**The Battle of Milvian Bridge, in which the Emperor Constantine defeated his enemies and became the undisputed Roman Emperor, has always been seen as crucial in the triumph of monotheism across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. At least by the end his reign, it was believed that at the battle Constantine’s troops were identified with a Christian cross or ChiRho (“In this sign, you will conquer”). While he was not baptised a Christian until his death-bed and did not make Christianity the State religion – his Edict of Milan ensured toleration for all religions. Constantine was born in Naissus (modern Niš in Serbia); his father was a native of Dardania (roughly corresponding to modern Kosovo). He transferred the Roman capital to the Balkans (Byzantium). It therefore seems fitting that his achievement be celebrated in the Balkans in the spirit of the Edict of Milan. The conference of historians in Prishtina will consider the historical significance of Constantine’s legacy.
