Description
Summary:This article deals with the problem of the imperial intervention of the emperor Constantine in Church matters and proposes a reconsideration of the active measures that he takes to favour the Christian Church. The paper presents a wider scope of the sources: on the one hand it re-examines the Christian ones, but above all, it adds others that, although they are temporally further away from Constantine, give a more complete approach of the role of the Roman emperor as head of the Empire and the specific functions he had to fulfil as pontifex maximus . The first part of the article covers the personal and institutional background of the emperor -that will help to situate him in his particular circumstances- and the second one re-evaluates specific and paradigmatic examples of the problem under consideration.
Este trabajo aborda el problema del intervencionismo del emperador Constantino en asuntos eclesiales y se propone reconsiderar las medidas que el emperador toma respecto del cristianismo. El paper presenta un alcance más amplio de las fuentes: por un lado re-examina las cristianas, pero sobre todo añade otras que, aunque están temporalmente más alejadas de Constantino, entregan una aproximación más completa del papel que juega el emperador romano como cabeza del Imperio y las funciones específicas que debía cumplir como pontifex maximus . La primera parte del artículo trata del contexto personal e institucional del emperador -que ayuda a situarlo en sus circunstancias particulares- y la segunda re-evalúa algunos ejemplos específicos y paradigmáticos del problema bajo revisión.
