    La Storia della Basilica
    L’edificio costantiniano… L’imperatore Costantino proclamò la libertà di culto nel 313, mettendo fine alla persecuzione contro il Cristianesimo, e fece erigere due Basiliche sulle tombe di Pietro e di Paolo. Papa Silvestro consacrò quella di San Paolo nel 330 circa. Le dimensioni ridotte dell’edificio erano dovute alle strettezze topografiche: essendo questo come d’uso orientato ad est verso Gerusalemme, la collina di San Paolo e l’antica via Ostiense lo limitavano sul lato orientale.

    … e la grande basilica teodosiana, del IV sec. Di fronte al crescente afflusso dei pellegrini, all’aumentata richiesta di ampliare l’edificio ed all’impossibilità di ingrandirlo e di spostare la Tomba, i tre imperatori allora reggenti: Teodosio (che proclamerà il Cristianesimo religione di Stato nel 391), Valentiniano II e Arcadio, fecero costruire la più vasta basilica di Roma orientata verso ovest. Papa Siricio la consacrò nel 390.
