Constantine's Vision:

Accordingly, the Ancient Roman emperor Constantine (280 - 337 AD) called on him with earnest prayer to reveal to him who he was and stretch forth his right hand to help him in his present difficulties. 

And while he was thus praying with fervent entreaty, a most extraordinary sign appeared to him from heaven, something which it might have been hard to believe had the story been told by any other person. 

But since the victorious emperor himself long afterward declared it to the writer of this history, when he was honored with his acquaintance and society, and confirmed his statement by an oath, who could hesitate to believe it, especially since other testimonies have established its truth? 

He said that about noon, when the day was already beginning to decline, he saw with his own eyes the sign of a cross of light in the heavens, above the sun, and bearing the inscription, “By this symbol you will conquer.” He was struck with amazement by the sight, and his whole army witnessed the miracle.

He said that he was unsure what this apparition could mean, but that while he continued to ponder, night suddenly came on. In his sleep, the Christ of God appeared to him with the same sign which he had seen in the heavens and commanded him to make a likeness of that sign which he had seen in the heavens and to use it as a safeguard in all engagements with his enemies.

And that story was simply the very beginning of the Christian era for the Ancient Roman Empire.

The Vision of Constantine:

The Vision of Constantine is an equestrian sculpture by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, located in the Scala Regia by St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.
