Who today, however, has ever heard even the name of [the praeses] Datianus, unless he has read the passion of Vincent?’1 As far as Faustus was concerned, Datianus’ appearance in a saint’s life would be his only chance for remembrance.2 The same can be said for nearly all of the people who appear in the works of Sidonius Apollinaris. Late antique Gaul was a busy place.3 A lot was happening: the rise of the Christian church as the most signifi cant social and cultural institution; the creation of barbarian kingdoms cou- pled with the fi nal precipitous decline and end of Roman authority; and a social world that was very much in fl ux, as previously unprivileged social groups gained greater opportunities and means of self-expression.4 The 24 poems, and in particular the 147 letters, of Sidonius offer an unparalleled window on the world of late antique Gaul, and provide readers with a wealth of material about the people who populated it.5 Sidonius was well positioned to gather this kind of information.

    Joseph Grzywaczewski Sidonius Apollinaris' Pagan

    Studia Theologica Varsaviensia UKSW 1/2014 JOSEPH GRZYWACZEWSKI SIDONIUS APOLLINARIS’ PAGAN VISION OF ANCIENt ROMA BELLATRIX IN CHRISTIAN ROME Sidonius Apollinaris was born in Lyons c. 430. His father was prefec- tus pretorii in Gaul. He received a good classical education, especially in grammar, literature and rhetoric, in Lyons and in Arles1. He published several poems and wanted to be considered as a poet2. He married Papia- nilla a daughter of Senator Eparchius Avitus. His father-in-law had good relationships with two kings of Visigoths, Theodoric I (418-451) and his successor Theodoric II (453-466). The Visigoths kept peace with Rome as allies (federati) of the Empire. On July 9th 455, Avitus was proclaimed Emperor of the West in Arles. In such circumstances, young Sidonius started his career in public activity. 1. ROMA BELLATRIX IN THE panegyric IN HONOUR OF AVITUS Sidonius received a proposal to pronounce a panegyric in honour of the new Emperor at the ceremony of his enthronisation in Rome on Ja- nuary 1st 456. He accepted such an honourable proposal and according 1 Sidonius Apollinaris in The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, Ox- ford 1997, p. 1498. 2 See Sidoine Apollinaire, Poèmes, ed.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Michael McCormick Ryan Hayes Wilkinson The Last Horizons of Roman Gaul: Communication, Community, and Power at the End of Antiquity Abstract In the fifth and sixth centuries CE, the Roman Empire fragmented, along with its network of political, cultural, and socio-economic connections. How did that network’s collapse reshape the social and mental horizons of communities in one part of the Roman world, now eastern France? Did new political frontiers between barbarian kingdoms redirect those communities’ external connections, and if so, how? To address these questions, this dissertation focuses on the cities of two Gallo-Roman tribal groups.

    Roman Literature under Nerva, Trajan and Hadrian Literary Interactions, ad 96–138 Edited by Alice König and Christopher Whitton ROMAN LITE·RATURE UNDER NERVA, TRAJAN AND HADRIAN Literary Interactions, AD 96-I38 for John Henderson EDITED BY ALICE KÖNIG Univenity ofSt And~s, Scotland CHRISTOPHER WHITTON Univenity of Cambridge EI CAMBRIDGE ~ UNIVERSITY PRESS 20 /18 ROMAN LITERATURE UNDER NERVA, TRAJAN AND HADRIAN This volume is the first holistic investigation of Roman liceracure and literary culture under Nerva, Trajan and Hadrian (AD 96-138). Wich case scudies from Frontinus, Juvenal, Martial, Pliny the Younger, Plutarch, Quintilian, Suetonius and Tacitus among others, the eigh­ teen chapters offer not just innovative readings ofliterary (and some 'less literary') texts, but a collaborative enquiry into the networks and culcure in which they are embedded. The book brings together estab­ lished and novel methodologies to explore the connections, conver­ sations and silences between these texts and their authors, both on and off the page. The scholarly dialogues that result not only shed fresh light on the dynamics of literary production and consumption in the 'High Roman Empire', but offer new provocations to students ofintercextuality and interdiscursivity across classical literature. How can and should we read textual interactions in their social, literary and cultural contexts? ALICE KÖNIG is Senior Lecturer in Classics at the University of St Andrews. Her research focuses on ancient technical literature and the history of science, and the relationship between politics, society and literature in the early principate. She is preparing a monograph on ehe author and statesman Sextus Julius Frontinus, and has published a series of articles on Vitruvius, Frontinus and Tacitus.
  • The Image of Augustus in the Work of Sidonius Apollinaris

    The Image of Augustus in the Work of Sidonius Apollinaris

    Acta Ant. Hung. 55, 2015, 469–475 DOI: 10.1556/068.2015.55.1–4.32 ÉTIENNE WOLFF THE IMAGE OF AUGUSTUS IN THE WORK OF SIDONIUS APOLLINARIS Summary: We found in the work in prose and verse of Sidonius Apollinaris (5th century) a few num- ber of brief allusions to Augustus, and it comes to him in detail in the preface of Majorien’s Panegyric (Poems IV) and, indirectly, in the dedicatory poem of the same Panegyric (Poems III). We here consider for what purpose Sidonius refers to Augustus, how he is presented, and what are the qualities that are highlighted. It appears that his relations with Virgil and Horace represent an ideal relationship between the poets and the power that Sidonius wants to give as an example. Key words: Sidonius Apollinaris, panegyric, preface, Augustus, Maecenas, Virgil, Horace A Gallo-Roman aristocrat who had an eventful life, closely linked to the history of the Roman Empire of the fifth century, Sidonius Apollinaris is the author of a collec- tion of twenty-four Poems and nine books of Letters.1 Sidonius Apollinaris seldom mentions Augustus. He is briefly mentioned in the Panegyric to Anthemius when dealing with the tradition according to which he would be the son of Apollo who himself would have taken the shape of a snake when meeting his mother (Poems II 121–126). The Panegyric to Avitus shortly mentions the Actium victory over Anthony and Cleopatra (Poems VII 92–95). Augustus however takes an important part in the preface of the Panegyric to Majorian (Poems IV) and indirectly in the dedication poem of the same Panegyric (Poems III).
  • The Image of a Christian in Sidonius Apollinaris' Letters

    The Image of a Christian in Sidonius Apollinaris' Letters

    SHS Web of Conferences 72, 02007 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf /20197202007 APPSCONF-2 019 The image of a Christian in Sidonius Apollinaris’ letters Elena Litovchenko1,* , Sergey Kutomanov1, Marina Ryabtseva1, and Inna Onoprienko1 1Belgorod National Research University, 308015, Belgorod, Russia Abstract. The paper deals with the collective image of a Christian reconstructed by comparing several portraits described in the 5th century Gallo-Roman writer’s epistles and verses Sidonius Apollinaris. This source was chosen due to the fact that Sidonius himself combined the features inherent for both the representative of the highest social stratum of the Late Antique society and for the Christian shepherd. The method of cultural and historical reconstruction with combination of biographical and retrospective methods is used for the formation of the image of a Christian of the Late Antiquity. The authors come to the conclusion that during the 5th century AD as a true Christian was deemed such person who observes the biblical commandments and church rites, distinguished by patience and mercy. The image of a Christian evolved in this period from the weakly expressed version presented by Germanicus, a man for whom, more important the ancient cult of the body, despite belonging to Christian flock, to the ideal, seeking to asceticism, who embodied the bishop Faustus. 1 Introduction In contemporary society, which has lost its spiritual guidelines, consumership becomes the most common way to neutralize an existential hole in people's minds. However, this process cannot help us answer the eternal questions of being: Who are we? Where we are going? While in religion and philosophy answers are given and priorities are indicated.

    – 30 – Тенденции развития науки и образования So, as we see, at present, the pace of construction of skyscrapers will only increase in urban development. This is facilitated by the rise in price of urban land in large cities of the world and the improvement of the material and technical base, building materials, programming of building design using calculation programs. The population seeks to live in large cities with urban centers, which also provokes the demand for high-rises. The next stage in the development of the operation of skyscrapers is predicted - their universal connection with each other using overhead transitions at different altitude levels according to the transition of the Petronas twin towers in the center of the capital of Malaysia, Kauala-Lumpur. The introduction of horizontal transitions can solve a whole range of negative factors of skyscrapers. For example, evacuation in case of fire is not down, but to the side, into the transition of the neighboring building. *** 1.

  • Kinship, Conflict and Unity Among Roman Elites in Post-Roman Gaul

    Kinship, Conflict and Unity Among Roman Elites in Post-Roman Gaul

    Kinship, conflict and unity among Roman elites in post-Roman Gaul: the contrasting experiences of Caesarius and Avitus Leslie Dodd The fifth century saw the end of Roman imperial power in the West. Academic debate continues about whether the empire collapsed or transformed and survived in the form of the barbarian successor states in Gaul, Italy and Spain.1 For the purposes of this chapter, the key matter is that the century began with structures of official power still apparently robust throughout the West and ended with both empire and structures seemingly supplanted by incoming barbarians.2 Yet, while the process of invasion eventually vanquished Roman political authority, Roman provincial elites survived and strove to find new ways of preserving their social, political and economic status in this new post–Roman world. As in earlier times, the fortunes of provincial elites in the later empire were intertwined with the power of the state in the form of the imperial civil service. It was through the state bureaucracy that local elites gained legal and political authority; in some instances, it was how they gained social advancement. This chapter focuses on the increasingly parochial nature of the world in which these elites found themselves. In a world where neither the church nor the new barbarian kings could provide opportunities and careers to match those of the Roman state, we will see that as competition grew for the few available posts, traditional forms of elite class consciousness came to be replaced by a strictly local form of loyalty and identity based more upon kinship than upon shared social status.
  • Constantinople: the Rise of a New Capital in the East

    Constantinople: the Rise of a New Capital in the East

    Constantinople: The Rise of a New Capital in the East HANS-GEORG BECK* CONSTANTINOPLE and her splendor: a fascinating and almost misleading topic; so fascinating that not a few Byzantinists and art historians, praising the glory of the city, apparently forget some essential laws of history-for example, that even the rise of Constantinople must have taken time, that it did not burst forth with Constantine the Great, pacing the far-reaching new circuit of his foundation under divine guidance. And there are other scholars who ask if it is really true that this city, from its beginnings, was radiating, that from its beginnings it was the pivot of politics, the center of art and erudition, and the source of Christian life in the East. The validity of the question is self-evident.1 Rome was not built in a day; nor was Constantinople, though it is surprising how rapidly she developed into a big city of worldwide importance. For some of the local Byzantine historians this development approaches a wonder. But the wonder may be reduced to a less miraculous dimension by taking into consideration that Constantine's city was built on older foundations. Forgetting the fabulous city of the ancient King Byzas and the Megarean Byzantion, let us turn to the important events that took place in the reign of the Roman emperor Septimius Severnus.2 It is true that in 196 he destroyed the old Byzantion because she had fought on the wrong political side. But soon after this catastrophe, the emperor realized the outstanding value of the city's geographical location in the midst of a new political constellation.3 Septimius Severus and his successors therefore began to rebuild the city and to give her quite a different, almost an imperial, dimension.

"Bishop Avitus of Vienne and the Burgundian Kingdom, A. D. 494-518"* by Harry Rosenberg Colorado State University Late antiquity provides the matrix for the complex historical develop­ ment of early medieval church-state relations. Old values and social struc­ tures were eroded and replaced by new ones in the Germanic kingdoms established within the fragments of the western Roman Empire. Relations between church and state were of vital importance in these new kingdoms, and the difficulties inherent in such relations were aggra­ vated by the fact that the new rulers and their people had been converted to Arian, not icene, Christianity. Harmonious relations between the in­ digenous Catholic population led by the ecclesiastical hierarchy and the heretical rulers and their retainers seemed impossible to achieve without the conversion of one group or another. The well-known exception to this pattern is that of the rule in Italy of Theordoric, which dissolved finally into suspicion, despair, and violence.
