Subject Description

This subject studies the origins of the art, archaeology and architecture of early Christianity and the impact of Constantine on Christian beliefs and their various expressions in the 4th and 5th centuries. Students should develop an understanding of the ways the emerging dogmatic consensus expressed itself in architecture, art and archaeological artefact. In the process students should be able to trace the final transformation of Christianity from Jewish sectarian movement into a profoundly hellenised state religion.
