Abstract

The division of the late Roman Empire into two theoretically cooperating parts by the brothers Valentinian and Valens in 364 deeply influenced many aspects of government in each of the divisions. Although the imperial policies during this well-documented and formative period are generally understood to have been driven by the religious and ideological aims of the emperors, R. Malcolm Errington argues that the emperors were actually much more pragmatic in their decision making than has previously been assumed.The division of responsibilities between the emperors inevitably encouraged se

Abstract

In het jaar 400 strekte het Romeinse Rijk zich nog uit van de Ierse zee tot de Arabische woestijn, en van de straat van Gibraltar tot aan de Kaukasus. Amper een eeuw later was dit rijk in het Westen volledig van de kaart verdwenen en vervangen door een dozijn barbaarse vorstendommen. Hoe kon zo'n bolwerk van macht en beschaving zo snel ten onder gaan? Het is een vraag die historici al eeuwen voor een raadsel stelt omdat er nauwelijks bronnenmateriaal is. Toch slaagt Jeroen Wijnendaele erin om een beeld te schetsen van de turbulente vierde en vijfde eeuw. Van de dood van Valentinianus I (375) en het uiteengaan van het West-Romeinse en Oost-Romeinse Rijk tot de verovering van Italië door de Ostrogoten (493). De lezer wordt meegenomen op een rondreis door het rijk in het voetspoor van spraakmakende figuren zoals Attila, St. Augustinus en Alarik. Genuanceerd, helder en overzichtelijk toont Wijnendaele aan dat de ondergang van Rome in de vijfde eeuw een chaotische periode was, boordevol conflicten waarin keizers, krijgsheren, barbaren en bisschoppen elk hun rol speelden, maar daarom nog geen clash der beschavingen zoals vaak beweerd wordt. Romeinen en barbaren is een boeiende studie over een periode die vele eeuwen later nog steeds tot de verbeelding spreekt. Grondige beschrijving van het proces dat leidde tot de ondergang van het West-Romeinse Rijk. De stelling van de schrijver is dat het dubbele gezagsvacuüm dat voortvloeide uit de heerschappij van de zogenaamde kindkeizers die zich vanaf 375 terugtrokken in de paleizen van Italië, en de verwaarlozing van politieke netwerken ten noordwesten van de Alpen, aan de directe basis liggen van de desintegratie van het keizerlijke Westen. Voor het echter zover was, begon vanaf 235 met de komst van de zogenaamde soldatenkeizers, usurpators, die niet door de wettelijke macht werden erkend, al een tijd van chaos, intriges en geweld. Vanaf dit tijdstip begon de kracht van het eens zo machtige rijk langzaam maar zeker te vervallen. De schrijver ontkracht en passant de notie van 'de grote volksverhuizingen', dit waren volgens hem geen gigantische hordes die een hechte groepscohesie hadden, maar voormalige legereenheden of krijgsbendes, aangevuld met andere mensen van diverse afkomst.

Abstract

In the research on "The transformation of the Roman world" relatively little attention has been paid to the transformation of early medieval peoples and the development of their communities into kingdoms, and we lack a comparative study on this subject. The aim of this volume is, therefore, to examine the relationship between gens and regnum by systematically comparing the "Germanic" and non-Germanic successor states of the Roman Empire, a question that leads to important results about the role of ethnic processes and of political developments in the formation of the new kingdoms. By trying to answer leading questions, 16 authors (historians, archaeologists and linguists) deal with ten important kingdoms of this period and with their political and legal context (role of the Empire and the law-codes). An introduction to the subject and its inherent problems and a comparative conclusion summarizing the results completes the volume. Contributors: Javier Arce, Ann Christys, Evangelos Chrysos, Falko Daim, Hans-Werner Goetz, Matthias Hardt, Peter Heather, Jörg Jarnut, J.H.W.G. Liebeschuetz, Walter Pohl, Michael Schmauder, Isabel Velázquez, Ian N. Wood, Alex Woolf, Patrick Wormald, and Barbara Yorke.

Abstract

East and West in the Roman Empire of the Fourth Century examines the (dis)unity of the Roman Empire in the fourth century from different angles, in order to offer a broad perspective on the topic and avoid an overvaluation of the political division of the empire in 395. After a methodological key-paper on the concepts of unity, the other contributors elaborate on these notions from various geo-political perspectives: the role of the army and taxation, geographical perspectives, the unity of the Church and the perception of the divisio regni of 364. Four case-studies follow, illuminating the role of concordia apostolorum , antique sports, eunuchs and the poet Prudentius on the late antique view of the Empire. Despite developments to the contrary, it appears that the Roman Empire remained (to be viewed as) a unity in all strata of society.
