| Σύνοψη: | In Byzantium and in the Latin West the theological and political legacy of Constantine the Great was particularly heavy from the very beginning, in relation to the earlier religious images and principally to the new iconic figural and non-figural symbols of the Christian salvation. Between the 5th and the 6th centuries, the papal and orthodox use of Constantine's image found a first expression in the most ancient Latin version of pope Sylvester's legend (Actus Silvestri). Shortly afterwards the hagiographical nucleus of this legend became part of pope Sylvester's biography, with which begins the Liber Pontificalis of the Roman Church, indeed one of the principal sources for the spread of the legendary account of Constantine's baptism and the image of Constantine as generous benefactor of the papacy. These themes nourished the hagiographical and theological-political imagery of the Christian West for more than a millennium. Between the 8th and the 9th centuries and then from the 11th century onwards, they gave rise to the Roman bishopric's various claims of a universal primacy confirmed by law, already expressed in the Constitutum Constantini and the pseudo-Isidorian Decretales. |
