Jeho meno dodnes vyvoláva iracionálny strach. Je stelesnením zla, nočnej mory, ničivej sily, synonymom krutého bojovníka, drsného barbara a lúpežníka. Iní si ho predstavujú iba ako bezohľadného vodcu divých kočovných jazdcov z ďalekej Ázie, ktorí vpadli do Európy, rozvrátili starý poriadok, dali veľké masy obyvateľstva do pohybu a prispeli k rozpadu Rímskej ríše. Jeho skutočný význam je však napriek tomu, alebo skôr práve preto, akoby v úzadí. Zjednotil mnohé barbarské kmene a držal ich v poslušnosti spôsobom ako nikto pred ním a ani nikto po ňom. Jeho moc a autorita bola taká veľká, že nielen mohol, ale aj ohrozoval Rímsku ríšu, i keď nebolo v jeho silách, aby ju naozaj zničil. Žil príliš krátko, aby dokázal upevniť svoju vlastnú ríšu, avšak dosť dlho na to, aby nezvratne zmenil beh dejín. Nikto ho nepovažoval za skvelého voj- vodcu, tobôž nie za vzor alebo hrdinu, a nikto mu nedal prívlastok Veľký, hoci ním nepochybne bol. Namiesto toho mu prischla nelichotivá prezývka Bič Boží, ktorá ešte znásobila strach, ktorý šíril. Niet sporu, že bol nemilosrdný tyran a despota, ale bol naozaj horší, ako iní vládcovia v dejinách ľudstva? Bol horší ako Caesar, ktorý pripravil Galov o nezávislosť, alebo Alexander, ktorý Perža- nom zničil ríšu? Ako ničiteľa ho vnímame najmä preto, že mnoho z toho, čo o ňom vieme, je z pera Rimanov a Grékov, vtedy už zväčša kresťanov. Attila však nebol posledným, kto tento ich svet ohro- zoval. Budeme sledovať osudy kráľov, ktorí prišli po Attilovi, ale väčšina z nich zostala v jeho tieni, a kmeňov, ktoré Hunov porazili alebo si založili svoje ríše na území ohraničenom Karpatmi, Alpami a riekou Sávou, ale až na jeden zanikli skôr, ako k Dunaju prišli noví kočovníci, Avari. 7 kniha.indd 7 12/11/08 8:03:13 PM PETER∂ BYSTRICKÝ 1. HUNI HUNI V EURÓPE Huni ,1 národ rímskymi dejepiscami2 spočiatku prehliadaný, nezmazateľne zasiahol do dejín celej Európy. Boli prvým z troch veľkých neindoeurópskych kočovných spoločenstiev, ktoré sa usadili v Karpatskej kotline. Spočiatku v nich nikto nevidel väčšiu hrozbu, než akú predstavovali ostatné kmene. Kým pozornosť germánskeho sveta upútali už vtedy, keď rozvrátili ríšu gótskych Greutungov , rozkladajúcej sa na východ od Dnestra, antický svet na prítomnosť nového nepriateľa upozornil až rastúci počet utečencov, najmä gótskych Tervingov , sídliacich od Dnestra na západ. Prvou obeťou Hunov boli kočovní Alani . Vačšinu z nich si Huni podrobili, iní našli útočisko až v Hispánii a neskôr v Afrike . Hunov však lákala bohatá a rozvíjajúca sa ríša Greutungov. Góti, nie- koľko rokov čeliaci ich nájazdom, utrpeli okolo roku 375 rozhodujúcu porážku. Nešlo teda o krátky a prudký nápor, ako by sa mohlo zdať, ale o dlhodobý a rastúci tlak. Kráľ Greutungov Ermanarich vraj vzdoroval hunsko-alanským nájazdom „dlho“ (diu) a jeho nástupca Vidimer (Vithimiris) bojo- val proti nim „nejaký čas“ (aliquantisper) a utrpel viacero porážok (multas clades).3 Stopy bojov medzi „gótskym vojskom“ (Hræda4 here) a „ľudom Attilu “ (Ætlan leodum) pri Visle (Wistlawudu) nachádzame aj v anglosaskej básni Widsith .5 Boje opisuje aj islandská Sága o Hervore a kráľovi Heidrekovi Múdrom6 z 13. storočia, podľa ktorej Góti porazili Hunov v bitke na pláni Dún. Prehra a podrobenie jedného z najsilnejších germánskych zväzov vystrašili nielen vzdialenejšie gótske kmene, ktoré sa začali tlačiť viac na západ, ale hlavne Tervingov . Po neúspešných pokusoch zastaviť Hunov Tervingovia opustili svojho vodcu Athanaricha a pod vedením Fritigerna a Alaviva sa spolu s časťou Greutungov , vedených Alatheom a Safrakom, usilovali nájsť záchranu na rímskej strane Dunaja. Tervingovia verní Athanarichovi sa presunuli do zalesnených karpatských hôr (Kau- kaland – Hochland), ktoré im pred hunskými lukostrelcami na koňoch poskytovali lepšiu ochranu ako nížinatá krajina medzi Dunajom a Dnestrom.7 Góti však Rimanom, ktorí im dovolili prekročiť 1 K Hunom pozri BURY, J.

  • Journeys to Byzantium? Roman Senators Between Rome and Constantinople
    Journeys to Byzantium? Roman Senators Between Rome and Constantinople Master’s Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Michael Anthony Carrozzo, B.A Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Thesis Committee: Kristina Sessa, Advisor Timothy Gregory Anthony Kaldellis Copyright by Michael Anthony Carrozzo 2010 Abstract For over a thousand years, the members of the Roman senatorial aristocracy played a pivotal role in the political and social life of the Roman state. Despite being eclipsed by the power of the emperors in the first century BC, the men who made up this order continued to act as the keepers of Roman civilization for the next four hundred years, maintaining their traditions even beyond the disappearance of an emperor in the West. Despite their longevity, the members of the senatorial aristocracy faced an existential crisis following the Ostrogothic conquest of the Italian peninsula, when the forces of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I invaded their homeland to contest its ownership. Considering the role they played in the later Roman Empire, the disappearance of the Roman senatorial aristocracy following this conflict is a seminal event in the history of Italy and Western Europe, as well as Late Antiquity. Two explanations have been offered to explain the subsequent disappearance of the Roman senatorial aristocracy. The first involves a series of migrations, beginning before the Gothic War, from Italy to Constantinople, in which members of this body abandoned their homes and settled in the eastern capital.

  • 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.

  • Frank Royal Ancestry
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY FRANK ROYAL ANCESTRY Introduction by Lars Granholm The Frank empire lasted about 500 years, (300-800 AD) as listed below. It covered approximately the present France and Germany, but during several wars the area changed constantly. Also different areas were split up among sons and other relatives and favorites. After Charlemagne France and Germany were established as separate countries. This presentation begins where the myth turns into history and ends with Charlemagne .

  • The Rhaeto-Romance Languages
    Romance Linguistics Editorial Statement Routledge publish the Romance Linguistics series under the editorship of Martin Harris (University of Essex) and Nigel Vincent (University of Manchester). Romance Philogy and General Linguistics have followed sometimes converging sometimes diverging paths over the last century and a half. With the present series we wish to recognise and promote the mutual interaction of the two disciplines. The focus is deliberately wide, seeking to encompass not only work in the phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and lexis of the Romance languages, but also studies in the history of Romance linguistics and linguistic thought in the Romance cultural area. Some of the volumes will be devoted to particular aspects of individual languages, some will be comparative in nature; some will adopt a synchronic and some a diachronic slant; some will concentrate on linguistic structures, and some will investigate the sociocultural dimensions of language and language use in the Romance-speaking territories. Yet all will endorse the view that a General Linguistics that ignores the always rich and often unique data of Romance is as impoverished as a Romance Philogy that turns its back on the insights of linguistics theory. Other books in the Romance Linguistics series include: Structures and Transformations Christopher J. Pountain Studies in the Romance Verb eds Nigel Vincent and Martin Harris Weakening Processes in the History of Spanish Consonants Raymond Harris-N orthall Spanish Word Formation M.F.

The essay deals with an aspect of these poems, which I has not, so far as know, been treated systematically by- anyone who has previously written on the subject. Thus, in the absence of any model, I have had to work on independent lines, especially as regards the grouping and arrangement of different traditions, and the method of discussion followed in the several chapters. The actual arrangement has been adopted for convenience of discus sion, according to the nationality of the persons concerned, except in cases where a particular section forms a complete epic narrative with a personal (as opposed to a national) interest of its own: in these cases the tradition has been discussed under the heading of the poem in which it is contained, or that of the character round whom the narrative centres.

  • Ethnic Phenomena in Late Antiquity
    136 Wissenschaftskolleg · Jahrbuch 2000/2001 Gheorghe Alexandru Niculescu Ethnic Phenomena in Late Antiquity Born in Bucharest in 1954, I graduated in History in 1978 from the University of Bucharest and took a Ph.D. in 2000 at the same university, where I teach archaeological theory and anthro- pology in the Department of History. Since 1986, I have been a member of the Institute of Archae- ology in Bucharest, working on research themes on the archaeology of the Late Roman Barbari- cum. My current interests are centered on the use of anthropological knowledge for the under- standing of collective identities from Late Antiq- uity, especially on the possibilities it could open up for the archaeological inquiry. – Address: Institutul de Arheologie “Vasile Pa˘rvan”, str. Henri Coanda˘, nr. 11, Bucarest, 71119, Rumania. I came to the Wissenschaftskolleg with the purpose of finishing a paper on the coming of the Goths in Walachia and of preparing an overview of the recent historical research on Late Antique ethnic phenomena. Both are parts of a project which will use what we can know about ancient collective identities for a better understanding of ethnicity. Archaeological research is very important for this project, but for the specific goals pursued in Berlin, it seemed a good idea to leave it out. For my first theme, the current crisis of the archaeological inter- pretation of ethnicity recommended this; for the second, I assumed the existence of significant differences in the ways social sciences are used by historians and archaeologists in their study of Late Antique ethnic phenomena. 1. My research on when and how the Goths came to Walachia, an attempt to do traditional history with the awareness of the influence the representation of ethnic entities might have, was confronted with a dominant view in Romanian literature, produced by historians insensitive to the dangers of mixed argumentation, who still con- ceive their work as a preface to national history.
