OVERVIEW Course description This module traces the transition from Antiquity to the Middle Ages through consideration of key issues such as the barbarian kingdoms, the rise of Byzantium, the origins of Islam, art and aesthetics, urbanism, the countryside, the economy, and the impact of Christianity. It will take a comparative Mediterranean approach, seeking to identify the factors that influenced the different trajectories of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East in this period. It is designed to complement other courses in the MA in Mediterranean Archaeology, but it can also stand on its own to provide advanced training on the classical and medieval Mediterranean for both archaeologists and historians.

  • 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.

  • Chapter 2 Usurpers in Gaul.Pdf
    1 Chapter 2: Usurpers in Gaul The Gallic provinces faced their own challenges in the first decade of the fifth century. Severe threats to Italy under Stilicho’s regime, specifically the invasions of Alaric (401-402) and of an otherwise unknown Gothic leader named Radagaisus (405-406), forced the MVM to take a series of ad hoc decisions favoring the central provinces over the other regions of the western empire. Stilicho severely reduced the military forces of Gaul in order to supply men for the defense of the Italian peninsula.1 He also allowed the traditional conduct of Roman foreign policy with the barbarians beyond the Rhine/Danube limes to lapse, leading to confusion and tension on the frontiers.2 While Stilicho’s actions were arguably necessary responses to the threats of the period, they nevertheless amounted to a fundamental neglect of imperial management of the Gallic provinces. Under the circumstances, it is perhaps inevitable that such neglect would result in problems for the Honorian regime. The usurpations of Maximus and Eugenius remained a part of living memory and the extension of the control of the Theodosian dynasty into the western empire was a relatively new development.3 The potential for the abuse or rejection of Italian authority was therefore quite real, though it was perhaps an unavoidable risk given the circumstances prevailing in Italy during the first half of the decade. 1 Claudian De Bello Gothico 414-429. For discussion, see Drinkwater, “Usurpers”, 271-275; Janssen, Stilicho, 203- 204; Walter Goffart, Barbarian Tides: The Migration Age and the Later Roman Empire (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2006) 95-96; Guy Halsall, Barbarian Migrations and the Roman West, 376-568 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2007) 195-200, 206-211.

  • Chapter 1: Seventy-Two Hours a Straightforward Account of Alaric's
    Additional Resources for Alaric the Goth (New York: W. W. Norton, 2020) by D. Boin 1 Abbreviations refer to the print publication. Chapter 1: Seventy-Two Hours A straightforward account of Alaric’s accomplishments, presented in the jargon of scholars, can be consulted at PLRE volume 2, 43–48. At the other end of the biographical spectrum is the immensely readable, though highly fictionalized French novel by Marcel Brion, La Vie d’Alaric (Paris: Gallimard, 1930), released in English as Alaric the Goth. There are innumerable discussions of 410, but no book in English has ever woven it into Alaric’s life. Javier Arce’s Alarico (365/370–410 A.D.): La integración frustrada (Madrid: Marcial Pons Historia, 2018), published in Spain, is good at presenting many of the problems related to the interpretation of events in Alaric’s life. Claudian’s quip, “Everyone insults the immigrant,” is at H6, line 198 in Platnauer’s edition (insultant omnes profugo), my translation. Chapter 2: The Trailblazer A good introduction to the northeastern frontier is William Hanson and Ian Haynes (eds.), Roman Dacia: The Making of a Provincial Society (Portsmouth, RI: Journal of Roman Archaeology, 2004). Also excellent is Ioana Oltean’s Dacia: Landscape, Colonization, Romanization (London: Routledge, 2007). Regarding Cleopatra, to be precise, it was her effigy and, by extension, her legacy which was marched through the mud during a humiliating triumph; the queen committed suicide before she could be captured. On provincial society there are good overviews by C. R. Whittaker, Frontiers of the Roman Empire: A Social and Economic Study (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1994) and Hugh Elton, Frontiers of the Roman Empire (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1996).

  • Who Were the Eruli?
    © Scandia 2008 www.scandia.hist.lu.se ABvar Elkgird Who were the Eruli? I. The received view In practically all the standard handbooks covering the history of the Germanic tribes,' the Eruli, or Heruli2 are represented as originating somewhere in Scan- dinavia. Thus A. kippold in Der Kleine Pauly (1967) describes them as a Ger- manic tribe, expelled from Scandinavia by the Danes around A.D. 250. In all es- sentials Lippold agrees with B. Rappaport's long article in the unabridged Pau- lys Real-Encyklopadie, 2nd ed. 1913. The same general picture emerges from the shorter and much less specific ar- ticle by R. Much in Hoops' Reallexikon der germanischen Altertumskunde, 2nd ed. 1913. The Eruli are said to have had their original home ("Stamrnsitz") in Scandinavia. Following the sixth-century historian Jordanes, Much declares that the EruIi were driven out by the Danes. After this, part of the tribe settled somewhere in northwest Germany, from where they made an abortive incursion into Gau'l in 287. Another part of the tribe, says Much, accompanied the Goths to the region north of the Black Sea. Much also refers to a very detailed story by the sixth century Greek historian Prokopios, in which a group of Eruli, led by members of their royal family, made a long trek from 1llyricu.m to Scandinavia some time in the beginning of the sixth century. This is described by Much as a "return" ("Riickwanderung") of the tribe to their ancestral home. One of the standard works on the history of the ancient Germanic tribes, by Ludwig Schmidt, has the same story and the same interpretation, both in the first edition (1910) and in the second (1933).

Despite extensive advances in scholarship since 1900, medieval his- torians continue to accept and repeat this revisionist position, a position that is methodologically jejune and that almost completely ignores the social dynamics of millennial beliefs.
