Europe From It's Origins - Constantine the Great - Episode 1

This series is Written and Produced by Joseph Hogarty:Check out his site for more info and to support. This opening episode asks the foundational question of the whole series: “Where did Europe come from?” The question itself historicizes the continent and its civilisation … Europe didn’t always exist, but it germinated within, and over a long period grew out of, a prior cultural realm – the Mediterranean world of Antiquity. Here we examine the period AD 300-390: The Roman Empire before Christianity, together with some brief impressions of what earliest Christianity was like and how it melded and itself was transformed, as it transformed the culture of the Roman Empire, that is, the ancient Mediterranean and the Near East. - See more at: http://www.europefromitsorigins.com/downloads/episode-1-ad-312-390/#sthash.T27brBcf.dpuf
