I own some of Grant's work specifically on the Greeks and on Pompeii he seems to be a good source on the matters, however I understood from this book he hasn't as sympathetic in approach to the subject in this book The Man Himself Constantine The Great, he quotes both Sympathetic and Hostile writers on the Man that is both Christian Sources(Eusebius) and Pagan writers of the period, but I feel in his tone you can tell he is not a fan Of Constantine so while states he is trying to state a more nuanced picture that is one less biased or neither for or against I believe he sadly fails in doing so. The great about the book besides it's Subject the Man Himself and His accomplishments is the author despite his disdain for Him presents both sides of the coin so to speak and concludes the book the same as he started that seeing the information on him is either for or against there is not much we Know about him.
