E 'is well known that the earliest memories Christian are all concentrated in Rome (Ancient) and surrounding area, while anywhere else Orbe terraqueous a bit' more Lazio far there are no witnesses of the third or fourth century, even the oldest saints who have had the good fortune to be born or die in Lazio are historical figures, while all others are legendary. Or at least that is what you get from any publication since the Counter-Reformation onwards: from Annales of Baronius (1588 \\ 1607), until the authoritative Week Enigmistica (1931 -) .
Is it really true? Why, even in the seventh century, the popes of Ancient Rome Syracuse hailed as the "first", the oldest church in the West? And 'why for centuries (at least up to 751) none challenged the antiquity (el'autocefalia) of the Church of Ravenna? And how did the Church of Aquileia before the Edict of Constantine (313) was able to put his hand to a sumptuous basilica of nearly 2,300 m 2 ? And it is certain - as certain - that the ancient temple of the Theotokos of Crotone (factory original: VI BC) and the cathedral of Agrigento (factory original fifth century BC) were deliberately destroyed in the sixteenth century, as Temple of the Theotokos Terreti (RC) was blown up with dynamite in the twentieth century, many ancient Christian memories have been made to disappear? (The Theotokos of Terreti was undermined in 1915 declared it unsafe . It may be that the dynamite was a little 'expired: templon remained almost intact and the luxurious mosaic floor).
