Chapter LIII.—Having reigned about Thirty-Two Years, and lived
above Sixty, he still had a Sound Body.
He completed the time of his reign in two and thirty years, wanting a
few months and days,3351
| 3351 [In his Chronicon, Eusebius gives the more correct period
of thirty years and ten months. Constantine’s reign began a.d. 306, and his death took place a.d. 337.—Bag.] Compare Prolegomena, also
Clinton, Fasti Rom. an. 337. | and his whole
life extended to about twice that period. At this age he still
possessed a sound and vigorous body, free from all blemish, and of more
than youthful vivacity; a noble mien, and strength equal to any
exertion; so that he was able to join in martial exercises, to ride,
endure the fatigues of travel, engage in battle, and erect trophies
over his conquered enemies, besides gaining those bloodless victories
by which he was wont to triumph over those who opposed him.3352
