  • Summary

    This paper concentrates on the representation of the Constantinian Basilica in the Liber pontificalis and determines its role in the text and in the representation of the pope.The sections considered range from the foundation of the Basilica in Life 34 (Pope Silvester I) to the significance of the Basilica for Pope Stephen V in Life 112.One oddity about the Liber pontificalis is that it never refers to the Constantinian basilica as dedicated to St John. That information is supplied in liturgical books such as the Sacramentaries and Lectionaries extant in Frankish manuscripts. This prompts a reflection on the Constantinian Basilicaߣs liturgical role within Rome that casts further light on the possible implications and peculiarities of the Basilicaߣs representation in the Liber ponificalis itself.
