| Figure EUR-ita-077. Alexei Alexeev and the south-east view of the Basilica di Santa Pudenziana (Basilica of Santa Pudenziana), extensively decorated with the Early Christian mosaics. It is recognized as the oldest extant place of Christian worship in Rome, built over a private house, probably during the pontificate of Pope Pius I (p. 140-155 AD). This church was the residence of the Pope until, in 313 AD, the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great (r. 306-337 AD) offered the Lateran Palace instead. |
