Constructed between c.AD 244 and 450 and bridging the transition from paganism to Christianity within the empire, these important buildings shared a common design. Mark Johnson examines the symbolism and function of the mausolea, demonstrating that these monuments served as temples and shrines to the divinized emperors.
