CONSTANTINE'S CHURCHES*
GREGORYT. ARMSTRONG

Vanderbilt Divinity School The churches of Constantine constitute documents of unusual importance for a cultural and historical interpretation of the first.Christian Roman emperor and his age. They are also instructive for the institutional and liturgical history of the church. Their number, location, size, design and decoration are all significant. This importance has been noted recently by several historians,' yet there exists, to my knowledge, no complete and up-to-date catalog of Constantine's churches. In 1693 Joannes Ciampini, in his De sacris aedificiis a Constantino magno constructis, recorded a total of 58 churches and baptisteries and two monasteries, but he obviously included many legendary attributions, some of which he himself questioned. Such moder writers as Finegan and Krautheimer provide descriptions of the major monuments,2 but they do not specifically seek to establish a comprehensive catalog. The same holds true for the specialized studies of Ludwig Voelkl as well as the biographies of Constantine. For this reason, the present study is directed simply at the establishment of a complete list of Constantine's church buildings. The problem of evidence is, of course, basic. There is literary evidence from ancient and medieval writers for most of the churches, and it is cited below. In some cases it is nearly contemporary, e.g., the Bordeaux Pilgrim and Eusebius;3 in others, it is 600 to 1000 years later, e.g. the Patria of Pseudo-Codinus and the Ecclesiastical History of Nicephorus Callistus. For the most part the testimony of writers later than the fifth and sixth-century historians, Socrates, Sozomen and Procopius is of little weight. The value of the Liber pontificalis derives from its incorporation of or dependence on documents contemporary to Constantine.4 Inscriptions are available for only a handful of churches, largely because so few of the buildings are extant, but these are cited when they exist. The archaeological evidence, which can establish dating by techniques of construction, brick stamps and the like, may be found in the modern publications listed." These same works should be consulted for plans, descriptions, reconstructions, illustrations, and art historical discussions of Constantine's churches, for these matters lie outside the focus of this article. Finally, a major caution in regard to evidence of all types is that it remains incomplete. By no means all possible sites of Constantinian churches have been excavated or excavated adequately. Nor has all the possible literary evidence been preserved. It can only be a 1 case of recording what is available for the establishment of this catalog. A second significant problem is that of what is meant by "Constantine's churches" or churches which Constantine "built." The catalog does not intend to include churches simply of Constantinian date, i.e., A.D. 312-337, but only those which received imperial patronage. Even here a distinction should be drawn between churches which were actually founded by Constantine's personal initiative and churches which were merely endowed or subsidized by the imperial fisc. Further distinctions may be drawn among the former group in respect to the degree of personal oversight and concern. Up to a point the available evidence permits us to make these distinctions, but it is likewise probable that after 312 or 313 in the West and 324 in the East almost every bishop would have sought imperial support for new buildings and that in nearly every case token support and perhaps more than token acknowledgment would have followed. We learn from Eusebius, for example, that general instructions for the restoration and enlargement of churches were issued by the emperor and that he built many unspecified churches, evidence which suggests a widespread practice of patronage.' A few such churches of certain early fourth century date are therefore included in this catalog. The arrangement of the catalog is geographical and chronological, the name of the city being followed by the name of the church and an approximate date. The categories include: A. Securely established attributions to Constantine as patron and/or founder; B. Attributions to the Constantinian dynasty; C. Probable recipients of imperial endowments in the time of Constantine; D. Possible attributions to Constantine which cannot yet be clarified; E. Uncertain and poorly attested attributions to Constantine. A considerable number of rejected attributions is listed summarily in two geographical groups at the end. Ciampini's work forms the foundation of the catalog in the sense that all of his buildings are included and classified, as well as several others apparently unknown to him. The churches at Rome are probably the best known group of Constantinian buildings and the ones most thoroughly studied. The Lateran basilica was the earliest of Constantine's churches, perhaps begun in 313 and finished in the early 320's, and it seems to have commanded the emperor's personal interest, having been established on imperial property. The Lateran baptistery would be nearly contemporary. The

basilica of St. Peter was begun twelve to twenty years later but was not completed until long after that. It is therefore impossible that Constantine did much more than initiate the building of this church. The small Constantinian basilica of St. Paul was contemporary to St. Peter's but was completed much sooner. The church or chapel of the Cross in the Sessorian Palace is now held to have been founded by Helena, the mother of Constantine, herself, although Eusebius does not record her discovery at Jerusalem of the True Cross which is associated with this building. A related group of Roman churches linked to Constantine and his family consists of the cemeterial churches. The oldest, (the basilica of Saints Marcellinus and Peter,) was endowed by the emperor and begun before 320. The mausoleum of Helena, adjacent to it was built during the 320's. The basilica of St. Lawrence appears to have been contemporary with St. Peter's and St. Paul's or ca. 326-330. The basilica of the Apostles on the Via Appia has been subject to a variety of datings, some very early, i.e., 312 or 313, others later, i.e., ca. 340. The latter seems most probable now, putting the church under Constans whose monogram has been discovered. Finally, the basilica of St. Agnes may be attributed to the daughter of Constantine, Constantina, together with the mausoleum named after her, and both were probably built in the 340's. The four basilicas of this group, as well as St. Peter's and St. Paul's, were graveyard churches with numerous tombs or graves in their floors and with mausolea about them. They arose out of the widespread desire of Christians to be buried near the graves of the martyrs which were below or adjacent to these churches. The Constantinian endowment of the Titulus Equitii in Rome must be considered poorly attested since Vielliard has shown that it was not included in the first edition of the Liber pontificalis. Nor is St. Chrysogonus Constantinian, although an early Titulus. The four churches in central Italy, Ostia, Albano, Capua and Naples, which the Liber pontificalis attributes to Constantine, remain as possibilities although the archaeological evidence is slight. Outside Italy the double basilica of Trier is now established as a foundation of Constantine although it was still unfinished when Athanasius visited it about 340. It was similar to the double basilica at Aquileia, the south hall of which has recently been attributed to Constantine on the basis of the floor mosaics. An imperial letter establishes that two churches at Cirta in Numidia were built at imperial expense, but the emperor himself had no direct role and could not be termed the initiator or founder of these buildings. Another African church, the basilica of St. Reparatus at Orleansville, which is positively dated to 324, may also have benefited from imperial patronage, but there 2

is no evidence on this question in the inscription. In the East there is the church at Tyre which probably received imperial endowment, but since it was consecrated in 318 before Constantine's defeat of Licinius, it could not have been founded by the emperor. The other churches in Palestine and Syria mentioned by Eusebius all seem to be securely established. The most famous are the church of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem and the church of the Nativity at Bethlehem. The latter was a joint foundation of Constantine and Helena. and both churches became the objects of pilgrimage at an early date. They are among the buildings in which the imperial interest was most direct and personal, and both seem to have undergone modification and received further decoration in the course of the fourth and fifth centuries. The Eleona church over a grotto on the Mount of Olives was contemporary with the Holy Sepulchre and is associated with Helena. It should not be confused with the Imbomon on the site of the Ascension. The churches at Mamre and Heliopolis in Pheonicia are of the same date and resulted, according to Eusebius, from the appeals of Eutropia to her son-in-law, Constantine, to purify these sites. The Octagon church of Antioch is well known from literary sources as a Constantinian foundation although completed and dedicated under Constantius. As one approaches the vicinity of Constantinople, the identifications become more problematical. For the basilica of the Saviour in Nicomedia, also called the Victory basilica, there is only the literary evidence of Eusebius and in turn Sozomen, but it is unchallenged and highly probable. In Constantinople itself, an enlarged church of Hagia Eirene can be attributed to Constantine, and he probably began or at least planned the first church of Hagia Sophia as part of the same complex adjacent to the palace. The latter, like several other buildings, was completed under Constantius who may have had the larger role in it. That Constantine founded the church of the Holy Apostles still seems the most likely conclusion from Eusebius, but Constantius would have built the mausoleum around 359 and probably brought the church proper to completion as well. The reader should be aware, however, that no other attribution has been so much debated in recent literature. Of other churches in Constantinople, at least one church of St. Acacius and one of the Archangel Michael should be attributed to Constantine himself. In my judgment, the church of St. Acacius in Heptascalon and the church of the Archangel Michael at Anaplus are most likely to have been the Constantinian buildings. St. Acacius in Karya and Michael at Sosthenium remain as possibilities if one will allow that Constantine could found as many or more churches in New Rome as in Old. These and other possible attributions

St. Mocius, St. Menas and St. Agathonicus - could just as well belong to Constantius, who was a builder in his own right. In any case they must be considered fourth century edifices. The church of Hagia Dynamis, however, is quite uncertain even as a fourth century building and escapes total rejection only because of its traditional place in the pattern of divine qualities represented by Hagia Eirene and Hagia Sophia. There remain two other possible attributions. One is the memorial chapel over the grave of St. John in Ephesus which seems to have been contemporary with Constantine. The other is the shrine of St. Menas in Egypt where the crypt church goes back to the time of Athanasius and thus possibly to Constantine. We know that later emperors such as Arcadius and Zeno were patrons of the shrine. Beyond these hints, however, no one can as yet penetrate. There are twenty-three church buildings which may with reasonable confidence be attributed to Constantine as patron or founder, together with several others which may be considered live possibilities. More study of these buildings may be anticipated, and the publication of the plans, on a common scale, for the extant monuments or remains is a desideratum. Yet the reputation of Constantine as a builder of churches is secure.

In addition, Krautheimer has dealt with our topic in two papers, one, "Die Kirchengruendungen Konstantins," read at the Seventh Congress for Christian Archaeology in Trier, September, 1965, which will be published in the Acts of the Congress, and the other, "The Constantinian Basilica," read at the Dumbarton Oaks Symposium on the Age of Constantine in Washington, May, 1966. These papers discuss several important aspects of Constantine's church buildings but do not aim at presenting a catalog of churches. I wish to acknowledge several helpful suggestions received in correspondence and conversation with Professor Krautheimer. 3. On the authenticity of Rusebius' Vita Constantini, the most important discussions appear to be: Henri Gr6goire, "Eusebe n'est pas l'auteur de la 'Vita Constantini dans sa forme actuelle et Constantin ne s'est pas 'converti' en 312," Byzantion, XIII (1938), 561-583: Jacques Moreau, "Zum Problem der Vita Constantini," Historia: Zeitschrift fuer alte Geschichte, IV (1955), 234-245; Friedrich Vittinghoff, "Eusebius als Verfasser der 'Vita Constantini,'" Rheinisches Museum fuer Philologie, N.S., XCVI (1953), 330-373; Ludwig Voelkl, "Die konstantinischen Kirchenbauten nach Eusebius," R.A.C., XXIX (1953), 49-66, 187-206; Friedhelm Winkelmann, "Zur Geschichte des Authentizititaetsproblem der Vita Constantini," Klio: Beitrae,e zur alten Geschichte, XL (1962), 187-243. I share the positive judgment toward Eusebius as a source which now prevails, especially in respect to the church buildings. 4. See the introduction by Duchesne, Liher pontif., 1, cxlicliv, clxi, and the introduction in The Book of the Popes, 1, trans. and ed. Louise Ropes Loomis (New York, 1916). xvii, xviii. Cf. also .udwig Voelkl, "Die konstantinischen Kirchenbauten nach den literarischen Quellen des Okzidents," R.A.C., XXX (1954), 99-136. Again I share the positive judgment toward the evidence of the Liher Pontif. on Constantine's churches, subject always to archaeological confirmation where possible. 5. Encyclopedia and dictionary articles are, however, not included. They are for the most part self-evident and easily accessible. 6. Eusebius, Vita, ii.46; iii.48, 50.
