520 |a The present paper explores the ways in which the social memory of the mother of Constantine the Great was reconstructed, judged, and appreciated between the late fourth and ninth centuries, in an effort either to qualify or challenge commonly held perceptions of her.

The portrayals of Helena involve their own paradoxical and subversive qualities.
