Annotations

Santa Costanza is a 4th-century church in Rome, Italy, on the Via Nomentana. According to the tradition, Santa Costanza was built during the reign of Constantine I as a mausoleum for his daughter Constantina, later also known as Constantia or Costanza, who died in AD 354.

Santa Costanza is een kerk in Rome die gebouwd werd door de Romeinse keizer Constantijn de Grote in de eerste helft van de vierde eeuw. Het gebouw diende in eerste instantie als mausoleum voor Constantijns dochters Constantina en Helena. Later werd Constantina tot heilige verklaard en kreeg ze de Italiaanse naam Constanza en werd de kerk aan haar gewijd1.
