Download or read book Division of Empire written by William Lewis (Archaeologist) and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Division of Empire follows the lives of Constantine the Great's three sons--Constantine II, Constantius II, and Constans--beginning with the death of their father in 337 AD and tracing how they first shared the empire as a triarchy, until Constantine II was killed by Constans in the civil war of 340, and then Constans was murdered by a usurper in 350. William Lewis uses their story as a case study for how division works, as a process rather than a singular event.
Download or read book Emperors and Rhetoricians written by Moysés Marcos and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-12-26 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Panegyric, the art of publicly praising prominent political figures, occupied an important place in the Roman Empire throughout late antiquity. Orators were skilled political actors who manipulated the conventions of praise giving, taking great license with what they chose to present (or omit). Their ancient speeches are rare windows into the world of panegyrists, emperors, and their audiences. In Emperors and Rhetoricians, Moysés Marcos offers an original, comprehensive look at all panegyrics to and by Julian, who in 355/56 CE promoted himself as a learned caesar by producing his own panegyric on his cousin and Augustan benefactor, Constantius II. During key stages in his public career and throughout the time he held imperial power, Julian experimented with and utilized panegyric as both political communication and political opportunity. Marcos expertly mines this vast body of work to uncover a startlingly new picture of Julian the Apostate, explore anew the arc of his career in imperial office, and model new ways to interpret and understand imperial speeches of praise.

Download or read book The Reception and Interpretation of the Bible in Late Antiquity written by Lorenzo DiTommaso and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-08-31 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume is a Festschrift offered to Charles Kannengiesser on the occasion of his 80th birthday and honours him for his numerous scholarly accomplishments. Its twenty-five contributions discuss some of the major issues pertaining to the reception and interpretation of the Bible in late antique Christianity and Judaism. They focus on the ways in which communities and individuals understood the Bible and interpreted its traditions to address their historical, social, and theological requirements. Since the Bible was by far the most important book during these centuries, a discussion of its influence in such contexts will illuminate significant aspects of the formation of western civilisation.
Download or read book Julian the Apostate in Byzantine Culture written by Stefano Trovato and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julian, the last pagan emperor of the Roman empire, died in war in 363. In the Byzantine (that is, the Eastern Roman) empire, the figure of Julian aroused conflicting reactions: antipathy towards his apostasy but also admiration for his accomplishments, particularly as an author writing in Greek. Julian died young, and his attempt to reinstate paganism was a failure, but, paradoxically, his brief and unsuccessful policy resonated for centuries. This book analyses Julian from the perspectives of Byzantine Culture. The history of his posthumous reputation reveals differences in cultural perspectives and it is most intriguing with regard to the Eastern Roman empire which survived for almost a millennium after the fall of the Western empire. Byzantine culture viewed Julian in multiple ways, first as the legitimate emperor of the enduring Roman empire; second as the author of works written in Greek and handed down for generations in the language that scholars, the Church, and the state administration all continued to use; and third as an open enemy of Christianity. Julian the Apostate in Byzantine Culture will appeal to both researchers and students of Byzantine perspectives on Julian, Greco-Roman Paganism, and the Later Roman Empire, as well as those interested in Byzantine Historiography.
