Untitled
[edit]There is no mention of an actual date of when the structure was finished. I would assume mid to late 4th century, but the exact date (or accepted estimation) should be found. 70.181.84.243 04:46, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Constantine reigned after his death?
[edit]Construction began during the reign of Emperor Constantine I around 350 AD.
According to the Wikipedia article on Constantine I, he died 337. 69.42.3.105 (talk) 00:52, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Architecture
[edit]There are two points made here, 1. that it is a domed structure with an ambulatory 2. that the centre part is light and the ambulatory dark Each of these two things is said at least three times.
I ant to rewrite this section. Amandajm (talk) 09:18, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
Chronology Issues
[edit]There are serious issues with dates in this article. In the beginning, it says the building is dated to the reign of Julian (360-363 AD). Later, it says it is dated to 350 AD. A date during Julian's reign would GREATLY change the building's purpose and significance, as Julian was a very pagan emperor who would not have built a Christian structure. This should be clarified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.255.2.36 (talk) 06:51, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
--A good point, but it is not as controversial as it seems. Julian's wife, Helena, was a staunch Christian. Julian did esteem his wife and would have had zero issues building a church for her, as she probably requested it. Julian did not like his cousin Constantius II, but still buried him with a proper Christian burial in the Church of the Holy Apostles.
