Abstract (en)
Shows that the monument to S. Augustine (Pavia, S. Pietro in Ciel d'Oro), begun in the 1350s, alludes in its structure and iconography to three traditions: that of monumental, freestanding tombs of saints; of ecclesiastical tombs which include an effigy; and of the Arch of Constantine as a symbol of the triumph of Christianity over paganism. Posits further that the tomb in Pavia was constructed in an attempt to surpass similar monuments in its centuries-old rival, Milan, and that the reference to the Arch of Constantine served as a reminder of Pavia's historical links with Rome.
