There are some big things in Rome. There are some especially big churches in Rome. Constantine’s Basilica may not be the most well known church in all of Rome but it can hold a candle to any of them in terms of sheer size. The problem with Constantines Basilica is that its only a ruins now, all that remain are a few arches where the giant collosi would have been. Despite this its still awe inspiring standing next to and looking up the giant columns holding up the few remaining ruins. This basilica has a lot more meaning than being a huge building however. This building represents the transition of the Roman empire from a polytheistic state to a centerpiece for Christianity. Emperor Constantine was the one who legalized Christianity and later made it the official religion of the empire, and so played an absolutely massive part in the popularization of Christianity. This would change the course of the lives of the citizens of Rome forever. No longer would they make sacrifices to the many gods in order to appease them and no longer would the great temples they had built bear the meaning they once did. This represented a transition in the life of every single Roman in the city and so represents a huge part of a roman citizens life.
