Artwork, literature, imperial honors, and the built environment comprised the statements in this multi-authored, empire-wide discourse. These statements were bound by the idea that imperial men and women were sacred founders of the land, mirror images of the empire's divine founders. By establishing a new capital for the Roman Empire, Constantine and his formidable mother, Helena, initiated its Christian transformation. Over time this transformation empowered imperial women, transformed the cult of the Virgin Mary, fueled contests between church and state, and provoked an arresting synthesis of imperial and Christian art. With balanced analysis, Angelova presents a fresh argument about the symbolic logic of Roman rule and uncovers forgotten legacies that profoundly shaped the Christian era"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aImperialism$xReligious aspects 606 $aImperialism$xSocial aspects 606 $aEmpresses$xReligious life 607 $aRome$xHistory$yEmpire, 30 B.C.-476 A.D 610 $aancient roman empire. 610 $aancient rome. 610 $aancient world. 610 $aantiquity. 610 $aart history. 610 $aartwork. 610 $aaugustus. 610 $aauthority. 610 $abuild environment. 610 $achristian art. 610 $achristian transformation. 610 $achristianity. 610 $achurch and state. 610 $aconstantine. 610 $adivine founders. 610 $aearly byzantium empire. 610 $aearly christian art. 610 $aemperor augustus. 610 $aemperor constantine. 610 $aemperor. 610 $afemale imperial power. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aimperial art. 610 $aimperial honors. 610 $aliterature. 610 $amedieval world. 610 $amyth of origins. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious studies. 610 $aroman empire. 610 $asacred founders. 610 $avirgin mary. 615 0$aImperialism$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aImperialism$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aEmpresses$xReligious life. 676 $a937.009/9 700 $aAngelova$b Diliana$f1968-$01720199 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818709203321 996 $aSacred founders$94118654 997 $aUNINA
