i like with the orient express twists. possibilities are endless. i wouldn't be surprised that the piece of the cross was ended up in istanbul. helena with the goods, coming from jerusalem to rome via istanbul.cooling off, rejuvaneting, new robes from the finest dressmakers and beauty slaves, the jewels, golden horn nights with vines from troy.
- eat your heart out vatican, you got nothing to show for. emperor gets it all.
rita direct me to the saintess.
* i guess goose bumps weren't for nothing..
The Semiology of God

18 September 324 - Constantine defeats Licinius at Chrysopolis and in turn becomes sole ruler of the Roman Empire.
8 November 324 - Constantine founds Constantinople
25 July 325 -- the Nicene Creed and conclusion of the Nicene Council, over which Constantine precided. 25 July 325 also marked the beginning of Constantine's 20th year as a Roman Augustus. It is fairly certain that Helena also attended the Nicene Council.
14 September 325 - Helena finds the Holy Cross at Jerusalem.
25 July 326 - the closing ceremonies of Constantine's 20th jubilee year at Rome. The death of Helena and the suicide of Fausta, Constantine's second wife (at Naples and Rome respectively).
3 August 326 - Constantine leaves Rome and never returns.
11 May 330 - dedication of Constantinople.
22 May 336 - death of Constantine at Nicomedia.
During Constantine's 20th jubilee year, his movements throughout the Empire were a gradual moving toward Rome over land--Greece, the Balkens, northern Italy. During the same period, Helena likely moved toward Rome via north Africa, ultimately crossing to Italy from Carthage.
