Year 312 (CCCXII) was a leap year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Constantinus and Licinianus (or, less frequently, year 1065 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 312 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

Religion

  • Constantine I adopts the words "in hoc signo vinces" as a motto and has the letters X and P (the first letters of the Greek word Christ) emblazoned on the shields of his soldiers.
  • The Council of Carthage supports Donatism, which espouses a rigorous application and interpretation of the sacraments. These doctrines will be condemned by the Council of Arles (314).
  • Constantine I promotes a policy of state sponsorship of Christianity, perhaps even becoming a Christian himself (see Constantine the Great and Christianity).

gollark: macronfmt downloads a config file from osmarks.net containing the current format options, actually.
gollark: The obviously better approach is to store all Macron code on disk as efficiently serialized ASTs, and offer a FUSE filesystem or editor plugin to render it to text.
gollark: It ties you to extra tooling for macronoforms.
gollark: Your "solution" of adjusting stuff on VCS hooks is insane and apious.
gollark: And DO NOT mandate a VCS.
