Why is the Factbook entry on the Battle of The Milvian Bridge listed as a concept? I have searched for it in Logos and only found 3 entries. This is my search term. "Battle of The Milvian Bridge"
Because all the words automatically gleaned via a computer algorithm were originally added as concepts and are moved to the appropriate classification when additional editing/data is added to the entry.
found 3 entries.
Christian, as search advice, especially on Logos, first search for the most unique word. In this case 'Milvian'. This allows the possible combinations (battle, event, disaster, success, etc). Then, if too many results, narrow down (eg Milvian Bridge). Only when the results are overwhelming, do you typically do a quoted set of words. Most often, when limited success, I use something like battle NEAR Constantine or similar (to catch a non-named location).
The reason is Google (as an example) does this logic for you. But the Logos search is more a 'take orders' type of search (which is often good, in an academic environment).
DMB that advice really helped. I like to think of Google and Logos to use the same search syntax. I heard it said that Eusebius of Caesarea recounts that Constantine and his soldiers had a vision sent by God. I cannot find that in his Church History. Can you help?
It's in Eusebius' Life of Constantine, chap 28 and thereafter.
BTW Milvian Bridge is also known in Eusebius as the Bridge of the Tiber.
