  • Cassiodorus Chronicle Edition Mommsen, 1894; English Translation Bouke Procee, 2014
    Cassiodorus Chronicle Edition Mommsen, 1894; English translation Bouke Procee, 2014. Introduction Flavius Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus Senator (c. 485 – c. 585), commonly known as Cassiodorus, was a Roman statesman and writer, serving in the administration of Theoderic the Great, king of the Ostrogoths at Ravenna, Italy. Senator was part of his surname, not his rank. His best known work is his Variae, a letter collection, written as an example book for high official scribes. Cassiodorus wrote his chronicle for Eutharic, husband of Amalasuintha, the daughter of King Theoderic the Great, and heir apparent to Theoderic's throne. Most likely he did this in 519, the year that Eutharic was consul, together with Justin, the Eastern emperor. He used as sources material from Livy, Jerome, Prosper of Aquitaine and Eutropius, which he epitomized and adapted for his own purpose. Two manuscripts of Cassiodorus' chronicle survive: Parisinus Latinus 4860, a tenth-century manuscript, kept in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris; and Monacensis 14613, written in the eleventh century, and kept in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich. Mommsen published an edition based on these manuscripts in 1894, in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, Auctores Antiquissimi 11, pp. 109-1611. This edition is shown below, alongside the English translation. CHRONICA MAGNI AURELII CASSIODORI CHRONICLE OF MAGNUS AURELIUS CASSIODORUS SENATOR, vir SENATORIS v.c. et inl., ex questore sacri palatii, ex clarissimus and inlustris, ex-quaestor of the sacred palace, ex-consul, ex- cons. ord., ex mag. off., ppo atque patricii. magister officiorum, praetorian prefect and patrician. 1 PRAEFATIO.

Thesis Examination Committee Abstract The objective of this thesis is to fully deconstruct and isolate the considerable Samnite contributions to the Roman state during the period of the Samnite Wars. Although the literary sources have espoused a Samnitic origin for many Roman institutions, very little academic focus has been directed towards these claims. Scholars have generally tended to focus on one or two of these claims only as part of a larger argument.

Therefore, I give my deepest thanks and love to my mother, without whose warnings my eyesight would have no doubt deteriorated irrevocably due to extensive periods of reading and writing; to my sister, who always knew how to cheer me up when I felt most distressed; to my father, who did not refrain his support even though there are thousands of km between us and to Rita, whose memory still continues to live in my heart. As this thesis was written in Ankara (Ancyra) between August-November 2016, I also must offer my gratitudes to this once Roman city, for its idyllic park “Seğmenler” and its trees and birds offered their much needed comfort when I struggled with making sense of fragmentary late antique chronicles and for it also houses the British Institute at Ankara, of which invaluable library helped me find some books that I was unable to find anywhere else in Ankara. I also thank all members of www.romanarmytalk.com, as I have learned much from their discussions and Gabe Moss from Ancient World Mapping Center for giving me permission to use two beautifully drawn maps in my work.

  • I. Introduction This Study Deals with North Africa in the Vandal Period, Putting Especially the Archaeology of the Era in Its Focus
    I. Introduction This study deals with North Africa in the Vandal period, putting especially the archaeology of the era in its focus. The Vandals entered Africa in 429, crossing the strait of Gibraltar as a mixed war-band, the core of which had crossed the Rhine into Gaul nearly 30 years be- fore and spent most of the time in-between in Hispania, in different alliances and relations to Romans, Alans, Goths, Suebi and others. Geiseric, king of the royal family of the Has- dings, led this inhomogeneous group, which became to be known simply as ‘the Vandals’ to Africa1. The crucial year of the Vandal era in North Africa was the year 439 when Geis- eric and his army captured Carthage and made it the capital of a kingdom that would last for almost 100 years, until in 533 a Byzantine army invaded North Africa and the last Van- dal king Gelimer surrendered in 534. Between 439 and 533, the Vandal kingdom showed continuity in regard to late Roman North Africa in many aspects of culture and economy, but also produced discontinuities and disruptions in military and religious affairs. The rul- ership system and the nature of the stated changed – from an imperially controlled set of provinces to an autonomous state ruled by a royal family. The perspective from which Vandal North Africa is approached in this study is an archaeological one. The book espe- cially has questions of the governance of Vandal North Africa as overall topic, and will take into account how Vandal rulership affected society in North Africa in general in that period.

  • The Soldier's Life: Martial Virtues and Hegemonic Masculinity in the Early
    The Soldier’s Life: Martial Virtues and Hegemonic Masculinity in the Early Byzantine Empire Michael Edward Stewart BA, MA A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in May 2012 School of History, Philosophy, Religion, and Classics - Abstract This dissertation argues that martial virtues and images of the soldier’s life represented an essential aspect of early Byzantine masculine ideology. It contends that in many of the visual and literary sources from the fourth to the seventh centuries CE, conceptualisations of the soldier’s life and the ideal manly life were often the same. By taking this stance, the dissertation challenges the view found in many recent studies on Late Roman masculinity that a Christian ideal of manliness based on extreme ascetic virtues and pacifism had superseded militarism and courage as the dominant component of hegemonic masculine ideology. Though the study does not reject the relevance of Christian constructions of masculinity for helping one understand early Byzantine society and its diverse representations of masculinity, it seeks to balance these modern studies’ often heavy emphasis on hagiographical Christian sources with the more customary attitudes we find in the secular, and indeed some Christian texts, praising military virtues as an essential aspect of Roman manliness. Indeed, the reader of this dissertation will find that the “manliness of war” is on display in much of the surviving early Byzantine literature, secular and Christian. Chapter 1 examines how modern historians formulate and use “masculinity” as a tool of historical inquiry. It provides a brief summary of the growth of gender studies in the past forty years, and explores some the current debates surrounding “masculinity” as a viable tool of historical enquiry.

ANCIENT ROME 1 At the height of the Roman Empire, Rome's influence reached as far north as Hadrian's Wall in present day England, as far south as Egypt, and as far east as present day Turkey and Syria. I) INTRODUCTION Ancient Rome was a civilization that started as a small agricultural community on the Italian Peninsula in the 9th century BC. In its twelve centuries of existence, Roman civilization came to dominate Western Europe and the area surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. Ancient Rome can be divided into three periods. Founded in 753 BC, it was first ruled by kings. Then, in 509 BC, a republic was established. The republic became an empire in 27 BC. That empire lasted for almost 500 years. But in the fourth century the Roman Empire was divided into two parts. Soon, the western part of the empire went into decline and its ruler was deposed by a barbarian leader in 476. The eastern part became the Byzantine Empire and lived on for another millennium. Because of the Roman Empire, Roman culture spread to Western Europe and the area surrounding the Mediterranean Sea.

The Emperors Gratian, Valentinian, and Theodosius to the people of the City of Constantinople. We desire that all peoples subject to Our benign Empire shall live under the same religion that the Divine Peter, the Apostle, gave to the Romans, and which the said religion declares was introduced by himself, and which it is well known that the Pontiff Damasus, and Peter, Bishop of Alexandria, a man of apostolic sanctity, embraced; that is to say, in accordance with the rules of apostolic discipline and the evangelical doctrine, we should believe that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit constitute a single Deity, endowed with equal majesty, and united in the Holy Trinity. (1) We order all those who follow this law to assume the name of Catholic Christians, and considering others as demented and insane, We order that they shall bear the infamy of heresy; and when the Divine vengeance which they merit has been appeased, they shall afterwards be punished in accordance with Our resentment, which we have acquired from the judgment of Heaven. Dated at Thessalonica, on the third of the Kalends of March, during the Consulate of Gratian, Consul for the fifth time, and Theodosius. 2. The Same Emperors to Eutropius, Prætorian Prefect.
