Aachen – New Rome, New Constantinople?

Summary/Abstract: This study examines a new, assumed thesis that Aachen in the 9th century ‒ at least for a few years ‒ became new Rome and new Constantinople. So, Aachen became a new center in Europe in the most important aspects ‒ culture, art and theology. As the center of Carolingian culture and theology, the town became the center of the part of Europe ruled by Emperor Charles the Great. This study also discusses that new Frankish culture, Frankish art and Frankish theology were created in Aachen, and because of that it became new Rome and new Constantinople.
