St. Maximus de Trier Catholic.net Also known as: Maximin Born: at Silly near Poitiers, France Short Biography: Born to the Gallic nobility. Brother of Saint Maxentius of Poitiers. Educated and ordained by Saint Agritius, whom he succeeded as bishop of Trier in 332 or 335. Trier was the government seat of the Western Empire, and his office put Maximinus close contact with Emperors Constantine II and Constans. Friend of Saint Athanasius of Alexandria, whom he harboured as an honoured guest during his exile from 336 to 338. Received the banished patriarch Paul of Constantinople in 341, and effected his return to Constantinople. Fought Arianism. When four Arian bishops came to Trier in 342 to sway Emperor Constans, Maximinus refused to receive them, and convinced the emperor to reject their proposals. With Pope Julius I and Bishop Hosius of Cordova, he persuaded Emperor Constans to convene the Synod of Sardica in 343, and probably took part in it. Arians considered him one of their chief opponents, and they condemned him by name at their synod of Philippopolis in 343. In 345 he took part in the Synod of Milan, Italy. Presided over a synod at Cologne, Germany in 346 where Bishop Euphratas of Cologne was deposed due to his leanings toward Arianism. Sent Saint Castor and Saint Lubentius as missionaries to the valleys of the Mosel and the Lahn. His cult began right after his death. Died: 12 September 349 or 29 May 352 (records vary) in autumn 353, he was buried in the church of Saint John near Trier in the 7th century the Benedictine abbey of Saint Maximinus was founded there, which flourished till 1802 página 1 / 2 St. Maximus de Trier Catholic.net Patronage: Trier, Germany Representation: bishop with a bear página 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

618 Atha11usius and his Times. [Oct. ARTICLE VI. ATHANASIUS THE COPT, AND HIS TIMES.1 BY NORVELLE WALLACE SHARPE, M.D., F.A.C.S., ST. LOUIS, MO. I. THE Athanasian epoch occurred in the htter portion of the third century and the major portion of the fourth. The predomi nating world power was the Roman Empire, vast in extent, polyglot in its constituents, notably J..acking in the virility and co hesive stability of the preceding centuries, - its art, its science, its literature, its politics, its philosophy, and its religion frankly manifesting the evidence of decadence that but foreshadowed its final doom. Speculative philosophy was the fashion of thought in extra-ecclesiastic circles; speculative religion the vogue prac ticed by the intra-ecclesiastic world. The sound and enduring things are seen to have been masked by casuistic embroid eries; the Spirit of the Law has been smothered by the Let ter: - while Reason of the Forum, Logic of the Schools, and simple Faith of the Sanctuary have been supplanted by Co) liquative Verbiage,.- clamorous progenitor of Confusion. With the exception of the far distant civilizations of China, Japan, and India, the Civilized World may be held, at this period, to be synonymous with the Roman Empire. A single instance will suffice as illustration: Britain was invaded by Julius Cresar B.C. 55; Claudius attempted further conquest nearly a century later; under Julius Agricola A.D. 78-84 1915. ] Athanasius and his Times. 619 Rome attained her maximum of control. In the Athanasian epoch (297-373) the English segment of the Teutoni<; peo ples yet resided on the Continent, crude in civilization, and worshipers of divers gods, of which Tiw, \Voden, Thor, Frea, Saetere, and Eastre spring readily to mind.

Calendar of Roman Events
Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

Hadrian the African: Fact Sheet / Time Line (Michael Wood)
HADRIAN THE AFRICAN – fact sheet Michael Wood, 2020 There is no separate in-depth account of Hadrian and his legacy. The key study of his life is by M Lapidge and B Bischoff Biblical Commentaries from the Canterbury School of Theodore and Hadrian Cambridge 1994 pp82-132. To draw up this fact sheet/time line I have used this along with older studies starting with AS Cook in 1923, and added new finds made over the last few years, the latest by Franck Cinato in 2017. It mainly concentrates on what we might be able to deduce about his life and career in Africa and Naples before he came to England. For all his importance, Hadrian was till recently a poorly studied figure – not least because of the difficulty of finding evidence; but the one certainty is that more is to be discovered. My article on him comes out in the October issue of the BBC History magazine. Any comments or suggestions gratefully received! 1) Hadrian was born in North Africa (in the 620s?) and died in Canterbury on January 9 709 or 710. 2) He was of ‘African race” vir natione Afir (so Bede- Hadrian was alive till Bede was in his thirties.) NB the use of this term by the likes of Virgil, Martial and Statius: it is often specifically used by Latin poets to refer to a native of Libya. Maybe then he was a Berber/Amazigh? Probably as a fluent Greek speaker he was from the Greek-speaking part of North Africa – i.e. Cyrenaica; but where exactly we don’t know.

His reign, 641-668, was the first reign of a Byzantine Emperor where the entire reign was subject to Arab raids and invasions. Constans II also had to contend with the Slavs in Thessalonica and Greece and the Lombards in Italy. To complicate matters more, Constans II was forced to cope with the religious division between the eastern and western churches due to Monothelitism in the East.

Introduction:Imperial and Aristocratic Largesse in Late Antiquity Jeffrey Spier Wealth and Luxury Come to Rome The enormous wealth attained by the Greeks after the conquests of Alexander the Great in the fourth century BC spurred a great interest in luxurious and frequently ostentatious works of art, many of which were created under the patronage of the newly created kings who divided Alexander’s vast empire stretching from Greece to northern India. Gold and silver, gemstones, ivory, and other exotic materials were highly valued and fashioned into beautiful objects, including coins and medallions, plates and cups, personal seals and cameos, miniature sculpture, and all manner of jewelry. Alexander himself allowed only one man, his court engraver, Pyrgoteles, to carve gems with the royal portrait, and surviving gems of the Hellenistic era signed by the artists who carved them demonstrate the high regard for gem engravers in the royal courts.1 The delicate quality of the jewelry discovered in Macedonian tombs of the late fourth and third centuries BC attest to the newly acquired wealth of Greece, and the fashions of the Macedonian royal court quickly spread throughout Alexander’s fragmented empire.

Ni{ i Vizantija XIII 477 Miguel P. Sancho Gómez CONSTANTINE, CONSTANS AND THE COMES REI MILITARIS (306-350) Introduction There are a lot of recent works and accurate historiography concerning the Late Roman Army1; following the original trends of Nischer and Baynes, improved and cleared by Seston and van Berchem2 at the middle of last century, came a number of scholars who tried to explain in a fresh and satisfactory man- ner the many changes after and during the Third Century Crisis and the traumat- ic Military Anarchy upcoming into the so called “New Empire” of Diocletian and Constantine3. Using new approaches, with the findings from archaeological data and making reinterpretations of the often scarce literary sources, it´s pos- sible to add some light to a subject certainly as dark as intriguing. 1 Concerning our time and place, we can sum up with the ultimate research of H.
