## Resource

The Age of Constantine bridged the Classical World and the world of Late Antiquity. This era has a reputation for being economically troubled, but the reality is far more complicated. This episode ruminates on the defining features of Constantine's economy, with special focus on agriculture, urbanization, money, government finances and the growing economic power of the Christian church.
