Talk:Sarcophagi of Helena and Constantina

Helena was buried in Constantinople
the Book of Ceremonies says: 1. In the principal place, to the east, lies the sarcophagus of St. Constantine, [of] porphyry, or rather ‘Roman’ [stone], in which he himself lies with the blessed Helen his mother /so she was buried in Constantinople in The Church of the Holy Apostles. / That sarcophagus in the article could be "the sarcophagus of Constantine II " ??? Because he died in Italy. Böri (talk) 13:07, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Why a book of court etiquette written some 600 years later should be taken as definitive I don't know! See Mausoleum of Helena. Johnbod (talk) 14:18, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * but there are soldiers on this sarcophagus... Why? Böri (talk) 12:56, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * If you read the article you will see it was intended for constantine but in the end used for his mother. Johnbod (talk) 15:20, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * They say so... but where's the sarcophagus of Constantine II then? / Robert de Clari also wrote that: Constantine the Great and his mother were buried in the Church of the Holy Apostles (in Constantinople). Yes, you're right... written in 1204.(867 years after the death of Constantine the Great!) Böri (talk) 07:51, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
