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. This dissertation examines the parameters of and conflicts between these new histories in order to demonstrate the existence of a coherent intellectual movement whose central concern was influencing the normative narrative of Roman history in the sixth century. ii

I would never have been prepared to undertake this dissertation if Daniel Alig had not taught me to read in the literary equivalent of the Spartan agoge. Ruth Bellows taught me to love reading and to write like I had something to say, for which, and for many other things besides, I will be eternally grateful to her. Walter Stevenson first directed me toward the sixth century and the tutelage of Anthony Kaldellis. For that and for his unfailing humor and encouragement, I am indebted to him. Benjamin Acosta-Hughes has been an indispensable source of institutional and personal support. Had he not found the funds to send me to Oxford in the winter of 2014 my professional trajectory would have been altered, drastically and for the worse. Likewise, had I not had his humor to fall back on, it is unlikely that this dissertation would have been completed. My department could not ask for a better chair.
I owe a great personal debt to many people whose love has made everything else possible, and in return I offer my love and thanks: to my family, especially Maria Ethel de la Luz Piñeyro Kruse, Victor Otte, and Tyler Kruse, for their examples and sacrifices; to Brooke, Kelly, and Amy for shelter and friendship; to Dr. Bellows for long conversations in the attic; to Laura for always standing her ground; to Emily for growing up with me; to Hank and Mike for their camaraderie; to Hanne and Joey for being symmachoi; to Pippa for warmth; and to Michael for the most profound friendship of my life and for walking with me in worlds our eyes have never seen.
My chief debt is reserved for Anthony Kaldellis, my mentor and friend, without whom none of this would have been possible. Whatever good ideas are present in this dissertation and whatever success I have found or will find in my professional career, it must all be laid at Anthony’s feet. The debt owed is universal, which is to say infinite and ever-expanding. Since he has no patience for panegyric, I will simply say thank you. I hope that, if I have too often been Thrasymachos, then at least I have never been so gullible as Glaukon.

INTRODUCTION: ROMAN HISTORY AFTER THE FALL OF ROME

Therefore, most pius of principes, it befits your power and office that we should seek your concord, which we have done up til now out of friendship. For you are the most beautiful glory of all kingdoms, the helpful bulwark of the whole world, you whom other rulers look up to by law because they perceive that there is something innate to you alone. We, who with divine aid learned in your respublica how we are able to rule
Romans equitably, do this most of all. Our kingdom is an imitation of yours, the image of your good intention, modelled on the one and only empire. In so far as we follow you, we surpass all other peoples.1
-Cassiodorus, Variae 1.1.2-3

At some point near the middle of the reign of Anastasios (491-518), likely during the tense period for east-west relations between 505 and 508, Theoderic, king of the Goths and Italians, sent a letter to the emperor in Constantinople which had been drafted by his prefect, the Roman senator Cassiodorus.2 In this letter, part of which is quoted above, Theoderic claims to be a subordinate partner in the project of Roman government and describes his rule in Italy as an imitation of the one true respublica Romana, which at the time was the Roman empire of the East. Theoderic occupied an unusual position in the Roman world of the fifth century. He had been educated, as his letter mentions, in Constantinople, where he grew up as a diplomatic hostage. After being released,

1 Cass. Var. 1.1.2-3: Et ideo, piissime principum, potentiae vestrae convenit et honori, ut concordiam vestram quaerere debeamus, cuius adhuc amore proficimus. vos enim estis rengorum omnium pulcherrimum decus, vos totius orbis salutare praesidium, quos ceteri dominantes iure suspiciunt, quia in vobis singulare aliquid inesse cognoscunt, aequabiliter imperare possimus. Regnum nostrum imitatio vestra est, forma boni propositi, unici exemplar imperii: qui quantum vos sequimur, tantum gentes alias anteimus.

2 For Theoderic’s title, see A.H.M. Jones, ‘The Constitutional Position of Odoacer and Theoderic,’ JRS 52

(1962) 126-130.

1
Theoderic established himself as the leader of a confederation of Goths whom he eventually led into Italy, with the support of the emperor Zenon (474-491), to depose Odoacer, the barbarian general who had himself deposed Romulus Augustulus in 476, an event that is today taken to mark the definitive fall of the western Roman empire. Once in Italy, Theoderic established an independent Gothic kingdom in the heartland of the former Roman empire, one which was theoretically and rhetorically subject to the emperor in Constantinople, yet functionally independent. Theoderic’s rhetoric in his letter to Anastasios may have been only diplomatically polite, but it underscores a fundamental dynamic of the sixth century: the former western Roman empire, including Rome herself, now sought to legitimize its Romanness and standing in the world by reference to the emperors of Constantinople; Italy was Roman because of New Rome. The Roman heartland had shifted from Italy to Thrace, its political center from Rome to New Rome.

This inversion of the Roman world, in which Rome’s former imperial holdings came to usurp that city’s traditional prerogatives as the mother of empire, can be

observed independently of the fraught modern debate over whether the empire experienced a decline and fall or a transformation. Whether or not we accept that the western Roman empire fell in 476 (or at any other point in the fifth or sixth century for that matter), it is beyond doubt that the circumstances of both the eastern and western empires and their relationship to one another had radically shifted by the year 491, when Anastasios was acclaimed emperor in Constantinople. These momentous changes required explanation, especially in the east, and it is not coincidental that it was only a generation later that the idea that the western Roman empire ‘fell’ in 476 was first set

2forth and our first explicit historian of Roman decline, Zosimos, penned his work.3

Scholars of the ‘transformation school’ of later Roman history have seen in the

‘invention’ of 476 evidence for the artificiality of the narrative of decline and fall, but we can flip this observation on its head and ask why these narratives of decline and fall began to appear at this historical moment, in the place that they did, namely Constantinople. The creation of a Roman turning point in 476 may or may not tell us much about what really happened in 476, but it does tell us a great deal about the historical thinking of Zosimos (ca. 500), Marcellinus comes in the 520s, and Jordanes in the 550s. Likewise, discussions of Theoderic as an ideal Roman monarch in Italy, which can be found in the works of the eastern authors Prokopios and Jordanes, do not necessarily imply a fundamental continuity between the Roman and post-Roman west, but they do tell us how eastern Romans in the 550s understood the relationship between their empire and the Ostrogothic kingdom in Italy.
This dissertation will examine the process by which the emperors, historians, and poets of the eastern empire employed history and mythistory in order to come to terms with the political realities of the sixth century. In particular, it will focus on the creation of new historical narratives, the manner of their deployment, and the debates they inspired in order to understand how eastern Romans came to reimagine themselves not merely as eastern Romans, but as the only Romans worthy of the name, a process with profound implications for our understanding of the intellectual and political climate of the sixth century. As such, this study will focus on a series of central questions concerning

Roman identity and politics that were current in the sixth century: What did it mean to be Roman after ca. 500? What were the implications of this new formulation of Roman identity for the inhabitants of the former western Roman empire? How could an empire be Roman without the city of Rome? More pointedly, how could an empire be Roman when it was at war with Rome? How did these issues motivate and shape historical constructions of Constantinople as New Rome? How did the idea that a Roman empire could fall influence political rhetoric in Constantinople? Whereas a great deal of scholarship has attempted to understand the post-Roman west,4 the process by which the

Romans of Constantinople came to terms with their new place in the world and the Roman historical imagination has not been explored.5 The goal of this study is to begin redressing that imbalance by investigating the ways in which the shifting historical and mythistorical narratives of the sixth century reflect the attempts of eastern Romans to reconfigure their understanding of Roman history in order to account for the political realities of the sixth century, their own predicament for which there was no clear precedent, beginning with the reign of Anastasios and continuing through the publication of the major works covering the reign of Justinian in the 550s.6
The subject of this study is restricted to historical memory as constructed in texts, especially imperial pronouncements, laws, histories, and other forms of literature; the subject of cultural memory more broadly is not addressed. Moreover, it is not primarily concerned with distinguishing fact from fiction in the historical accounts of the period, but rather with attempting to understand why the authors of the sixth century chose to write them the way they did. Rather than assess the factuality of their accounts, we will investigate the rhetorical implications of their authorial decisions with an eye to

5 Studies have considered the eastern Roman reaction to the fall of Rome and the continuation of Roman political systems in the eastern Roman empire. See respectively, W. Kaegi, Byzantium and the Decline of

Rome (Princeton, 1968); A. Kaldellis, The Byzantine Republic: People and Power in New Rome

see A. Kaldellis, Hellenism in Byzantium: The Transformations of Greek Identity and the Reception of the Classical Tradition (Cambridge, 2007) 42-119.

6 This study of historical memory in the sixth century is anticipated and aided by a number of excellent studies in historical memory that have appeared in recent years, covering both the ancient and medieval periods and effectively bracketing the period of late antiquity, for which no such studies exist. For the

Roman Republic, see A. Gallia, Remembering the Roman Republic: Culture, Politics, and History under the Principate (Cambridge, 2012); A. Gowing, Empire and Memory: The Representation of the Roman

Republic in Imperial Culture (Cambridge, 2005). On medieval memory generally, see M. Carruthers, The

Book of Memory: A Study of Memory in Medieval Culture (Cambridge, 1990). On the Carolingians, see A. Latowsky, Emperor of the World: Charlemagne and the Construction of Imperial Authority, 800-1229 (Ithaca, 2013); R. McKitterick, History and Memory in the Carolingian World (Cambridge, 2004).

5understanding the anxieties and agendas that motivated the composition of their works. Just to be clear, this approach does not reflect the attitude, expressed by some scholars,

that facts do not matter or that ‘the insoluble contradiction of ‘truth against fiction’ is

devoid of meaning.’7 Indeed, facts are essential to the current project as they allow modern scholars to recognize moments of innovation and invention in historical writing, and it is precisely at these moments that we may gain our clearest insight into the rhetorical aims of an author.
The writing of history and the role of history in creating a useable past to guide present and future debates will therefore be at the forefront of this study. In this respect,

this dissertation follows the approach of Alain Gowing’s monograph Empire and

Memory. However, where Gowing restricted his subject to discussions of a specific time period (the Roman Republic) in texts published over the course of more than a century after the end of that time period, this dissertation will engage with sixth-century discussions of the full range of Roman history—from the mythistorical narratives of the founding of the Latin people by Aeneas through contemporary sixth-century events such

Kehoe, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ F. Thomas Luongo, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ Thomas D. Frazel, Ph.D AN ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of Gregory I (r. 590-604 CE) in developing permanent ecclesiastical institutions under the authority of the Bishop of Rome to feed and serve the poor and the socio-political world in which he did so. Gregory’s work was part culmination of pre-existing practice, part innovation. I contend that Gregory transformed fading, ancient institutions and ideas—the Imperial annona, the monastic soup kitchen-hospice or xenodochium, Christianity’s “collection for the saints,” Christian caritas more generally and Greco-Roman euergetism—into something distinctly ecclesiastical, indeed “papal.” Although Gregory has long been closely associated with charity, few have attempted to unpack in any systematic way what Gregorian charity might have looked like in practical application and what impact it had on the Roman Church and the Roman people. I believe that we can see the contours of Gregory’s initiatives at work and, at least, the faint framework of an organized system of ecclesiastical charity that would emerge in clearer relief in the eighth and ninth centuries under Hadrian I (r. 772-795) and Leo III (r.

Roman Senators Between Rome and Constantinople Master’s Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Michael Anthony Carrozzo, B.A Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Thesis Committee: Kristina Sessa, Advisor Timothy Gregory Anthony Kaldellis Copyright by Michael Anthony Carrozzo 2010 Abstract For over a thousand years, the members of the Roman senatorial aristocracy played a pivotal role in the political and social life of the Roman state. Despite being eclipsed by the power of the emperors in the first century BC, the men who made up this order continued to act as the keepers of Roman civilization for the next four hundred years, maintaining their traditions even beyond the disappearance of an emperor in the West. Despite their longevity, the members of the senatorial aristocracy faced an existential crisis following the Ostrogothic conquest of the Italian peninsula, when the forces of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I invaded their homeland to contest its ownership. Considering the role they played in the later Roman Empire, the disappearance of the Roman senatorial aristocracy following this conflict is a seminal event in the history of Italy and Western Europe, as well as Late Antiquity. Two explanations have been offered to explain the subsequent disappearance of the Roman senatorial aristocracy. The first involves a series of migrations, beginning before the Gothic War, from Italy to Constantinople, in which members of this body abandoned their homes and settled in the eastern capital.

    The Formulaic Dynamics of Character Behavior in Lucan Howard Chen

    Breakthrough and Concealment: The Formulaic Dynamics of Character Behavior in Lucan Howard Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Howard Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Breakthrough and Concealment: The Formulaic Dynamics of Character Behavior in Lucan Howard Chen This dissertation analyzes the three main protagonists of Lucan’s Bellum Civile through their attempts to utilize, resist, or match a pattern of action which I call the “formula.” Most evident in Caesar, the formula is a cycle of alternating states of energy that allows him to gain a decisive edge over his opponents by granting him the ability of perpetual regeneration. However, a similar dynamic is also found in rivers, which thus prove to be formidable adversaries of Caesar in their own right. Although neither Pompey nor Cato is able to draw on the Caesarian formula successfully, Lucan eventually associates them with the river-derived variant, thus granting them a measure of resistance (if only in the non-physical realm). By tracing the development of the formula throughout the epic, the dissertation provides a deeper understanding of the importance of natural forces in Lucan’s poem as well as the presence of an underlying drive that unites its fractured world.

    Conversion and Empire: Byzantine Missionaries, Foreign Rulers, and Christian Narratives (ca. 300-900) by Alexander Borislavov Angelov A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor John V.A. Fine, Jr., Chair Professor Emeritus H. Don Cameron Professor Paul Christopher Johnson Professor Raymond H. Van Dam Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes © Alexander Borislavov Angelov 2011 To my mother Irina with all my love and gratitude ii Acknowledgements To put in words deepest feelings of gratitude to so many people and for so many things is to reflect on various encounters and influences. In a sense, it is to sketch out a singular narrative but of many personal “conversions.” So now, being here, I am looking back, and it all seems so clear and obvious. But, it is the historian in me that realizes best the numerous situations, emotions, and dilemmas that brought me where I am. I feel so profoundly thankful for a journey that even I, obsessed with planning, could not have fully anticipated. In a final analysis, as my dissertation grew so did I, but neither could have become better without the presence of the people or the institutions that I feel so fortunate to be able to acknowledge here. At the University of Michigan, I first thank my mentor John Fine for his tremendous academic support over the years, for his friendship always present when most needed, and for best illustrating to me how true knowledge does in fact produce better humanity.

At the beginning of the 11th century Byzantium was at the height of its glory. After the victorious conquests of the Emperor Basil II (976-1025), the East-Roman1 Empire regained the sovereignty of the Eastern Mediterranean World and extended from the Armenian Mountains to the Italian Peninsula. Calabria, Puglia and Basilicata formed the South-Italian Provinces, called Themata of Kalavria and Laghouvardhia under the control of an High Imperial Officer, the Katepano. 2But the Empire sought at one time to recover Sicily, held by Arab Egyptian Fatimids, who controlled the island by means of the cadet Dynasty of Kalbits.3 The Prôtospatharios4 Georgios Maniakes was appointed in 1038 by the

    Byzantium's Balkan Frontier

    This page intentionally left blank Byzantium’s Balkan Frontier is the first narrative history in English of the northern Balkans in the tenth to twelfth centuries. Where pre- vious histories have been concerned principally with the medieval history of distinct and autonomous Balkan nations, this study regards Byzantine political authority as a unifying factor in the various lands which formed the empire’s frontier in the north and west. It takes as its central concern Byzantine relations with all Slavic and non-Slavic peoples – including the Serbs, Croats, Bulgarians and Hungarians – in and beyond the Balkan Peninsula, and explores in detail imperial responses, first to the migrations of nomadic peoples, and subsequently to the expansion of Latin Christendom. It also examines the changing conception of the frontier in Byzantine thought and literature through the middle Byzantine period. is British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, Keble College, Oxford BYZANTIUM’S BALKAN FRONTIER A Political Study of the Northern Balkans, – PAUL STEPHENSON British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow Keble College, Oxford The Pitt Building, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom The Edinburgh Building, Cambridge CB2 2RU, UK 40 West 20th Street, New York, NY 10011-4211, USA 477 Williamstown Road, Port Melbourne, VIC 3207, Australia Ruiz de Alarcón 13, 28014 Madrid, Spain Dock House, The Waterfront, Cape Town 8001, South Africa http://www.cambridge.org © Paul Stephenson 2004 First published in printed format 2000 ISBN 0-511-03402-4 eBook (Adobe Reader) ISBN 0-521-77017-3 hardback Contents List ofmaps and figurespagevi Prefacevii A note on citation and transliterationix List ofabbreviationsxi Introduction .Bulgaria and beyond:the Northern Balkans (c.–) .The Byzantine occupation ofBulgaria (–) .Northern nomads (–) .Southern Slavs (–) .The rise ofthe west,I:Normans and Crusaders (–) .
