Si presentano alcuni esempi iconografici e letterari relativi alla sacralità e all’alone religioso con cui si volle circonfondere l’immagine del senato di Costantinopoli. La solennizzazione religiosa dell’istituzione e, di riflesso, dei suoi componenti e della sua duplice sede, presso il Foro di Costantino e presso il Gran Palazzo, avvenne nelle forme di un paganesimo “laico”, l’unico disponibile anche per le cerimonie di fondazione della città.
Some iconographic and literary examples are here offered about the sacredness and religious halo surrounding the image of the Senate of Constantinople. The religious solemnization of the institution and, as a consequence, of its members and of its dual headquarters, at the Forum of Constantine and near the Great Palace, was in the forms of a " secular" paganism, the only one available also for the ceremonies which accompanied the foundation of the city.
