Historical sources, however, are not consistent and differ on certain issues as to the so-called “miracle of Constantine”.
The history of Rome in the educational canon of teaching history begins with the founding myth immediately enters the times of the republic. The royal period is often overlooked in silence. This is understandable given the tight schedule of history lessons. However, the royal period in Rome’s history, which lasted 244 years, prepared the ground and paved the way for further conquests on the Apennine Peninsula, literally and figuratively.
On March 15, 44 BCE, the Roman dictator Gaius Julius Caesar was murdered. A few days later, he was cremated in the Roman forum. Several ancient sources have survived about this event. One of them is the work of Suetonius.
