Abstract

On the basis of a new integration and interpretation of the inscription ICUR 3900 from the Basilica Apostolorum (Rome, via Appia, now S. Sebastian), attributed to Pope Miltiades, the paper re-examines the architectural type of the deambulatory basilica, limited in number (6 examples only in Rome) and chronology (the age of Constantine), and proposes an interpretation of its functions and the reason for the early abandonment of the type.
