	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Bridle of Constantine
		Legend holds that after Constantine was proclaimed Caesar then Emperor, he ordered that all honor be paid to his mother, Flavia Iulia Helena to make up for the neglect paid her by her former husband, Constantius Chlorus.
		The bridle of Constantine, for instance, is believed to be identical with a relic of this form which for several centuries has been preserved at Carpentras, but there is another claimant of the same kind at Milan.
		Constantine's trust in his friends and generosity to the unworthy, with its consequences on the tax-payers, reminds strikingly of some of our own soldier-presidents, whom we love and admire without approving all their acts.
