Abstract

Texte de la première partie "Diese Arbeit wirft ein neues Licht auf das Phänomen der Konversion zur Philosophie in der Spätantike. Während die bisherige Forschung das Idealbild philosophischer Konversion anhand normativer philosophischer Texte nachzeichnet, untersucht die Autorin die tatsächliche Relevanz der Philosophie für die Identität konkreter Individuen: Julian und Synesios gehen unterschiedliche Wege im Labyrinth der religiösen Traditionen der Spätantike; als roter Faden ist jedoch in beiden Biographien die grundlegende Selbstverortung als Philosophen erkennbar, die auch ihre Religiosität strukturiert und bestimmt."

Abstract

Die Briefe des Synesios von Kyrene (ca. 370-413 n.Chr.), der nicht nur Philosoph und Schriftsteller, sondern auch Feldherr und Bischof war, geben Einblick in die sozialen, politischen und religiös-intellektuellen Verhältnisse seiner Zeit. Für diesen Band wurden neun Briefe übersetzt und kommentiert; sie bieten einen ersten Zugang zu Synesios' Welt, vor allem auch zur Bilderwelt seiner aus den Mythen Platons gespeisten Jenseitsvorstellungen.

Abstract

Between 300 and 600, Christianity experienced a momentous change from persecuted cult to state religion. One of the consequences of this shift was the evolution of the role of the bishop-as the highest Church official in his city-from model Christian to model citizen. Claudia Rapp's exceptionally learned, innovative, and groundbreaking work traces this transition with a twofold aim: to deemphasize the reign of the emperor Constantine, which has traditionally been regarded as a watershed in the development of the Church as an institution, and to bring to the fore the continued importance of the

Abstract

The chaotic events of A.D. 395-400 marked a momentous turning point for the Roman Empire and its relationship to the barbarian peoples under and beyond its command. In this masterly study, Alan Cameron and Jacqueline Long propose a complete rewriting of received wisdom concerning the social and political history of these years. Our knowledge of the period comes to us in part through Synesius of Cyrene, who recorded his view of events in his De regno and De providentia. By redating these works, Cameron and Long offer a vital new interpretation of the interactions of pagans and Christians, Goths and Romans.   In 394/95, during the last four months of his life, the emperor Theodosius I ruled as sole Augustus over a united Roman Empire that had been divided between at least two emperors for most of the preceding one hundred years. Not only did the death of Theodosius set off a struggle between Roman officeholders of the two empires, but it also set off renewed efforts by the barbarian Goths to seize both territory and office. Theodosius had encouraged high-ranking Goths to enter Roman military service; thus well placed, their efforts would lead to Alaric's sack of Rome in 410. Though the authors' interest is in the particularities of events, Barbarians and Politics at the Court Of Arcadius conveys a wonderful sense of the general time and place. Cameron and Long's rebuttal of modern scholarship, which pervades the narrative, enhances the reader's engagement with the complexities of interpretation. The result is a sophisticated recounting of a period of crucial change in the Roman Empire's relationship to the non-Roman world.  This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1993.
