Resumo

In this article, we aim at discussing how the emperor Constantine conceives his own political acts. In order to do that, we analyze the Oration to the assembly of the saints uttered in 325 A.D. in Antioch during the Good Friday, soon after the defeat of Licinius. So, we reflect on the political meaning of the speaking and how Constantine presents himself as a blessed victor responsible for the death of Licinius, named the last enemy of the Christian Church. Secondly, we analyze the OC as a speaking about the telos of the History according to the Christian view.KEY WORDS: Constantine, later roman empire, easter, history, OC.
