Why didn't he bother drawing Corsica and Sardinia but he drew the Balearic islands or the islands of Denmark?

Constantinople wasn't made a patriarchal see until the council of Chalcedon in 451. Before Constantine Christianity was illegal so Christians held mass in private houses or underground catacombs and could not build or maintain church buildings(see pic related). After Constantine legalized the church, they began building parish churches and large basillica cathedrals which is where the head bishops would have had their headquarters.

My point is that did they have any large/important church building at Alexandria, Jerusalem or Antiochia?

>>3200623
Yeah, I said the basilicas. Domus aurea in Antioch, st marks cathedral in Alexandria,
The holy sepulcher in Jerusalem, St. Peter's in Rome.

Constantine died in 337 AD, why did it take so long and why did the bishop set up residence in Constantinople, and not a nearby city, to engage in the politics of pope and emperor like in the investiture controversy

During the time of Constantine the small town of Byzantium was turned into a major city and was elevated to a metropolitan archdiocese with an archbishop under the antiochite church. I think it was made into a patriarchate to consolidate Anatolia and the Balkans into one ecclesiastical jurisdiction centered in the capital of the eastern Roman Empire taking from the area Antioch once covered.

Rome have its Four Great Basilicas.
Antioch have its own St Peter.
Alexandria have St Mark.
Jerusalem have Tomb of Christ.
And Pentarchy is post-schism meme

As retarded as it is, it's because they got in the way of "Rome"

>>3200552
Rome would be harder to read
