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.

  • The Crossing of the Danube and the Gothic Conversion , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 27:3 (1986:Autumn) P.289
    HEATHER, PETER, The Crossing of the Danube and the Gothic Conversion , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 27:3 (1986:Autumn) p.289 The Crossing of the Danube and the Gothic Conversion Peter Heather MMIANUS MARCELLINUS provides a detailed account of the re­ A lations between the Emperor Valens and the Goths during the period 367-378. But essentially because Ammianus does not mention it, there has been much controversy over the date of a Gothic conversion to Christianity ascribed in other sources to the reign of Valens. Equally, because the historians Socrates and So­ zomen link a civil war among the Goths to the conversion, it has also been unclear when this split might have taken place. It will be argued here that the primary accounts found in Socrates, Sozomen, and Eunapius can be reconciled with the secondary ones of Jordanes, Theodoret, and Orosius to suggest a Gothic conversion in 376. Fur­ ther, combined with Ammianus, they strongly indicate that Christian­ ity initially affected only elements of one Gothic group, the Tervingi, and was part of the agreement by which Valens allowed them to cross the Danube and enter the Empire in 376. It also becomes clear that the split too affected only the Tervingi, and occurred immediately before the crossing and conversion. This reconstruction in turn highlights the Huns' role in overturning the established order in Gothic society: their attacks first divided the Tervingi, who were unable to agree on an appropriate response, and prompted the larger group to seek asylum in the Empire and accept conversion to Christianity.

  • Visigoths and Romans: Integration and Ethnicity
    Neal 1 Jennifer Neal May 9, 2011 Final Thesis Visigoths and Romans: Integration and Ethnicity Outside of Inginius’ fine home in Narbo, the January weather was far from pleasant. Inside the main apartments of the house, a woman and man sat beside each other enacting a Christian marriage ceremony. Emblems lay heavy against the woman’s body, indicating her imperial rank. Poised and proper as ever, she glanced again at the man who sat beside her wearing the garb of a Roman general and looking pleased. The audience gazed at her, exclaiming quietly at her beauty and the simple gown that draped from her shoulders. She smiled and turned her attention to the youths standing before her. Fifty young men, all dressed in different colors of silk, held platters that overflowed with gold and jewels so precious they nearly took her breath away. The irony almost drew a laugh from her lips. All of the wealth on those platters might be gifts meant to impress her, but they had been stolen from the coffers of her fellow Roman nobles during the Sack of Rome.1 That woman was Galla Placidia. The year was 414 and Galla Placidia, Roman princess and half-sister of Honorius, emperor of the Western Empire, sat next to Athaulf, barbarian king of the Visigoths.2 Willing as she was to marry Athaulf, there was no disguising the fact that he and his army of barbarians had pillaged her home and the surrounding areas to gain the treasure he now presented to her. Yet for all his Roman trappings, Athaulf was no Roman.

  • Chapter 2 Usurpers in Gaul.Pdf
    1 Chapter 2: Usurpers in Gaul The Gallic provinces faced their own challenges in the first decade of the fifth century. Severe threats to Italy under Stilicho’s regime, specifically the invasions of Alaric (401-402) and of an otherwise unknown Gothic leader named Radagaisus (405-406), forced the MVM to take a series of ad hoc decisions favoring the central provinces over the other regions of the western empire. Stilicho severely reduced the military forces of Gaul in order to supply men for the defense of the Italian peninsula.1 He also allowed the traditional conduct of Roman foreign policy with the barbarians beyond the Rhine/Danube limes to lapse, leading to confusion and tension on the frontiers.2 While Stilicho’s actions were arguably necessary responses to the threats of the period, they nevertheless amounted to a fundamental neglect of imperial management of the Gallic provinces. Under the circumstances, it is perhaps inevitable that such neglect would result in problems for the Honorian regime. The usurpations of Maximus and Eugenius remained a part of living memory and the extension of the control of the Theodosian dynasty into the western empire was a relatively new development.3 The potential for the abuse or rejection of Italian authority was therefore quite real, though it was perhaps an unavoidable risk given the circumstances prevailing in Italy during the first half of the decade. 1 Claudian De Bello Gothico 414-429.

  • Chapter 1: Seventy-Two Hours a Straightforward Account of Alaric's
    Additional Resources for Alaric the Goth (New York: W. W. Norton, 2020) by D. Boin 1 Abbreviations refer to the print publication. Chapter 1: Seventy-Two Hours A straightforward account of Alaric’s accomplishments, presented in the jargon of scholars, can be consulted at PLRE volume 2, 43–48. At the other end of the biographical spectrum is the immensely readable, though highly fictionalized French novel by Marcel Brion, La Vie d’Alaric (Paris: Gallimard, 1930), released in English as Alaric the Goth. There are innumerable discussions of 410, but no book in English has ever woven it into Alaric’s life. Javier Arce’s Alarico (365/370–410 A.D.): La integración frustrada (Madrid: Marcial Pons Historia, 2018), published in Spain, is good at presenting many of the problems related to the interpretation of events in Alaric’s life. Claudian’s quip, “Everyone insults the immigrant,” is at H6, line 198 in Platnauer’s edition (insultant omnes profugo), my translation. Chapter 2: The Trailblazer A good introduction to the northeastern frontier is William Hanson and Ian Haynes (eds.), Roman Dacia: The Making of a Provincial Society (Portsmouth, RI: Journal of Roman Archaeology, 2004). Also excellent is Ioana Oltean’s Dacia: Landscape, Colonization, Romanization (London: Routledge, 2007). Regarding Cleopatra, to be precise, it was her effigy and, by extension, her legacy which was marched through the mud during a humiliating triumph; the queen committed suicide before she could be captured. On provincial society there are good overviews by C. R. Whittaker, Frontiers of the Roman Empire: A Social and Economic Study (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1994) and Hugh Elton, Frontiers of the Roman Empire (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1996).

  • Of Military Identity in the Late Roman West
    22 | The last legions: The “barbarization” of military identity in the Late Roman West Vedran Bileta Original scientific paper UDK 355.11(37) Abstract Traditional scholarship has argued that during the fourth and fifth centuries the waning Roman Empire came to rely to a large extent on recruits of foreign, barbarian origin for its defence. Such a pro-barbarian recruitment policy resulted in the weakening and collapse of Roman military capability in the West, and in the fragmentation and disappearance of the Western Roman state. The article re-examines the “barbarization” theory, following models postulated by M. J. Nicasie and Hugh Elton, as well as the recent results of identity studies focusing on the ancient world. By using the concept of the “barbarian” in political, rather than ethnic terms, the article presents the “barbarization” process not as a prime suspect for the empire’s fall, but as another way for the Roman state to maximize its resources and bolster its defences. Keywords: Late Roman army; identity in Late Antiquity; “barbarization”; empire studies; frontier studies Sometime in 460s, a group of soldiers left the town of Batavis (Passau), in the Roman province of Noricum, to fetch payment for their garrison. On their way to Italy, they were ambushed by barbarians and killed. As the Batavian garrison did not receive the necessary funds, they disbanded, leaving the defence of the town in the hands of the local saint, Severinus, who turned to barbarian armed bands for protection (Eug. Vit. Sev . 20). This little vignette from The Life of Saint Severinus by Eugippius is considered as the last written record of a functioning Roman army in the West.

  • Migrations in the Archaeology of Eastern and Southeastern Europe in the Early Middle Ages (Some Comments on the Current State of Research)
    Chapter 4 Migrations in the Archaeology of Eastern and Southeastern Europe in the Early Middle Ages (Some Comments on the Current State of Research) Florin Curta Historians of the modern era have recently turned Eastern Europe into a vagi- na nationum: the greatest mass migration and even the “making of the free world” are directly related to Eastern Europe.1 Historians studying Late Antiq- uity and the early Middle Ages disagree. They doubt that migration could ex- plain even changes taking place in the region. Walter Goffart sees no reason for Germanic tribes residing in the vastness of Ukraine to emigrate: “if really land hungry, they might have satisfied their needs right where they were”.2 Accord- ing to Guy Halsall, the archaeological record pertaining to East Central Europe in the 3rd century does “not support the idea of a substantial migration”.3 In- stead, one can envision communication lines along the principal trade routes.4 The idea that the Goths migrated out of northern Europe to the fringes of the Empire rests “mainly on the evidence of a single ancient source, the Getica of Jordanes, around which complicated structures of scholarly hypothesis have been built”.5 One could argue in principle that the Sântana de Mureş- Černjachov culture came into being “because of a migration out of the Wiel- bark regions, but one might equally argue that it was an indigenous develop- ment of local Pontic, Carpic, and Dacian cultures”.6 Peter Heather, however, is skeptical about skepticism. To him, there can be no doubt that the Wielbark people morphed into the Sântana de Mureş- Černjachov people, who became Goths in the course of a century-long migra- tion across Eastern Europe, from the Baltic to the Black Sea.7 Similarly, the 1 Zahra, Great Departure.

  • HEATHER, a New History of Rome and the Barbarians
    The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians. By PETER HEATHER. Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2006. Pp. xvi + 572 + 16 maps + 27 b/w photos. Cloth, $40.00. ISBN 0–19–515954–3. The question of what happened to the Roman Empire fascinates both a broad public and the scholarly world. From a European and text-based perspective, the fall of the empire represents the end of the Classical world, and with it a decline in literacy, urbanism and other signs of “civilization.” In the minds of many people, Roman civilization was a golden age of art, literature and law. Since the Renaissance, European and North American societies have widely adopted Roman architectural and sculptural traditions, as well as laws and both legal and medical terms. Historians, Classicists and anthropologists find the question of Rome’s decline of enduring professional interest. Gibbon’s History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, written at the height of the Enlightenment, became a standard version, though it was only one of many attempts to synthesize and interpret what happened between the 3rd and the 6th centuries. The diversity of explanations that have been proposed is represented in Alexander Demandt’s Der Fall Roms (1984), in which the author groups them into six main categories. Anthropological archaeologists have embraced the topic of the decline of empires as a worldwide phenomenon. The fall of Rome is examined as one of many collapses of civilizations, along with others such as the Indus Valley civilization of south Asia, the Shang of east Asia, and the Maya of central America.

Available from The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History library. Quick Copy View. H43 Place Hold. Add To List. The death of the Roman Empire is one of the perennial mysteries of world history. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Peter Heather proposes a stunning new solution: Centuries of imperialism turned the neighbors Rome called barbarians into an enemy capable of dismantling an Empire that had dominated their lives for so long. A leading authority on the late Roman Empire and on the barbarians, Heather relates the extraordinary story of how Europe's barbarians, transformed by centuries of contact with Rome on every possible level, eventually pulled the empire apart. He shows first how the Huns overturned the existing strategic balance of power on Rome's European frontiers, to force the Goths and others to seek refuge inside the Empire. This prompted two generations of struggle, during which new barbarian coalitions, formed in response to Roman hostility, brought the Roman west to its knees. The Goths first destroyed a Roman army at the battle of Hadrianople inand went on to sack Rome in We then meet Attila the Hun, whose reign of terror swept from Constantinople to Paris, but whose death in ironically precipitated a final desperate phase of Roman collapse, culminating in the Vandals' defeat of the massive Byzantine Armada: the west's last chance for survival.
