[edit] Ethnic background (sigh...)
Well, actually I'm with Albanau on this one. For three reasons:
- The anonymous essay linked to as a reference for the Greek-origins claim is not a reliable source.
- The source doesn't make clear whether it (or its sources in turn) use "Greek" in the cultural sense ('someone from the eastern half of the empire, with Greek education') or in the ethnic sense ('someone with Greek - as opposed to Thracian, Illyrian, whatever - as a native language'). We know his family was geographically from Illyria, don't we?
- Textually, the sentence didn't make much sense at that particular point of the article. Sounded as if the following claim (father of Constantine I) was on the same level of "belief". Fut.Perf. ☼ 12:04, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Source
We need a source for his first wife finding the cross. If I remember correctly, it wasn't his wife, but mother. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.249.27.77 (talk) 06:38, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
