Document Summary
Crucifixion was meant to be a form of punishment for the lower classes, to degrade them even more, to shame them. Crucifixion usually downplayed the horror and focused on the triumph of jc on the cross: vasari believes that christianity ruined classical art, constantine moved to greece, to the city of byzantium, and founded. Constantinople: the hagia sophia was built by justinian after many of constantine"s churches collapsed. The building is dedicated to sophia as in the wisdom of god, so to that abstract concept instead of an actual st. sophia: roman christianity had two basic building formats: the basilica, adapted for many. Christian churches, and the centralized structure, a building with a focal point on a central spot. The hagia sophia is a compound of these two building formats, as it is both centralized and long. It is both at the same time: obvious comparison: the roman pantheon, built by hadrian in 126.
