Constantine

was a mocker
rather than a flatterer.
From this he was called

"Bullneck"

For ten years
a most excellent man;

For the following second ten
a brigand;

For the last,
on account of his
unrestrained prodigality,
a ward irresponsible
for his own actions.

History has proven that. All power corrupts; Absolute power corrupts absolutely"
