Abstract

Studien zur Rolle der Kaiserinnen der Spätantike konzentrierten sich lange auf einige wenige Einzelfiguren, die aufgrund eines außergewöhnlichen Lebenslaufs oder der Quellenlage besonderes Interesse auf sich zogen wie etwa Galla Placidia. Die spätere Forschung versuchte, die spezifische Rolle der Kaiserinnen innerhalb des spätantiken, christlichen Kaisertums zu bestimmen. Nach wie vor galt das Interesse dieser Studien den prominenteren kaiserlichen Frauenfiguren dieser Zeit. Auch "Die Frauen der theodosianischen Dynastie" steht in dieser jüngeren Forschungstradition, lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit aber auch auf einige sonst weniger beachtete weibliche Angehörige des sich zunehmend nach Ost und West unterscheidenden römischen Kaisertums. Dabei untersucht Anja Busch zunächst in chronologischer Ordnung die individuellen Rollen der kaiserlichen Frauen basierend auf dem Konzept der "politischen Kommunikation", wobei sich die Einzelstudien jeweils an der erkenntnisleitenden Frage nach Repräsentation und Rezeption von Macht und spätantiker christlicher Herrschaft orientieren. Die so gewonnenen Ergebnisse werden in einem zweiten Teil systematisch analysiert. Damit liegt erstmals eine umfassende Studie zu den kaiserlichen Frauen vor, die im Detail wie konzeptionell über frühere Forschungen zu den Kaiserinnen der theodosianischen Dynastie hinauskommt.

Abstract

Since the publication of Ernst Badian's groundbreaking study "Foreign Clientelae" in 1958, his emphasis on the personal relations between Roman senators and members of the provincial elites has become the dominant interpretation for studies of the Roman Empire. Accordingly, Rome not only conceptualized her relations with communities all over the Mediterranean in the form and language of patronage (amicitia, patronus, cliens) but also heavily relied upon them in order to control the Empire. Moreover, it is assumed that these relationships enhanced the position and influence of Roman nobles back home. In this volume, 18 authors from 6 countries reexamine some underlying theoretical assumptions of this paradigma as well as its actual application by means of different case-studies. As a result, it becomes clear that the usual methods for identifying foreign clientelae by identic names cannot be sustained and the importance of the phenomenon both for the Romans and for the Empire seems to be overestimated. The volume thus offers a fresh approach for analyzing "Foreign Clientelae" while at the same time assessing its significance more appropriately.

Abstract

The Late Roman fort at Yotvata is located in the southern Arava some 40 km north of Eilat/Aqaba (ancient Aila). The modern Hebrew name of the site is based on its suggested identification with biblical Jotbathah (Deut 10:7), where the Israelites encamped during their desert wanderings. The modern Arabic name of the site, Ein Ghadian, may preserve the ancient Roman name Ad Dianam. Because the Late Roman fort at Yotvata is visible as a low mound next to the Arava road, it has long been known to scholars. Each June between 2003 and 2007, Gwyn Davies (Florida International University) and Jodi Magness (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) co-directed excavations here. This volume provides the results of those excavations, adding substantially to our knowledge of Roman defenses in the third and fourth centuries of the Common Era, along the trade route that traversed the southern Arava and on the eastern frontier of the Empire.
