BETWEEN DISSENT AND PRAISE, BETWEEN SACRED AND SECULAR: Corippus against the African background of the Three Chapters controversy In recent decades, a considerable array of invaluable researches has provided a thorough investigation of, and cast a definite light on the so- called Three Chapters controversy, which, in spite of its origin in Justin- ian’s attempt at regaining ecclesiastical and political unity, was fated to provoke one of the most serious and long-lasting schisms of the early Middle Ages. This involved an intricate web of relationships between East and West, between the empire and the papacy, and enabled the emergence of a thrust for autonomy on the part of the newly estab- lished Germanic kingdoms and the local churches.1 Such a dense pe- 1 As stated in the preface of the volume recently edited by C. Chazelle – C. Cubitt, The Crisis of the Oikoumene.

Modéran, L’Afrique reconquise et les Trois Chapitres, pp. 39-82, which is of particular concern for the present study. In addition to the classic and seminal inquiry by W. Pewesin, Imperium, Ecclesia universalis, Rom. Der Kampf der Afrikanischen Kirche um die Mitte des 6. Jahrhunderts, Stuttgart, Kohlhammer, 1937, pp. 150- 158, the issue is also debated by J.

TOMMASI MORESCHINI riod therefore represents the ideal setting for elucidating the complex relationship between imperial power and ecclesiastical hierarchy, which, as clearly attested to by the vicissitudes in the aftermath of Chalcedon, balances the subtleties of theological formulas with diplomatic manoeu- vres and sudden changes of position.2 However, in order to differentiate from the aforementioned inves- tigations, the present study will approach the question from a different perspective – namely, how the events were reshaped in different sourc- es and what reasons are implied in these choices – and, in particular, it will take into account some authors that have so far been neglected in research. It seems worth quoting at the beginning a passage from Corippus’ Io- hannis (7,480-94), for the so-called Three Chapters controversy takes place in the very years when the poet moved from Carthage to Constantinople, because of the fame gained by the deliverance of his Iohannis, an epic poem that celebrates the victory of the Byzantine general John Troglite over the rebellious Moors in a recently reconquered Africa: 3 dello scisma, in Ambrosiana Ecclesia. Studi sulla chiesa milanese e l’ecumene cristiana fra tarda antichità e medioevo, Milan, NED, 1993, pp. 97-130, is quite significant in order to understand the theological and doctrinal concerns which were at stake during the controversy. These studies are the basis for some of the following reflections. 2 On the council of Chalcedon and its legacy see (mainly from a theological perspec- tive) A. Grillmeier – H.

  • The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the D
    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.

  • The Exiled Bishops of Constantinople from the Fourth to the Late Sixth Century
    Studia Ceranea 5, 2015, p. 231–247 ISSN: 2084-140X DOI: 10.18778/2084-140X.05.07 e-ISSN: 2449-8378 Rafał Kosiński (Białystok) The Exiled Bishops of Constantinople from the Fourth to the Late Sixth Century he existence of quick and efficient communication with the provincial territo- Tries was a matter of vital importance to Late-Antique Constantinople, the cap- ital city and the administrative centre of the Eastern Roman Empire. As a result, it became necessary to ensure the creation and maintenance of the land and sea routes linking the City with the provinces. The present article aims to examine which of those links, specifically by land or sea, facilitated a more rapid and conve- nient communication between the capital city and the more or less distant regions of the Empire, as exemplified by the various places of exile connected with the deposed bishops of Constantinople. Assuming that one of the key goals of sending someone into banishment would be to prevent them, as much as possible, from having any form of communication with the City, the location of the places to which they had been confined by the order of the authorities could indicate which method of contact would have potentially made it easier, or more difficult, for an exiled bishop to communicate with his followers at the capital1. In the early Byzantine period, the office of the Bishop of Constantinople was not a very secure position. Considering the time frame from the consecration of the City until the end of the sixth century, as many as 11 metropolitan bish- ops, in effect every third one, had been deposed from their office.

  • Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation
    Empire of Hope and Tragedy: Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian Swain Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Timothy Gregory, Co-advisor Anthony Kaldellis Kristina Sessa, Co-advisor Copyright by Brian Swain 2014 Abstract This dissertation explores the intersection of political and ethnic conflict during the emperor Justinian’s wars of reconquest through the figure and texts of Jordanes, the earliest barbarian voice to survive antiquity. Jordanes was ethnically Gothic - and yet he also claimed a Roman identity. Writing from Constantinople in 551, he penned two Latin histories on the Gothic and Roman pasts respectively. Crucially, Jordanes wrote while Goths and Romans clashed in the imperial war to reclaim the Italian homeland that had been under Gothic rule since 493. That a Roman Goth wrote about Goths while Rome was at war with Goths is significant and has no analogue in the ancient record. I argue that it was precisely this conflict which prompted Jordanes’ historical inquiry. Jordanes, though, has long been considered a mere copyist, and seldom treated as an historian with ideas of his own. And the few scholars who have treated Jordanes as an original author have dampened the significance of his Gothicness by arguing that barbarian ethnicities were evanescent and subsumed by the gravity of a Roman political identity. They hold that Jordanes was simply a Roman who can tell us only about Roman things, and supported the Roman emperor in his war against the Goths.

  • Basiliscus the Boy-Emperor , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 24:1 (1983:Spring) P.81
    CROKE, BRIAN, Basiliscus the Boy-Emperor , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 24:1 (1983:Spring) p.81 Basiliscus the Boy-Emperor Brian Croke OR THE FIFTH AND SIXTH centuries the Chronicle of Victor of F Tunnuna is a valuable source that deserves close inspection. What may not always be sufficiently appreciated, because Victor is most frequently referred to as an African bishop and because he wrote in Latin, is that he spent a good deal of his later life in Con­ stantinople. His Chronicle, which covers the years 444-567, was in fact written in Constantinople and is a generally well-informed source for events in the East during this period.1 Like so many other African bishops, Victor fell foul of his sover­ eign Justinian by defending the works condemned by the emperor in 543 in the so-called Three Chapters edict. This resulted in a trying period of internment for Victor in the Mandracion monastery near Carthage, then on the Balearic Islands, then Algimuritana, and finally with his episcopal colleague Theodore of Cebaruscitana in the prison of the Diocletianic fortress behind the governor's palace in Alexan­ dria (Chron. s.a. 555.2, p.204). In 556 after a twelve-day trial in the praetorium Victor and Theodore were transferred to the Tabennesiote monastery near Canopus, twelve miles east of Alexandria (556.2, p.204). Nine years later, at the request of Justinian himself, Victor and Theodore were summoned from Egypt. At the imperial court they stood their ground in the argument over the 'Three Chapters' with both Justinian and the patriarch Eutychius.

    NJ378 - ch08 8/6/04 3:05 pm Page 163 Chapter 8 The So-called Laterculus Regum Vandalorum et Alanorum: A Sixth-century African Addition to Prosper Tiro’s Chronicle?1 Roland Steinacher In 1898 Theodor Mommsen identified three manuscript fragments as the remains of a more detailed chronicle of the Vandal kingdom. Mommsen found these fragments in four codices: Par. Lat. 4860, which he defined as a copy of a so called Augiensis,2 Matr. univ. 134 from Madrid, Codex No. 223 from Augsburg and Codex Osmensis, known only from descriptions. In his edition of the Laterculus Regum Vandalorum et Alanorum, which he distinguished from the chronicle of Prosper, Mommsen suggested that the text was composed as a separate chronicle. Holder-Egger had not recognized this independence in his own examination of Prosper’s Chronicle, written shortly before Mommsen’s edition. Scholarship since Mommsen has used only this edition in the Chronica Minora III and has valued the text chiefly for its supposed use of diplomas and hence the precision of its dating. This chapter argues that the text of the Laterculus did not originate in diplomas, but belonged to an African version of Prosper’s chronicle. I propose a new edition, which puts the text back in its original context. Rather than looking for ‘good’ and ‘bad’ texts according to nineteenth-century categories, I try to analyse the specific character of each manuscript under consideration. 1 This essay derives from my thesis ‘Der Laterculus Regum Wandalorum et Alanorum.

  • Justinian I the Great of Macedonia
    Basil Chulev JUSTINIAN I THE GREAT - MACEDONIAN IMPERATOR OF KONSTANTINOPOLITANA NOVA ROMA Skopje, Macedonia 2016 2 The intention of this essay is to provide simple and easy to understand retrospective of periods from medieval Macedonian and Eastern Romeian Empires history and culture. It avoids substantial and detailed explanations that consider wider historical background of the events and persons described below, and is written primarily for those approaching the topic for the first time. It also avoids complex explanatory comments or insightful footnotes on the citations from the sources. The explanatory notes are prevalently etymological. The time-frame of this essay ranges from the rule of Justin I until the end of the rule of Justinian I the Great. The interpretations given here are meant to enhance our understanding and appreciation of the Macedonian and Romeian empires that were a superpowers of the medieval world. They are focused mainly on the Macedonian aspect of the story disregarding the wider historical or socio-political perspective. All the dates and references to centuries are „AD “ except where indicated otherwise. Throughout this essay, Macedonia/Macedonians refer to the area of the mainland north of Mount Olymp. Macedonian peninsula refers to so-called 'Balkans.' Latinized/Anglicized or Macedonic names are given in parenthesis, some names and technical terms are transliterated and these will be obvious when they appear. Other technical terms and titles (e.g. Romeo, drougarrios, etc.) have been transliterated directly from their original forms with as few changes as possible: thus drouggarios rather than ' droungarios , which is neither “ Greek ” nor Latin. The terminology and concepts that are post factum inventions (like 'Balkans ' or 'Byzantium ') are largelly ignored, if not altogether avoided.
