  • RICE, CARL ROSS. Diocletian's “Great
    ABSTRACT RICE, CARL ROSS. Diocletian’s “Great Persecutions”: Minority Religions and the Roman Tetrarchy. (Under the direction of Prof. S. Thomas Parker) In the year 303, the Roman Emperor Diocletian and the other members of the Tetrarchy launched a series of persecutions against Christians that is remembered as the most severe, widespread, and systematic persecution in the Church’s history. Around that time, the Tetrarchy also issued a rescript to the Pronconsul of Africa ordering similar persecutory actions against a religious group known as the Manichaeans. At first glance, the Tetrarchy’s actions appear to be the result of tensions between traditional classical paganism and religious groups that were not part of that system. However, when the status of Jewish populations in the Empire is examined, it becomes apparent that the Tetrarchy only persecuted Christians and Manichaeans. This thesis explores the relationship between the Tetrarchy and each of these three minority groups as it attempts to understand the Tetrarchy’s policies towards minority religions. In doing so, this thesis will discuss the relationship between the Roman state and minority religious groups in the era just before the Empire’s formal conversion to Christianity. It is only around certain moments in the various religions’ relationships with the state that the Tetrarchs order violence. Consequently, I argue that violence towards minority religions was a means by which the Roman state policed boundaries around its conceptions of Roman identity. © Copyright 2016 Carl Ross Rice All Rights Reserved Diocletian’s “Great Persecutions”: Minority Religions and the Roman Tetrarchy by Carl Ross Rice A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts History Raleigh, North Carolina 2016 APPROVED BY: ______________________________ _______________________________ S.

Slavery and Manumission in the Pre-Constantine Church Abstract This paper looks at the church’s handling of the issue of slavery in the period before Constantine and the officialecognition r of Christianity. The time period is important because Christians had no political authority to end slavery, assuming they wanted to do so. Thus, the aim of the paper is discover how the Church as an institution alleviated the conditions of the slaves and how slaves were treated in the church and examine the relationship of slave to master in the church. This will be accomplished by examining certain doctrines of the faith church leaders applied to these problems as well as ancient understandings of what Paul had written and how it fit into their world and social context, which was the social context of the Bible itself. More specifically, by examining Paul’s letter to Philemon, Ignatius’ Epistle to Polycarp, and the Didache, the paper argues that the early church, using a Scriptural model, worked within its circumstances to ameliorate slaves’ material conditions, to bring all classes of people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and to ensure that, within the church, all people were treated as equals.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Age of Constantine.Pdf
    The Cambridge Companion to THE AGE OF CONSTANTINE S The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Constantine offers students a com- prehensive one-volume introduction to this pivotal emperor and his times. Richly illustrated and designed as a readable survey accessible to all audiences, it also achieves a level of scholarly sophistication and a freshness of interpretation that will be welcomed by the experts. The volume is divided into five sections that examine political history, reli- gion, social and economic history, art, and foreign relations during the reign of Constantine, a ruler who gains in importance because he steered the Roman Empire on a course parallel with his own personal develop- ment. Each chapter examines the intimate interplay between emperor and empire and between a powerful personality and his world. Collec- tively, the chapters show how both were mutually affected in ways that shaped the world of late antiquity and even affect our own world today. Noel Lenski is Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. A specialist in the history of late antiquity, he is the author of numerous articles on military, political, cultural, and social history and the monograph Failure of Empire: Valens and the Roman State in the Fourth Century ad.

  • Slavery in Ancient Rome and the United States of America: Natural Rights and Their Role in the Brutality of Slavery in America and Its Abolition
    Crossings (Number 3) 197 Slavery in Ancient Rome and the United States of America: Natural Rights and their Role in the Brutality of Slavery in America and its Abolition David J. Wiebe Inception This paper was written for Dr. Jason Brown’s Roman Law and Legacy course in the winter term of the 2017-18 academic year. Students where asked to choose a topic that related to Roman law and its relation to legal history. Abstract This essay looks at the legal framework of slavery in ancient Rome and America, leading up to the Civil War and emancipation. By taking account of legal documents from these two time periods and placing them in relation to each other, the philosophic underpinnings of the law emerge more clearly. Where American perceptions of justice revolve around natural law and natural justice, Roman ones take a more practical approach to justice. This leads to three positions: American pro-slavery, American abolitionist, and Roman pro-slavery. The American pro-slavery arguments posit slavery as a positive good, some texts going so far as to say that anti-slavery arguments are against God. The abolitionist position roots in the same natural justice and natural law philosophic position as their pro-slavery opponents, only the abolitionist position views all humans regardless of race as equal under the law. The Roman position, on the other hand, views slavery as a necessary evil, and as such, has more protections, and a more humane legal position than the American legal system allows for slaves. These three legal positions and their philosophic underpinnings are discussed.

  • Slavery in Ancient Rome Was Not Necessarily for Life
    Slavery and Manumission in Ancient Rome Presented at An Tir Collegium, AS LI, November 11, 2017 Slavery played a huge role socially and politically in the ancient Roman world. We will examine daily life for both slaves and their masters, how slavery was affected by the growth of the Empire, the laws and rituals surrounding manumission (freeing of slaves), and subsequent changes in social status. Please note that I DO NOT condone slavery or any other nonconsensual control of human lives.

  • Imperial Adlocutiones to the Army: Performance, Recording and Functions (2Nd-4Th Centuries CE)1
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Göttinger Forum für Altertumswissenschaft 21, 2018, S. 67-99 Imperial adlocutiones to the army: performance, recording and functions (2nd-4th centuries CE)1 von LUISA ANDRIOLLO, Bamberg Key words: imperial army, imperial image, public speaking, imperial chan- cery, documentary sources, recorded proceedings Abstract This paper addresses the questions of imperial public speaking and the role of imperial chancery in recording, archiving and disseminating the emperor’s words by focusing on a specific typology of imperial pronouncements: impe- rial adlocutiones to the army. The author discusses five sources, covering a pe- riod from the 2nd to the 4th century CE and including epigraphic as well as ju- ridical texts. The circumstances of performance of imperial speeches, their re- cording and use in official imperial documents, and the subsequent circulation of such texts are considered. The analysis provides fresh insights into the pos- sible editorial history of the documents at hand, the modes of official commu- nication between the emperor and his troops and the changing habits of impe- rial bureaucracy from the Early Empire to Late Antiquity. I. Preliminary considerations The prominent role played by written records in all fields of administrative and judicial life is a commonly acknowledged feature of late antique imperial government.2 In particular, both imperial legislation preserved in the Theodo- sian and Justinian codes, and ecclesiastical sources, most notably the acts of the Church councils and synods, provide clear evidence of the importance at- tached to the proper recording of proceedings as a source of legitimacy and 1 This article is part of a project that has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation pro- gramme under grant agreement No 677638.

The focus of historians on Constantine I, the first Roman Emperor to allegedly convert to Christianity, has often come at the cost of ignoring Constantine's predecessor, Diocletian, sometimes known as the "Second Father of the Roman Empire". The success of Constantine's empire has often been attributed to the work and reforms of Diocletian, but there have been very few studies of the man beyond simple biography.

It has been accepted for inclusion in New England Classical Journal by an authorized editor of CrossWorks. Abstract: In Greek and Latin textbooks, verbal and visual discourses function together to construe Greco-Roman systems of enslavement. This article is a survey of the words and images of enslavement in five popular Greek and Latin textbooks and includes sample lessons for educators to apply in their own classroom. Based on the theories and methodologies of multicultural education and systemic functional linguistics, the findings illustrate how the linguistic resources of appraisal (feelings and character) and transitivity (agency and action) function to sanitize and normalize enslavement. The accompanying comparative analysis to 19th-century American discourses on enslavement to demonstrate how the use of these linguistic resources are consistent across time and context. Therefore, although systems of enslavement in the Greco-Roman world were not race-based, the presentation of enslavement in Greek and Latin textbooks today engages in racist discourses that permeate the American education system.
