  • L 'Évolution Politique De Galia Placidia
    L ‘évolution politique de Galia Placidia EMILLENNE DEMOUGEOT GalIa Placidia, impératrice d’Occident de 425 á sa mort en 450, eut-elle une politique soumise aux événemcnts ou déterminée par quelque dessein délibéré, pendant ce quart de siécle oú régna son flís Valentinien III? Ses biographes, Vito Antonio Sirago en 1961 et Stewart Irwin Oost en 1968, ainsi que Giuseppe Zecchini qui a récemment étudié la défense de l’Occident au temps d’Aetius1 constatent que la vie personnelle dc GalIa Placidia nous échappe et que seule son activité politique nous permet d’appréhender sa personnalité. Or, á l’époque de Justinien, Cassiodore, Procope et l’historien des Goths Jordanes, suivis par l’historicn ecclésiastique Evagre le Scholasti- que (mort vers 600) et Jean d’Antioche au Vílos., imputent á la politique de GalIa Placidia, plus ou moins explicitement, le rapide déclin de l’Empire d’Occident aussitót aprés la mort de son flís Valentinien III. Cette imputation apparait-elle déjá au V0 siécle? Vers la fin du y0 siécle, elle n’apparatt pas dans l’Histoire Nouvelle de Zosime qui traite du déclin de l’Empire chrétien sous les empereurs du IVos., mais s’arr&te á la veille de la prise de Rome par les Wisigoths en 410. Dc méme, elle n’apparait pas, dans la premiére moitié du y0 siécle, chez les historiens contcmporains de GalIa Placidia, tels Orose, Olympiodore et l’historien ecclésiastique Socr~te, ni chez les chroniqueurs occidentaux comme l’Espagnol Hydace, Prosper d’Aquitai- nc et l’Anonyme d’unc Chronica Gallica allant jusqu’en 452, ni encore, au début du V0 siécle, chez le poéte Claudien.

  • Hunnic Warfare in the Fourth and Fifth Centuries C.E.: Archery and the Collapse of the Western Roman Empire
    HUNNIC WARFARE IN THE FOURTH AND FIFTH CENTURIES C.E.: ARCHERY AND THE COLLAPSE OF THE WESTERN ROMAN EMPIRE A Thesis Submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science. TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Copyright by Laura E. Fyfe 2016 Anthropology M.A. Graduate Program January 2017 ABSTRACT Hunnic Warfare in the Fourth and Fifth Centuries C.E.: Archery and the Collapse of the Western Roman Empire Laura E. Fyfe The Huns are one of the most misunderstood and mythologized barbarian invaders encountered by the Roman Empire. They were described by their contemporaries as savage nomadic warriors with superior archery skills, and it is this image that has been written into the history of the fall of the Western Roman Empire and influenced studies of Late Antiquity through countless generations of scholarship. This study examines evidence of Hunnic archery, questions the acceptance and significance of the “Hunnic archer” image, and situates Hunnic archery within the context of the fall of the Western Roman Empire. To achieve a more accurate picture of the importance of archery in Hunnic warfare and society, this study undertakes a mortuary analysis of burial sites associated with the Huns in Europe, a tactical and logistical study of mounted archery and Late Roman and Hunnic military engagements, and an analysis of the primary and secondary literature. Keywords: Archer, Archery, Army, Arrow, Barbarian, Bow, Burial Assemblages, Byzantine, Collapse, Composite Bow, Frontier, Hun, Logistics, Migration Period, Roman, Roman Empire, Tactics, Weapons Graves ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank my thesis advisor, Dr.

The Development of Early Imperial Dress from the Tetrarchs to the Herakleian Dynasty General Introduction The emperor, as head of state, was the most important and powerful individual in the land; his official portraits and to a lesser extent those of the empress were depicted throughout the realm. His image occurred most frequently on small items issued by government officials such as coins, market weights, seals, imperial standards, medallions displayed beside new consuls, and even on the inkwells of public officials. As a sign of their loyalty, his portrait sometimes appeared on the patches sown on his supporters’ garments, embossed on their shields and armour or even embellishing their jewelry. Among more expensive forms of art, the emperor’s portrait appeared in illuminated manuscripts, mosaics, and wall paintings such as murals and donor portraits. Several types of statues bore his likeness, including those worshiped as part of the imperial cult, examples erected by public 1 officials, and individual or family groupings placed in buildings, gardens and even harbours at the emperor’s personal expense.

  • Byzantine Art and Architecture
    Byzantine Art and Architecture Thesis The development of early Christian religion had a significant impact on western art after the fall of the Roman Empire in the 4th century (AD). Through examining various works of art and architecture, it becomes evident that the period of Byzantium marked a significant transition in aesthetic conventions which had a previous focus on Roman elements. As this research entails, the period of Byzantium acted as a link between the periods of Antiquity and the Middle Ages and thus provides insight on the impact of Christianity and its prevalence in art and architecture during this vast historical period.

    The Cambridge Companion to THE AGE OF CONSTANTINE S The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Constantine offers students a com- prehensive one-volume introduction to this pivotal emperor and his times. Richly illustrated and designed as a readable survey accessible to all audiences, it also achieves a level of scholarly sophistication and a freshness of interpretation that will be welcomed by the experts. The volume is divided into five sections that examine political history, reli- gion, social and economic history, art, and foreign relations during the reign of Constantine, a ruler who gains in importance because he steered the Roman Empire on a course parallel with his own personal develop- ment. Each chapter examines the intimate interplay between emperor and empire and between a powerful personality and his world. Collec- tively, the chapters show how both were mutually affected in ways that shaped the world of late antiquity and even affect our own world today. Noel Lenski is Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. A specialist in the history of late antiquity, he is the author of numerous articles on military, political, cultural, and social history and the monograph Failure of Empire: Valens and the Roman State in the Fourth Century ad.
