Emperor Constantine ruled the Roman Empire from 280 (AD) century to 337 (AD) century.
He was the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity and moved the Roman capital to Constantinople by building a new city.
The people wrote to Emperor Constantine asking him to allow them to celebrate a festival that they were observing in their own place, as they had to travel a long way to celebrate it.
In response, the emperor asked the people to build a place of worship for him in memory of his ancestor.
This reply letter is recorded in history as “Rescript”.
A team led by history professor Douglas Boin from Saint Louis University of Missouri (Missouri), USA, engaged in excavations in Italy.
The re-script was carefully studied. Boyne, conducted a long research.
As a result, Constantine’s townspeople built a shrine to the emperor’s ancestors, which has now been discovered in research.
About 160 kilometers from Rome, the Italian capital, in the small hill town of Spello, below a parking lot, is Pera. In the research conducted by Boyne’s team, they discovered this ancient place of worship that dates back to 1600 years ago.
The Spello shrine ranks among the many ancient landmarks in Italy that show centuries of ancient civilization. Boyne said.
The research team, which has now discovered 3 enclosures, will resume its research after the summer vacation.
