Ludovicus Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) I know that once Constantine established Constantinople that many senators and the well-to-do from Rome moved there permanently. Did these Western Romans, Latin-speaking and former residents of the Latin Patriarchy, constitute a separate community in the Eastern Empire's capital? Does anyone have any sources on what became of these transplants? Edited January 29, 2007 by Ludovicus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Octavius Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 What do you mean by 'residents of the Latin Patriarch'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludovicus Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 What do you mean by 'residents of the Latin Patriarch'? Thanks for the question. I mean that most Christians from the City of Rome would have been under the Pope, Patriarch of the West. The city of Constantinople was under the authority of the Patriarch of Constantinople, a different religious leader. From time to time these two patriarchs would disagree with serious consequences.

Ludovicus Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 What do you mean by 'residents of the Latin Patriarch'? I see my error. I should have written "Latin Patriarchy." I've corrected the mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philhellene Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) There was no such difference between Roman and Constantinople churches in IV century as in Middle ages. Moreover well-educated Romans knew Greek language as well as Latin. Edited January 29, 2007 by Philhellene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Octavius Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I think that Philhellene is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
