| Constantine entrusted 50 Knights chosen from his cohort with the custody of the labarum. |
| The labarum, which was the imperial standard of later emperors, resembled in shape and fixing the vexillum. |
| Constantine and his Franks marched under the standard of the labarum, and both sides saw the battle in religious terms. |
| The safety of the labarum was entrusted to fifty guards of approved valour and fidelity. |
| He received it, notwithstanding the labarum, and received further the title of Pontifex Maximus, which he retained all his life. |
| The labarum was a purely military flag, and definitely not a flag for the church. |
