian Cross... he did mint coins with Sol Invictus with a halo
for years after.
Whatever
the details, Constantine this symbol as the Labrum banner into all
conflicts after, and this vision did change the world.
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
