Portfolio Feedback
·
Make sure your cover
sheet is accurate.
·
Update as we work.
o We
did an activity for “Venalicius” that you were supposed to print for the
stories section of your Portfolio.
o If
you had updated your cover sheet as soon as we did that activity/I
assigned it, it would have been in your Portfolio.
- Derivatives
- The purpose of derivatives
assignments is to help you make connections between English
and Latin.
- Do not simply look up all the
English words in a dictionary. This robs your brain of the opportunity to
make these connections!
- Use the Stage Vocab list
- Use your knowledge of English
prefixes (e.g. resignation, insatiable, invocation)
- take
the re- off of resignation, and you know that you’re looking for
something that starts with s - signum
- Let me know if you need some
hints (prejudicial)
- take
the pre- off and you’re starting with a j
- Latin
didn’t actually have j so it would need to be something that begins
with an i
- in
Latin, i is kind of like y in English – sometimes it’s a vowel,
sometimes a consonant
- it
also makes the y sound like in “you”
- Or,
use your knowledge of the English word to help you. It clearly has
something to do with judging - iudex

Emperor Constantine (reigned 306-337 AD) –
before a great battle he had a dream of a cross (or chi rho) and those words
(technically in Greek, but the Latin translation is more famous)
o He
had his soldiers put the cross on their armor/shields and they did indeed
conquer.
- Constantine I (or Constantine the Great) became the
first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity.
- Although he did not enforce Christianity as the
official religion of Rome, this began the strong relationship between
Rome and the Catholic Christian faith.
- Constantine was a major participant in the Edict of
Milan in 313 AD which granted Christians (and indeed peoples of all
faiths) religious freedom to worship openly without fear of persecution.
- Constantine also moved the
capital of the Roman empire from Rome to Byzantium or Constantinople (now
Istanbul)
Culture: Basilicas
- Constantine was also
instrumental in the adoption of the Roman basilica form for Catholic churches.
- In the later Empire, basilicas
were being used as palaces/audience chambers.
- Constantine converted one of
his basilicas to a church, replacing his throne with an altar.
·
Roman and Greek style temples were rejected as
architectural templates for Christian churches because they were associated
with paganism.
·
Also, Greek and Roman sacrificial altars were
outside of the temples themselves.
·
Later, people also associated the shape of the
basilica with the shape of the cross, popularizing the form even more.
·
Basilica architectural features:
o Narthex - an antechamber or large porch
o Nave
- the
central part of a church building, intended to accommodate most of the
congregation
o Transept
- either
of the two parts forming the arms of the cross shape, projecting at
right angles from the nave
o Apse
- large semicircular recess with a domed roof, usually containing the
altar
