Episcopal Networks In Late Antiquity

Book by Carmen Angela Cvetković, Episcopal Networks In Late Antiquity Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Episcopal Networks In Late Antiquity books, Recent studies on the development of early Christianity emphasize the fragmentation of the late ancient world while paying less attention to a distinctive feature of the Christianity of this time which is its inter-connectivity. Both local and trans-regional networks of interaction contributed to the expansion of Christianity in this age of fragmentation. This volume investigates a specific aspect of this inter-connectivity in the area of the Mediterranean by focusing on the formation and operation of episcopal networks. The rise of the bishop as a major figure of authority resulted in an increase in long-distance communication among church elites coming from different geographical areas and belonging to distinct ecclesiastical and theological traditions. Locally, the bishops in their roles as teachers, defenders of faith, patrons etc. were expected to interact with individuals of diverse social background who formed their congregations and with secular authorities. Consequently, this volume explores the nature and quality of various types of episcopal relationships in Late Antiquity attempting to understand how they were established, cultivated and put to use across cultural, linguistic, social and geographical boundaries.

Emperors And Ancestors

Book by Olivier Hekster, Emperors And Ancestors Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Emperors And Ancestors books, Ancestry played a continuous role in the construction and portrayal of Roman emperorship in the first three centuries AD. Emperors and Ancestors is the first systematic analysis of the different ways in which imperial lineage was represented in the various 'media' through which images of emperors could be transmitted. Looking beyond individual rulers, Hekster evaluates evidence over an extended period of time and differentiates between various types of sources, such as inscriptions, sculpture, architecture, literary text, and particularly central coinage, which forms the most convenient source material for a modern reconstruction of Roman representations over a prolonged period of time. The volume explores how the different media in use sent out different messages. The importance of local notions and traditions in the choice of local representations of imperial ancestry are emphasized, revealing that there was no monopoly on image-forming by the Roman centre and far less interaction between central and local imagery than is commonly held. Imperial ancestry is defined through various parallel developments at Rome and in the provinces. Some messages resonated outside the centre but only when they were made explicit and fitted local practice and the discourse of the medium. The construction of imperial ancestry was constrained by the local expectations of how a ruler should present himself, and standardization over time of the images and languages that could be employed in the 'media' at imperial disposal. Roman emperorship is therefore shown to be a constant process of construction within genres of communication, representation, and public symbolism.

Das R Mische Spielewesen In Der Sp Tantike

Book by Alexander Puk, Das R Mische Spielewesen In Der Sp Tantike Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Das R Mische Spielewesen In Der Sp Tantike books, Die Lebenskultur der Spätantike war wesentlich durch das römische Spielewesen mit seinen Wagenrennen, Bühnenschauspielen und Arenakämpfen geprägt. Zum ersten Mal in der Forschung wird mit diesem Buch eine Gesamtstudie zum Thema spätrömischer Spiele vorgelegt. Der gesellschaftliche Umgang mit Spielen und ihre soziale Rolle werden am Beispiel der wichtigsten Akteure illustriert: der Kirche, den Herrschern, den städtischen Eliten und dem breiten Publikum. Der Fokus richtet sich dabei besonders auf die Situation in den Provinzen, abseits der Hauptstädte Rom und Konstantinopel. In einer gattungsspezifischen Betrachtung werden die Spektakel im Zirkus, im Theater und in der Arena zudem in ihren jeweils eigenen Entwicklungen untersucht. Neben schriftlichen Quellen basiert die Studie auf einer Vielzahl von epigraphischen, papyrologischen, numismatischen und archäologischen Zeugnissen. Auf diese Weise werden bisherige chronologische Einordnungen hinterfragt und nach Regionen genauer differenziert. Auch der Niedergang einzelner Gattungen wird einer neuen Betrachtung unterzogen. Somit leistet die Untersuchung einen grundlegenden Beitrag zum Verständnis städtischer Lebenskultur zwischen dem 4. und 7. Jahrhundert nach Christus.

Commodus

Book by Olivier Hekster, Commodus Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Commodus books, The emperor Commodus (AD 180-192) has commonly been portrayed as an insane madman, whose reign marked the beginning of the end of the Roman Empire. Indeed, the main point of criticism on his father, Marcus Aurelius, is that he appointed his son as his successor. Especially Commodus' behaviour as a gladiator, and the way he represented himself with divine attributes (especially those of Hercules), are often used as evidence for the emperor's presumed madness. However, this 'political biography' will apply modern interpretations of the spectacles in the arena, and of the imperial cult, to Commodus' reign. It will focus on the dissemination and reception of imperial images, and suggest that there was a method in Commodus' madness.
