Klappentext zu „Sacred Founders “
Sacred Founders argues that from the time of Augustus through early Byzantium, a discourse of "sacred founders" - articulated in artwork, literature, imperial honors, and the built environment - helped legitimate the authority of the emperor and his family. The central idea around which the discourse coalesced is that imperial men and women were sacred founders of the land, mirror images of the empires divine founders. By establishing a new capital for the Roman Empire, Constantine and his formidable mother, Helena, initiated the Christian transformation of this discourse. 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.
