It is an example of a rare occurance in art history world when you can laugh your ass off :)))) I almost fell of my chair after hearing that Calixtus Catacombes would serve great as a Dungeons and Dragons map :D
lol I would love a Chibi Constantine! Just to let you know, Professor, Japan have many Manga dedicated to Roman history (although most of them arent translated). There's Comedy manga name Thermae Romae that features a Roman Bathhouse Architect who time traveled to Modern Japan and bring back ideas. While it's a funny manga, it's full of historical detail and it set during Hadrian's era (which he is featured in) The mangaka herself is a Roman enthusiast, married and living in Italy .
Is it really so that right off there is a movement towards round buildings in the East and Basilicas in the West? Isn't so that the first churches in Constantinople were basilicas? Isn't it rather that only after a while with the development of the cross-in-a-circle church that the East goes on another path (Kreuzkuppelkirche)?
Man... all this knowledge... for free... I can't thank you enough for this

Thank you for this. I've been sick for weeks and missed a lot of my Art History class and these are extremely helpful.

what were paganism called before christians creating the term "paganism"? just "religions"?
Paganism is a catch all term, it includes every single person who worships gods that aren't the Triune Christian God (Jews not included)
“Pius”.
