| Figure EUR-ita-070. Alexei Alexeev and the west view of the Mausoleo di Santa Costanza (Mausoleum of Santa Costanza), extensively decorated with the pagan and Early Christian mosaics. Most likely, it was built either by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great (r. 306-337 AD) as a mausoleum for his eldest daughter Constantina (also known as Constantia, Constantiana or Costanza, died in 354 AD), or by the Emperor Julian the Apostate (r. 355-363 AD) for his wife, Helena (also a daughter of Constantine the Great), who died in 360 AD. |
