While the tactics also deserve mention
Just one part of this fight gets attention
Though the details aren’t clear
This is all that you’ll hear:
“Constantine’s win? Divine intervention”
Event: Constantine has his “vision” before winning the Battle of the Milvian Bridge
Year: 312

This is more like a quiz, since you never mention the Milvian Bridge and “in hoc signo vinces.” (The latter an especially tough rhyme in the limerick’s metrical scheme.)
I’ve actually been to the Milvian Bridge. There was an extensive description of the various versions of the bridge that have been there at different points in history, but nothing (that I could find) about the battle.
