Our scat- tered and fragmentary sources do not permit such a history to be written. I have done my best to collect and use all available material, but I am sure that some related data have escaped my attention. Nor does the title of this book entirely correspond to its subject. The Goths as a remnant of the large Germanic branch which remained in the Crimea and was cut off from the main Gothic stock did not survive the Middle Ages. A minority in the Peninsula, they gradually lost their nationality and their Germanic tongue and were first hellenized and later tartarized. The evidence given by some writers late in the Middle Ages that Gothic was at that time spoken in the Crimea does not change the general pic- ture. Some of these writers are not very reliable, since they drew their information from hearsay, never visiting Gothia themselves; others are more reliable, but their statements may be taken only as proof that in their time some individuals in Gothia, perhaps newcomers from Western Europe, could speak a Germanic dialect. The name Gothia finally lost its ethnographic meaning and was given to a Greek principality, in whose name alone the Germanic origin and old Germanic tradition survived. This example is not unique during the Middle Ages. Late in the Middle Ages Italian documents call the Crimea Ghazaria, which reminds us of the past power of the Khazars, who towards the tenth century lost all political significance. The Slavonic country of modern Bulgaria preserves in its name its Hunno-Turkish origin, just as the Slavonic state of Russia by its name goes back to its Scandinavian origin. No doubt many of my statements in this book will be modified, cor- rected, or even rejected on the basis of new material. The Genoese, Venetian, and Italian archives in general still retain many secrets of Ital- ian (especially Genoese and Venetian) political and economic activities in the Crimea, and the publication of their documents will throw new light on the history of Gothia in the second half of the Middle Ages. And it is not only archival documents that are extremely important for our subject. Archaeological expeditions to the territory of former Gothia are also of the greatest significance to the Gothic problem in the Crimea. The recent excavations undertaken by the Russian State Academy for the History of Material Culture concentrated on Eski-Kermen have already yielded brilliant results. The Russian archaeologists claim to have shown that the original stronghold of the Goths, Dory or Doros (Doras), which was so effectively described by Procopius, was located not on Mankup but on the plateau of Eski-Kermen. Others besides Russians are interested Generated for alum (Columbia University) on 2013-04-27 01:24 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015066034706 Public Domain, Google-digitized / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#pd-google vi Preface in the archaeological investigation of Gothia. In 1933 a joint Russo- American expedition (sponsored in part by the University of Pennsyl- vania) worked there. In 1929 a German scholar, Joseph Sauer, visited Gothia and ended his very interesting article on Christian monuments in the Gothic region in the Crimea with the following words: 'It would be an alluring problem, especially for us Germans, to undertake a thorough and systematic investigation of the whole region from the archaeological and ethnographic standpoints, and to give a concrete and vivid meaning to the term Gothia which has been so often discussed in old literature.'1 From the standpoint of the general background of political, social, and economic relations in the basin of the Black Sea during the Middle Ages, Gothia may be regarded and studied as one of the essential elements in the process of the development of European civilization in the Near East in general, and in the Crimea in particular. Professor N. Banescu of the University of Cluj (in Roumania) is at present particularly interested in the problem of the Crimean Goths. He announced a paper to be read at the Fourth International Congress of Byzantine Studies, which was held at Sofia in Bulgaria 9-16 September, 1934, with the title, 'Contribution to the History of the Principality of Theodoro-Mangup in the Crimea.' Banescu did not personally attend the Congress, and for a while I had at my disposal only a brief summary of his paper, which runs as follows: 'Analysis of the information on the Goths of the Tauric Chersonesus, from Procopius down to their disappear- ance. The life of St John of Gothia and the Martyrdom of St Abo of Tiflis. In the fourteenth century Greek rulers replace the Gothic chiefs of the country; they reside in Doros, the same city as that of the former Gothic chiefs. Historical data which permit the identification of x&pa t6 Abpv in Procopius with Doros, Theodoro, Mangup. Explanation of the enig- matic name of "Theodoro" of the Greek princes of Mangup.' In 1935 Banescu printed his interesting study under the title given above.2 The first three sections of this book appeared in Russian, in the Publica- tions (Izvestiya) of the Academy for the History of Material Culture, I (1921), 1-80 (pagination of an offprint) and v (1927), 179-282. For this book these three sections have been corrected, revised, and augmented. The last three sections (iv-vi) embracing the period from the year 1204 to the end of the eighteenth century have never before been printed. The manuscript of their original text is in the Archives of the Academy for 1 J. Sauer, 'Die christlichen Denkmaler im Gotengebiet der Krim,' Oriens Chrutianus, 3rd Series, vii (Leipzig; 1932), 202.

    The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Marion Woodrow Kruse, III Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Anthony Kaldellis, Advisor; Benjamin Acosta-Hughes; Nathan Rosenstein Copyright by Marion Woodrow Kruse, III 2015 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the use of Roman historical memory from the late fifth century through the middle of the sixth century AD. The collapse of Roman government in the western Roman empire in the late fifth century inspired a crisis of identity and political messaging in the eastern Roman empire of the same period. I argue that the Romans of the eastern empire, in particular those who lived in Constantinople and worked in or around the imperial administration, responded to the challenge posed by the loss of Rome by rewriting the history of the Roman empire. The new historical narratives that arose during this period were initially concerned with Roman identity and fixated on urban space (in particular the cities of Rome and Constantinople) and Roman mythistory. By the sixth century, however, the debate over Roman history had begun to infuse all levels of Roman political discourse and became a major component of the emperor Justinian’s imperial messaging and propaganda, especially in his Novels. The imperial history proposed by the Novels was aggressivley challenged by other writers of the period, creating a clear historical and political conflict over the role and import of Roman history as a model or justification for Roman politics in the sixth century.

  • BYZANTINE CAMEOS and the AESTHETICS of the ICON By
    BYZANTINE CAMEOS AND THE AESTHETICS OF THE ICON by James A. Magruder, III A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March 2014 © 2014 James A. Magruder, III All rights reserved Abstract Byzantine icons have attracted artists and art historians to what they saw as the flat style of large painted panels. They tend to understand this flatness as a repudiation of the Classical priority to represent Nature and an affirmation of otherworldly spirituality. However, many extant sacred portraits from the Byzantine period were executed in relief in precious materials, such as gemstones, ivory or gold. Byzantine writers describe contemporary icons as lifelike, sometimes even coming to life with divine power. The question is what Byzantine Christians hoped to represent by crafting small icons in precious materials, specifically cameos. The dissertation catalogs and analyzes Byzantine cameos from the end of Iconoclasm (843) until the fall of Constantinople (1453). They have not received comprehensive treatment before, but since they represent saints in iconic poses, they provide a good corpus of icons comparable to icons in other media. Their durability and the difficulty of reworking them also makes them a particularly faithful record of Byzantine priorities regarding the icon as a genre. In addition, the dissertation surveys theological texts that comment on or illustrate stone to understand what role the materiality of Byzantine cameos played in choosing stone relief for icons. Finally, it examines Byzantine epigrams written about or for icons to define the terms that shaped icon production.

Stavrou SEPTEMBER 2020 © Christopher G Rene, September 2020 i Acknowledgements Without the steadfast support of my teachers, family and friends this dissertation would not have been possible, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to express my deep debt of gratitude and thank them all. I would like to thank the members of my dissertation committee, who together guided me through to the completion of this dissertation. My adviser Professor Theofanis G. Stavrou provided a resourceful outlet by helping me navigate through administrative channels and stay on course academically. Moreover, he fostered an inviting space for parrhesia with vigorous dialogue and intellectual tenacity on the ideas of identity, modernity, and the role of Patriarch Dositheos. It was in fact Professor Stavrou who many years ago at a Slavic conference broached the idea of an Orthodox Commonwealth that inspired other academics and myself to pursue the topic. Professor Carla Phillips impressed upon me the significance of daily life among the people of Europe during the early modern period (1450-1800). As Professor Phillips’ teaching assistant for a number of years, I witnessed lectures that animated the historical narrative and inspired students to question their own unique sense of historical continuity and discontinuities. Thank you, Professor Phillips, for such a pedagogical example.
