State Construction Programme

"Raise that beam higher! Up, to the heavens!"

Construction programmes of great magnitude marked Roman civilisation as surely as their conquests across Europe did. Patronage from Emperors resulted in buildings being erected for the arts and religion. In late antiquity, they mainly arose from Roman Christianity, and the transformation of Constantinople into an 'invincible' Roman capital. Over the course of many Emperors, the walls of the city were expanded and reinforced until finally consisting of an outer wall, an inner wall and numerous internal fortifications, all bristling with defences. The walls of Constantinople constituted one of the greatest defensive works of the time, and the last great fortification of antiquity. The monuments, defensive fortifications, and other city constructions were financed by a combination of state money and local funds, as administration of each zone was the responsibility of either the provincial governor for public works or of the military officials for fortifications. The advent of Christianity saw the blossoming of state-sponsored churches across the entire Empire, and none more so than in Constantinople, where 33 churches were raised during the reign of Justinian alone, including what would later go on to become the Hagia Sophia. Built upon and expanded over time, it became an illustrious example of late Roman architecture, and one of the most important buildings in the world.
