The battle was fought over who would be the next Roman Emperor after Diocletian stepped down.
Flavius Valerius Constantinus later known as Constantine the Great fought against his brother-in-law, Maxentius. Supposedly, Constantine had a vision of Christ telling Constantine to use the symbol of the cross on his men's armor.

∙ 13y agoConstantine supposedly saw the sign of the cross in the sky, and the words "in hoc signe vinces," or "in this sign you will conquer," and put crosses on the shields of all his soldiers, and later converted to Christianity.
Some say the sign happened in a dream/vision, where God spoke with him, and then he saw the sign of the Chi Rho, which looks similar to a P, crossed by an X.
