Contents
Building a Titulus-Basilica in late antique Rome -- Christian basilicas and baths -- Striving for attention -- The Tituli of Equitius and Sylvester in the subura -- Some other 4th-7th century intramural Christian basilicas in their urban context.
Summary
This book is the first to closely examine the location of the earliest purpose-built Christian buildings inside the city of Rome in their contemporary context. It argues that some of these were deliberately sited by their builders so as to utilise prominent positions within the urban landscape or to pragmatically reuse pre-existing bath facilities for Christian liturgical practice. Several examples are discussed with the latest archaeological discoveries explored.--Provided by publisher.
