re: laws [of silence] "made"

[excerpt]
Second, this week 1676 years ago Rome witnessed the funeral of Helena Augusta. Constantine was in Rome to finish the celebration of his 20th jubilee as Roman emperor on 25 July 326, and Helena was late in arriving from Palestine with a piece of the Cross. Reenactionary indications point to 28 July being the date of Helena's death (very possibly at Naples), and to August 1 being the date of the funeral (a web search of mausoleo elena will show where Helena was buried). Constantine left Rome for the last time on 3 August 326--this is more or less precisely when Rome as capital of the Roman Empire ceased to be, and when Constantinople as capital of the Roman Empire began. And, it is at this time that the law of silence regarding Helena and her finding of the Cross at Golgotha was instituted and immediately enforced. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan during the reign of emperor Theodosius, officially broke the silence on 25 February 395 during his obituary of Theodosius at Milan.

The "reenactionary indications" of 2002 that pointed to the death of St. Helena having had occurred 28 July were the fact that Quondam's host server was down for about three hours the morning of 28 July 2002, along with the fact that news of the successful rescue of the trapped Pennsylvania miners arrived during the same time. [St. Helena is the patron saint of miners.] The issue of a law of silence 24-25 July 2003 (against the author of the neo-legend of St. Helena), however, is an even greater "reenactionary indication", thus it appears St. Helena died 24-25 July 326 and was buried 28 July 326.
[latest addition to "Calendrical Coincidence":
Constantine was present when his father died 25 July 306 at
York.
Constantine was present when his mother died 24-25 July 326 (most likely) at Naples.]
