Readings in Late Antiquity
READINGS IN LATE ANTIQUITY “This is a wonderful anthology. Clear, accessible, and vividly engaging, it presents the panoply of Late Antique life from east to west, from city to village, from the powerful to the humble, from transcendent hopes to ordinary burdens – a world to explore, relish, and ponder.” Susan Ashbrook Harvey, Brown University “Unusually comprehensive and enterprising in its selections, this sourcebook will give an entire new generation a choice and a challenge.” Peter Brown, Princeton University Late Antiquity (c. 250–650) witnessed the transition from Classical Antiquity to the Middle Ages in the Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds. Christianity displaced polytheism over a wide area, offering new definitions of identity and community. The Roman Empire collapsed in western Europe to be replaced by new Germanic kingdoms. In the East, Byzantium emerged, while the Persian Empire reached its apogee and collapsed. Arab armies carrying the banner of Islam reshaped the political map and brought the Late Antique era to a close. This sourcebook illustrates the dramatic political, social and religious trans- formations of Late Antiquity through the words of the men and women who experi- enced them. Drawing from Greek, Latin, Syriac, Hebrew, Coptic, Persian, Arabic, and Armenian sources, the carefully chosen passages illuminate the lives of emperors, abbesses, aristocrats, slaves, children, barbarian chieftains, and saints. The Roman Empire is kept at the centre of the discussion, with chapters devoted to its government, cities, army, law, medicine, domestic life, philosophy, and its Jewish population. Further chapters deal with the peoples who surrounded the Roman state: Persians, Huns, northern barbarians, and the followers of Islam. -

TRANSLATED FROM THE GREEK. Revised by CHESTER D. HARTRANFT, HARTFORD THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. 191 Introduction. ———————————— Salaminius Hermias Sozomen ———————————— Part I.—The Life. 326 NPNF (V2-02) Socrates Scholasticus The name is an unusual and difficult one. It seems desirable to give preference to the order which Photius adopts, but to preserve the spelling in Nicephorus Callistus, and in the captions of the chief manuscripts, and therefore to call him Salaminius Hermias Sozomen. What the term Salaminius indicates, cannot yet be accurately determined. There are no data to show any official connection of Sozomen with Salamis opposite Athens, or Salamis (Constantia) in Cyprus; certainly there is no record of any naval service. In vi. 32, where he speaks of the greater lights of monasticism in Palestine, Hilarion, Hesychas, and Epiphanius, he remarks, “At the same period in the monasteries, Salamines, Phuscon, Malachion, Crispion, four brethren, were highly distinguished.” In the tart controversy between Epiphanius and the empress, the latter had said, “You have not power to revive the dead; otherwise your archdeacon would not have died.” Sozomen explains, “She alluded to Crispion, the archdeacon, who had died a short time previously; he was brother to Phuscon and Salamanus, monks whom I had occasion to mention when detailing the history of events under the reign of Valens” (viii. -

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. -

He received a fine education and entered into the clergy of the Roman Church. After the death of Pope Theodore I (642-649), Martin was chosen to succeed him. At this time the peace of the Church was disturbed by the Monothelite heresy (the false doctrine that in Christ there is only one will. He has a divine, and a human will). The endless disputes of the Monothelites with the Orthodox took place in all levels of the population. Even the emperor Constans (641-668) and Patriarch Paul of Constantinople (641-654) were adherents of the Monothelite heresy. The emperor Constans II published the heretical “Pattern of Faith” (Typos), obligatory for all the population. In it all further disputes were forbidden. The heretical “Pattern of Faith” was received at Rome in the year 649. Saint Martin, a firm supporter of Orthodoxy, convened the Lateran Council at Rome to condemn the Monothelite heresy. -

Please feel free to send me your comments and I hope you enjoy this. David Reed History Of The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire Edward Gibbon, Esq. With notes by the Rev. H. H. Milman Vol. 4 1782 (Written), 1845 (Revised) Chapter XXXIX: Gothic Kingdom Of Italy. Part I.

After the fall of the Roman empire in the West, an interval of fifty years, till the memorable reign of Justinian, is faintly marked by the obscure names and imperfect annals of Zeno, Anastasius, and Justin, who successively ascended to the throne of Constantinople. During the same period, Italy revived and flourished under the government of a Gothic king, who might have deserved a statue among the best and bravest of the ancient Romans. -
POPE ST. EUGENE I JOHN J. HEALY, SJ. the Death of Pope
POPE ST. EUGENE I JOHN J. HEALY, SJ. Alma College HE death of Pope Gregory the Great in 604 marked the end of an T era in Roman history and the beginning of a century of chaos. Rome was still subject to the Emperor of Constantinople, who exer cised his jurisdiction through the Exarch of Ravenna; but the imperial power was growing weaker in the city and at times seemed almost powerless against the increasing anarchy of the citizens. The Em peror could not nominate the Pope, as he could nominate the Patriarch of Constantinople, but the Pope-elect could not be consecrated without the Emperor's approval, and Pope Martin I, who dared to mount the papal throne without waiting for the imperial permission, soon paid a terrible price for his temerity. The great doctrinal controversies of this century raged about the Monothelite heresy, which acknowledged but one will in Christ. This theory of Sergius, Patriarch of Constantinople, was largely a political expedient intended to win back the Monophysites, who held that the Council of Chalcedon had lapsed into Nestorianism when it defined that, even after the Incarnation, Christ has two complete natures, and who, by their opposition to the imperial policies, were proving a serious menace to the safety of the empire in its wars against the Persians and the Arabs. But like many another attempt to promote theological peace by imperial decree, Monothelitism was destined to increase rather than to diminish the disunion in the empire. The "Ecthesis," a Monothelite profession of faith published by Emperor Heraclius in 638, was revoked by his grandson, Constans II, because of the ill will that it produced; but Constans replaced it in 648 with the "Typus," a similar edict which ordered all bishops to approve and accept the theory of Sergius. -
Ravenna, a Study by Edward Hutton</H1>
Ravenna, A Study by Edward Hutton Ravenna, A Study by Edward Hutton Produced by Ted Garvin, Leonard Johnson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. RAVENNA A STUDY BY EDWARD HUTTON ILLUSTRATED IN COLOUR AND LINE by HARALD SUND 1913 TO MY FRIEND ARTHUR SYMONS IN AFFECTIONATE HOMAGE page 1 / 345 PREFACE My intention in writing this book has been to demonstrate the unique importance of Ravenna in the history of Italy and of Europe, especially during the Dark Age from the time of Alaric's first descent into the Cisalpine plain to the coming of Charlemagne. That importance, as it seems to me, has been wholly or almost wholly misunderstood, and certainly, as I understand it, has never been explained. In this book, which is offered to the public not without a keen sense of its inadequacy, I have tried to show in as clear a manner as was at my command, what Ravenna really was in the political geography of the empire, and to explain the part that position allowed her to play in the great tragedy of the decline and fall of the Roman administration. If I have succeeded in this I am amply repaid for all the labour the book has cost me. The principal sources, both ancient and modern, which I have consulted in the preparation of this volume have been cited, but I must here acknowledge the special debt I owe to the late Dr. Hodgkin, to Professor Diehl, to Dr. Corrado Ricci, and to the many contributors to the various Italian Bollettini which I have ransacked. -
Plagues and Diseases in the Liber Pontificalis
VOX PATRUM 78 (2021) 347-364 DOI: 10.31743/vp.12190 Ks. Michał Ludewicz1 “There was a Great Mortality in Rome, more Serious than is Recalled in the Time of any other Pontiff”. Plagues and Diseases in the Liber Pontificalis The experience of illness leaves a profound mark on the history of in- dividuals and societies2. Some scholars even stated that the plague that af- fected the Mediterranean world of the 6th-8th centuries was a breakthrough in marking the turning point between the end of antiquity and the beginning of the Middle Ages3. Ecclesiastical authors who had left some historical writings from that period offer an opportunity to understand, although only in general terms, how plagues and diseases influenced local communities. Scholarly atten- tion has already been given to the historical work of Gregory of Tours and Bede Venerabilis and the way they portrayed the plague in Gaul and Britain respectively4. The aim of this paper is to investigate how the papal biog- raphers, who had composed the Liber Pontificalis, perceived plagues and diseases that threatened Italy, Rome, and their inhabitants. The article is going to demonstrate that the authors of the collection of papal biographies perceived the experience of illness in various contexts: as an event caused 1 Rev.
