Constantine: A Tragedy is a play written by Philip Francis in 1754. The play is set in ancient Rome and follows the story of Constantine, the first Christian emperor of Rome. The play explores the themes of power, religion, and the struggle between faith and reason. It begins with Constantine's rise to power and his conversion to Christianity. As he tries to reconcile his newfound faith with his duties as emperor, he faces opposition from his advisors and the Roman people who are resistant to change. The play culminates in a tragic ending as Constantine is forced to make a difficult decision that ultimately leads to his downfall. The play is written in iambic pentameter and is divided into five acts.
