estimated general in history? I know that Constantine never lost a single war, but did he ever lose a battle? I cant find a single time that he was ever defeated in battle.

Why isent he the best or 1 of the best generals in history? He defeated the Roman imperial army many times, despite being outnumbered almost all the time. He defeated the Germans, the people that once destroyed 3 roman legions. He defeated the Visigoths who would bring the fall of Rome.

Shouldnt he be ranked up their with Alexander, Napoleon, Hannibal? Since he was never defeated he should be ranked next to Alexander, shouldnt he?
 
Do you realize there were no Germans during the time of Constantine, and that the Visigoths are East Germanic people, that is why they are called "visi". and that barbarians did not invade Rome, the client clans of Goths, visigoths, vandals, and Celts, took over as they moved through 2-3 generations of marrying into Roman society which caused their children to be Roman citizens and so eligible for office, and since Constantine was Constantius(Father)heir apparent and Constantius was a Caesar, and later so was Constantine, weren't his troops part of the Roman army, even though he was Dacian, his troops were under Roman authority and so was he until the Tetrachic rule crumbled. He still can't hold a candle to Alexander.
