Constantine, buried at the centre of the memorial steles of the Apostles in Constantinople, is an example of continuity between the relatio in numerum divorum of the Emperors and the santification of a Christian emperor. However, the substantial difference between the institutions of deification and sanctification emerged over the course of a few decades and was denounced by both John Chrysostom and the Chronicon of St Jerome. Nevertheless, during the same period, St Ambrose found a different and stronger doctrinal foundation to confirm Constantine’s sainthood in making him the guarantor of the Nicene Creed.

Abstract
Constantine, buried at the centre of the memorial steles of the Apostles in Constantinople, is an example of continuity between the relatio in numerum divorum of the Emperors and the santification of a Christian emperor. However, the substantial difference between the institutions of deification and sanctification emerged over the course of a few decades and was denounced by both John Chrysostom and the Chronicon of St Jerome. Nevertheless, during the same period, St Ambrose found a different and stronger doctrinal foundation to confirm Constantine’s sainthood in making him the guarantor of the Nicene Creed.File in questo prodotto:
