Panegyric XII from the Collection of Panegyrici Latini tells about Constantine’s Italian campaign and the seizure of Rome by him in 312. These events brought large political changes in the Roman Empire, but they are also related to the adoption of Christianity by Constantine. Therefore, the author of the speech must talk about religious matters in such a way to meet the expectations of both the Emperor and the other listeners. So he uses very syncretic language, creating a very capacious image of god, with which both Christians and pagans can identify.
