As we all know, Maxentius marched out at Rome to give battle against Constantine with a 2:1 advantage at a Pontoon Bridge where the Milvian bridge had been before Maxentius destroyed it. Constantine won and Maxentius drowned in the Tiber in his retreat.
So what if, as Maxentius orders the retreat across the bridge, a lucky arrow or javelin or spear or sword, finds its way into Constantine's body, and he does shortly after. Maxentius still drowns in the Tiber, and the battle is technically a victory for Constantine though he's not alive to enjoy it.
What happens next? Does Licinius patch up an agreement where he rules the west and maximinus Dia the east? Would Licinius finish off Maximinus Dia and rule the whole empire himself? Discuss!
