Rome (Roma), Lazio (Latium), Italy |
In 520, Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius (Boethius) (b. abt.480 d.524/5) was working to revitalize the relationship between the Church in Rome and the Church in Constantinople. He was imprisoned and eventually executed in 524 by King Theodoric the Great.
While imprisoned he wrote Consolation of Philosophy, arguing that despite the apparent inequality of the world, there is, in Platonic fashion, a higher power and everything else is secondary to that divine Providence. |

The Basilica of Sant' Apollinare Nuovo, Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy |
This Arian church, originally dedicated to Christ the Redeemer was erected by the Ostrogoth King Theodoric as his palace chapel, during the first quarter of the 6th century.
It contains a mosaic which may be the earliest depiction of Christ (view here Jesus of Zazareth).
The Basilica was reconsecrated in 561, under the rule of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I under the new name "Sanctus Martinus in Coelo Aureo" (Saint Martin in Golden Heaven). |
