The oration presented in this volume is critical to our knowledge of Constantine's early career and covers Maximian's rebellion, Constantine's claim of descent from Claudius II and his vision of Apollo. Written in AD 310, two years before Constantine's capture of Rome and his acceptance of Christianity, the speech gives a unique insight into the evolution of an imperial persona. This commentary examines the literary context of the panegyric and the role of the classical literary and rhetorical tradition in the recreation of Constantine's image. From the outset, the orator praises Constantine as separate from the imperial college: a deus praesens, god manifest, to the people of Gaul. He uses Lucan and Caesar to link Maximian's bid for power with the civil war between Caesar and Pompey while Vergilian allusion associates Constantine with Augustus.

This is the first monograph in English on the Panegyrici Latini, and the first in any language dedicated to the five speeches of praise from 289-307. The study considers how the orators justified, accommodated, and projected these changes and related them to the local concerns of the people of Northern Gaul. Detailed analyses of the speeches highlight the literary flair and diplomatic acumen their orators required.
