Imperium and the City of God
In early fifth-century Roman Africa, Augustine faced pagan opponents who thought that the Roman empire was at risk because Christian emperors banned the worship of its gods, and that Christian ethics were no way to run an empire. He also faced Christian opponents who held that theirs was the true Church, and that the Roman empire was the oppressive power of Babylon. For Augustine, Church and empire consist of people. Everyone belongs either to th…
In Praise of the Wax Candle
Three lines survive from Augustine’s poem in praise of the wax candle. This chapter takes them as the starting point for considering his changing views on poetry. It asks why he did not quote poets of his own time, notably Paulinus and Prudentius, and why his own writings are rarely discussed as late Latin literature. Augustine held that metre, as ordered rhythm, could be an image of divine order. He saw that Ambrose’s metrical hymns could reach …

Causation and Creation in Late Antiquity
Written by a group of leading scholars, this unique collection of essays investigates the views of both pagan and Christian philosophers on causation and the creation of the cosmos. Structured in two parts, the volume first looks at divine agency and how late antique thinkers, including the Stoics, Plotinus, Porphyry, Simplicius, Philoponus and Gregory of Nyssa, tackled questions such as: is the cosmos eternal? Did it come from nothing or from so…
The Foundling Hospital and Its Token System
The governors of the Foundling Hospital, from its foundation in 1741, set up a system of tokens to act as identifiers that would allow families to have their children returned to them. An inventory of admissions records revealed an extraordinary variety of objects used as tokens and showed that children were generally sent adequately provided with identifiers; the hospital made good any deficiencies. The purpose of tokens as identifiers has been …

Running the empire
Peace and order were the basic duties of Roman government. ‘Running the empire’ explains how these duties were achieved or unfulfilled. The reigns and styles of government of emperors such as Diocletian, Constantine and Theodosius I, are examined. What exactly were the powers of Roman emperors? Was he considered divine? Who else could acquire power, and what was the status of women within the empire? Why was it so important for the emperor to att…
Late Antiquity
The time known as late antiquity (c.300-c.800) was a fascinatingly diverse and important period which saw the 'Fall of Rome' and the growth of Christianity and Islam. Gillian Glark explores its historical controversies and demonstrating the transition between the medieval and ancient

The Role of Mother and Baby Homes in the Adoption of Children Born Outside Marriage in Twentieth-Century England and Wales
This article looks at the role of mother and baby homes in the twentieth century in providing unmarried pregnant girls with accommodation and support while making decisions about their future, one option being to have their children adopted. It examines staffing and conditions, funding and management and the need that kept homes in existence until about 1970. It proposes that the unforgiving attitude of families and rejection of the girls by the …
Rod, Line and Net
Augustine of Hippo is especially appropriate for the theme of this volume. He is acknowledged as a Father and Doctor of the Church, that is, as an authoritative Christian writer from the early centuries of the Church, and as a major theologian. Patristics, the study of the Fathers, used to be where it all started in terms of Church teaching: wherever possible, doctrines and practices were traced back to the Fathers. In the last half-century of ea…

From the Exiles' Return to the Dedication Synod of Antioch
This chapter examines the complex events of 337-341, arguing that the returning exiles were probably not re-deposed on the basis of new synods, but of the earlier ones. The Dedication Synod of 341 was, if not the voice of the ‘moderate majority’ of Eastern bishops, at least a breath of fresh air on the Eastern ecclesiastical scene, allowing new voices to be heard such as that of Basil of Ancyra. The synod’s creeds and its reply to the letter of J…
Christianity and Roman Society
Early Christianity in the context of Roman society raises important questions for historians, sociologists of religion and theologians alike. This work explores the differing perspectives arising from a changing social and academic culture. Key issues concerning early Christianity are addressed, such as how early Christian accounts of pagans, Jews and heretics can be challenged and the degree to which Christian groups offered support to their mem…
Philosophy and Power in the Graeco-Roman World
Women and Asceticism in Late Antiquity
This paper takes one kind of historical approach to the question of origins and meanings: it seeks to consider late antique asceticism in relation to a social context which in recent years, thanks to some brilliant and persuasive writing, has become more clearly visible. It asks what ascetics were reacting against or refusing, what signals their lifestyles sent within a particular cultural range, whether late antique asceticism was an intensifica…

Translating relics
This article uses a little‐known sermon by Victricius, bishop of Rouen, as an approach to the fourth‐century debate on the translation of relics. In the last third of the fourth century, the cult of martyrs and their relics was promoted by Damasus of Rome, Paulinus of Nola and Ambrose of Milan, but remained controversial in the western churches. Roman law forbade the disturbance of dead bodies, especially where magic was suspected. Christians as …
Philosophic Lives and the Philosophic Life
This chapter examines the philosophic biography of Platonist philosophers Porphyry and Iamblichus. It provides commentaries on some of the biographical works of these philosophers including Porphyry's On Abstinence and Life of Plotinus, and Imablichus' Life of Pythagoras. It suggests that On Abstinence portrays the ideal philosopher who is detached from worldly concerns while the other works are not freestanding biography as they are part of a la…
Adam’s Engendering
In Confessions 13, Augustine discusses the right interpretation of the creation narrative in Genesis. His exegesis is allegorical, relating spiritual truth to its expression in the physical world. This physical expression was needed because Adam fell: All things are beautiful because you make them, and you who made all things are inexpressibly more beautiful. If Adam had not fallen from you, there would not have come forth from his womb [utero ei…

Although a range of species is represented, the economic strategy depended upon the exploitation of sheep and goats. In the southern part of the study a…

The Fathers and the Children
A Theban once came to abba Sisoes, wanting to become a monk. The old man asked him whether he had anyone in the world. He said, ‘I have a son.’ The old man said to him, ‘Go, throw him into the river, and then you shall be a monk.’ When he went off to throw him in, the old man sent a brother to stop him. The brother said, ‘Stop: what are you doing?’ He said, ‘The abba told me to throw him in.’ So the brother said, ‘But now he has told you not to.’…
