Description

This dissertation is an examination of the Emperor Constantine's religious building program as presented in the writings of Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea. I seek to redescribe the range of Constantine's construction and destruction activities in a way that addresses some limitations in previous scholarship. Historians since Eusebius have struggled to apply a consistent explanatory framework to his seemingly contradictory religious policies and beliefs. Much of the emperor's own writing suggests that he was a sincere Christian, and yet he allowed the repair and construction of several "Pagan" temples in Rome and prominently displayed "Pagan" bronze statuary in his new eponymous capital. According to Eusebius, he also ordered the destruction of five temples in the eastern half of the empire, and confiscated the property of Donatist churches in North Africa. In addition, he had large and lavish basilicas built to honor the Christian god in cities and towns across his territory.
