There is a mistake in the lecture... the Hagia Sophia was not built by Constantine the Great. He died in 337, and the church was constructed decades later, and not completed and dedicated until 360 AD, under the reign of Constantius II. This should be corrected in the lecture (I see some students in their homeworks even said that Constantine the Great is their favorite Emperor partly because he constructed that cathedral, which is simply false and misleading). --[[User:JKeeting|JKeeting]] 16:14, 1 October 2011 (EDT) | There is a mistake in the lecture... the Hagia Sophia was not built by Constantine the Great.
