What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "If any Jew has purchased and circumcised a Christian slave or one of any other sect than his own, he shall not keep the circumcised slave in servitude, but the man who has suffered this outrage shall be granted the rights of liberty." in the context of "page 30 of volume 30 of University of Kansas Publications: Humanistic studies entitled "Persecution of the Jews in the Roman Empire" (see also translation below)" to mean that wisdom is timeless.

About Constantine the Great

Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus (c. 27 February 272 – 22 May 337), commonly known as Constantine I, Constantine the Great, or Saint Constantine, was Roman Emperor from 306 to 337. Well known for being the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity, Constantine reversed the persecutions of his predecessor, Diocletian, and issued the Edict of Milan in 313, which proclaimed religious liberty throughout the empire.
