The fastigium was a pediment surmounted by silver statues and supported by four bronze columns, standing as a linear structure in front of the altar of the basilica. In contrast to other objects of imperial largitio donated to the Christian churches, the fastigium was recognized from the very beginning as an explicit monument of imperial presence. Both its shape and its unusual nature in the context of Christian liturgy were responsible for this association.

For reasons of convenience I will limit the notes to references to my own earlier studies for the sources and further literature, to a few specific publications and to some recent titles that reflect new research on the theme. I apologize for this unbalanced account of the great deal I owe to the research of other authors.
