Church, Society, and the Sacred in Early Christian Greece CHURCH, SOCIETY, AND THE SACRED IN EARLY CHRISTIAN GREECE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By William R. Caraher, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved By Professor Timothy E. Gregory, Adviser Professor James Morganstern Professor Barbara Hanawalt _____________________ Adviser Professor Nathan Rosenstein Department of History ABSTRACT This dissertation proposes a social analysis of the Early Christian basilicas (4th-6th century) of Southern and Central Greece, predominantly those in the Late Roman province of Achaia. After an introduction which places the dissertation in the broader context of the study of Late Antique Greece, the second chapter argues that church construction played an important role in the process of religions change in Late Antiquity. The third chapter examines Christian ritual, architecture, and cosmology to show that churches in Greece depended upon and reacted to existing phenomena that served to promote hierarchy and shape power structures in Late Roman society. Chapter four emphasizes social messages communicated through the motifs present in the numerous mosaic pavements which commonly adorned Early Christian buildings in Greece. The final chapter demonstrates that the epigraphy likewise presented massages that communicated social expectations drawn from both an elite and Christian discourse. Moreover they provide valuable information for the individuals who participated in the processes of church construction. After a brief conclusion, two catalogues present bibliographic citations for the inscriptions and architecture referred to in the text. The primary goal of this dissertation is to integrate the study of ritual, architecture, and social history and to demonstrate how Early Christian architecture played an important role in affecting social change during Late Antiquity. ii To My Parents iii AKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost I want to thank my family for their generous emotional, intellectual, and financial support. My parents and two brothers have stood behind my academic endeavors from their first wobbly steps. My uncle Joseph Reynolds has read various drafts of conference papers and contributed comments. My late Grandfather, Peter G. Reynolds, provided me with the inspiration for pursuing history as my main line of research, and it saddens me that he could not share in my progress. My Grandmother Elizabeth Y. Reynolds has always encouraged my study in every way. Special thanks go to all my friends who have seen me through crucial phases of my rather lengthy journey. In particular I must thank Mike Fronda and Jen Brecht for their always hospitable, if not always relaxing, table, kitchen, and barbeque. Mike, David Pettegrew, Dan Sarefield, and Jack Wells also played an important part in my intellectual development as they were subjected to various drafts of chapters, proposals, and papers. Kristin Di Bernardo, Adelia Gregory, and Grace Cheow also edited and read drafts at various stages. In Athens, James Wells, Jennifer Palinkas, Angela Volan, Christine Smith, Mike Lippman, Sarah Lepinski, Sulo Asirvatham, Craig Hardimann, Rangar Cline, Bronwen Wickkiser, and Hilda Westerveld entertained and encouraged me iv intellectually and socially. Catherine Hammer has perhaps suffered the most graciously as this project staggered toward its end and assisted in assembling and preparing the images. Finally, I would be remiss if I did not give a “shout out” to all the ‘ballers at J.O. North and to all my friends from Wilmington, “a place to be somebody”, indeed. For professional help of various kinds (pun intended), I must thank Richard Rothaus for providing me with an early draft of a chapter from his book on Late Roman Korinth, Guy Sanders for discussing various matters of Late Antiquity, Yannis Varalis, for allowing me to see part of his comprehensive catalogue of the churches of Illyricum Orientalis, and Rebecca Sweetman for sharing her on-going work at the basilica at Sparta and on Late Roman mosaics. Judith Binder both made and fielded numerous inquiries regarding the churches of Athens. Mike Dixon provided me with a copy E. Sironen’s 1997 dissertation on the Late Roman and Early Byzantine inscriptions of Attica when it was very difficult to acquire in the U.S. Walter Stevenson, who read and commented on various drafts, and Stuart Wheeler have always encouraged my academic pursuits. Joseph Rife has always lent a sympathetic and critical ear to my various ideas. Pierre MacKay, Linda Hall, and Molly Richardson also provided criticism, bibliography, and encouragement. The members of the Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey and the Australian Palaiochora Kythera Archaeological Survey have more or less patiently endured my marginally coherent ranting about architecture, space and other frontiers. At The Ohio State University I received generous funding from the Department of History, the Graduate School, and the Office of International Education. The American School of Classical Studies at Athens provided me with two fellowships as an Associate Member and a distraction free place to smooth out the accumulated wrinkles in my thought and v text. The Blegen Library staff, especially Phyllis Graham and Camilla MacKay, always welcomed me to the fringes of their collection, while the staff of the Gennadius Library exceeded their reputation for efficiency and good cheer. Jack Balcer introduced me to Greece and graduate school in his seminars and lectures on the Bronze Age, Classical, and Hellenistic Eastern Mediterranean. Nathan Rosenstein taught me how to be resilient and critical in his brutal Roman History seminars. James Morganstern guided me to the proper study of Byzantine architecture. This dissertation would not have been possible, however, without the unfailing support and encouragement of my advisor Timothy Gregory who provided me at various times with funding, housing, food, and transportation, as well as advice and criticism. Above all he was patient with my antics and schedule. In a world driven by a rather pointless and paradoxical brand of hyper-professionalism he showed me that humanity and academia were not mutually exclusive. Needless to say, the problems in this current work reflect entirely my reluctance to consider fully these individuals’ careful counsel. vi VITA April 28, 1972………………………………………Born 1994………………………………………….……...B.A., University of Richmond, Richmond College, Richmond, VA 1996…………………………………………………M.A., The Ohio State University 2001-2003…………………………………………..American School of Classical Studies at Athens 1994-2003…………………………………………..Graduate Teaching and Research Assistant, The Ohio State University Major Field: History vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract............................................................................................................................... ii Dedication.......................................................................................................................... iii Aknowledgments ............................................................................................................... iv Vita.................................................................................................................................... vii List of Plans .........................................................................................................................x Abbreviations.....................................................................................................................xv Chapter 1: Introduction........................................................................................................1 1.1.

  • Visualizing the Byzantine City the Art of Memory
    Abstracts Visualizing the Byzantine City Charalambos Bakirtzis Depictions of cities: in the icon “Allegory of Jerusalem on High,” two cities are depicted, one in the foothills and the other at the edge of a rocky mountain. The lengthy inscription of the icon is of interest from a town-planning and architectural standpoint. The imperial Christian city: in the mosaics of the Rotunda in Thessalonike, the city is not shown with walls, but with palaces and other splendid public buildings, declaring the emperor’s authority as the sole ruler and guarantor of the unity of the state and the well-being of cities, which was replaced by the authority of Christ. The appearance of the walled city: all the events shown in the mosaics (seventh century) of the basilica of St. Demetrios are taking place outside the walls of the city, probably beside the roads that lead to it. The city’s chora not only protected the city; it was also protected by it. A description of the city/kastron: John Kameniates lived through the capture of Thessalonike by the Arabs in the summer of 904. At the beginning of the narrative, he prefixes a lengthy description/encomium of Thessalonike. The means of approaching the place indicate that the way the city is described by Kameniates suits a visual description. Visualizing the Late Byzantine city: A. In an icon St. Demetrios is shown astride a horse. In the background, Thessalonike is depicted from above. A fitting comment on this depiction of Thessalonike is offered by John Staurakios because he renders the admiration called forth by the large Late Byzantine capitals in connection with the abandoned countryside.

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

Its contribution to the historiography of the period stems from the fact that it constitutes the first academic study of the third largest resistance organisation in Greece, the 5/42 regiment of evzones. The study of this national resistance organisation can thus extend our knowledge of the Greek resistance effort, the political relations between the main resistance groups, the conditions that led to the civil war and the domestic relevance of British policies.
