«Invictus. Costantino, l'imperatore guerriero» is the historical novel by Simone Sarasso, published by Rizzoli in paperback (587 pages, in Italian).
On the brink of death, Constantine unfolds his memories before Bishop Eusebius: his gruelling training in the East under Galerius, his rise as a legion commander, the campaigns in the mud and the showdown with Diocletian, already under the influence of Christianity. Between court and taverns, between popular cults and passions, the young man raised far from his father pursues conquest until he eliminates all his rivals and unifies the Empire at an enormous cost.
This is the first edition, published in 2012 in the Rizzoli Max collection.
A read for fans of historical fiction set in the Roman Empire and of fictionalised portraits of emperors.
