You have captured beautifully the the seat, power and glory of Emperor Constantine. You make so real. Thank you.
An introspection into the mind and thoughts of Emperor Constantine, the well acclaimed king of Constantinople! He didn't allow himself to be bothered by the weight of authority! From the poem I assume, he believed in the policy of decentralization, but at the same time enjoyed his imperial status! Being the first emperor to embrace Christianity, and being a good king, whose mind was full of golden truths, I have heard that he got deified! I doubt if his father enjoyed that status! A poet can always mould a character to his liking..... as poetry is not a piece of history or plain fact! Enjoyed the poem in beautiful fiction!
