0:00.0	The following is an encore presentation of Everything Everywhere Daily.
0:04.0	In the year 312, two claimants to the Roman Imperial Throne met outside the walls of Rome near a bridge that cross the Tyber River.
0:14.4	The subsequent battle that followed was not that much different than many other Roman battles
0:18.0	which had been fought over the centuries.
0:20.0	However, the implications of that battle have had long-reaching ramifications that have shaped the world for the past 1,700 years.
0:27.0	Learn more about the Battle of the Milvian Bridge and how it changed the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. When looking back at world history there are great battles and there are important battles. And not all great
0:55.4	battles are important and not all important battles are great. The Battle of Canney, which I did a previous
1:01.1	episode, was a great battle.
1:03.2	Hannibal and the Carthaginians defeated the Romans in one of the most lopsided victories

1:27.5	extremely important. To understand the Battle of the Milvian Bridge you have to
1:31.6	understand what was happening in the Roman
1:33.2	Empire in the early fourth century. During the third century the Roman Empire
1:37.9	was a mess. The assassination of Emperor Severus Alexander in 235 ushered in a 50-year period of anarchy known as the
1:45.1	crisis of the third century. There were civil wars, rebellions, uprising, and
1:49.4	barbarian invasions and no fewer than 26 men claimed the imperial throne during this period.
1:55.5	It finally ended with the rise of Emperor Diocletian.
