Constantine and the Bishops
Historians who viewed imperial Rome in terms of a conflict between pagans and Christians have often regarded the emperor Constantine's conversion as the triumph of Christianity over paganism. This study takes a fresh look at Constantine's rule uncovering the political motivations behind his policies. Constantine, H.A. Drake suggests, was looking not only for a god in whom to believe, but also a policy he could adopt. Drake shows how these policie…

Athanasius and Constantius
Edward Gibbon described Athanasius as a man whose character and abilities would have qualified him, far more than the degenerate sons of Constantine, for the government of a great monarchy. During his long tenure of the see from 328 to 373, the Bishop of Alexandria came into conflict with four Roman emperors - Constantine himself, his son Constantius, Julian the Apostate, and the Arian Valens. In this reconstruction of Athanasius's career, Timoth…
Statistics and the Conversion of the Roman Aristocracy
In a justly famous paper published in 1961, Peter Brown set out a model for understanding the historical process whereby the formerly pagan aristocracy of imperial Rome became overwhelmingly Christian during the course of the fourth and fifth centuries. Brown's paper has deeply influenced all who have subsequently studied this historical phenomenon, at least in the English-speaking world. Since this article argues that the Roman aristocracy becam…
The Later Roman Empire A. D. 284-430
From Eusebius to Augustine
These articles continue the work of the author collected in previous Variorum publications. They present detailed historical investigations into the sources and problems of the history of Late Antiquity, and argue for some of the groundwork assumed in the author's recent books. Two studies in particular, one as yet unpublished, provide a far-reaching analysis of one of the key works of the early Church, Eusebius' Life of Constantine. The relation…

The Capitulation of Liberius and Hilary of Poitiers
THE ARREST OF LIBERIUS, the bishop of Rome, by the praefectus urbi was an event conspicuous enough to be recorded by Ammianus Marcellinus, despite his evident determination to say as little as possible about the internal affairs of the Christian church during the reign of Constantius (15.7.6-10). Ammianus notes that, when Leontius was instructed to arrest Liberius and send him to the imperial court, he was only able to remove him from the city wi…
Hilary of Poitiers On His Exile
HILARY OF POITIERS ON HIS EXILE BY T. D. BARNES Hilary of Poitiers was condemned by the Council of Baeterrae in 356 and departed into exile in Asia Minor.' But the charge on which Hilary was condemned is nowhere explicitly recorded and there is consequently some divergence of modern opinions on what it was-and a scholar who knows the author exceptionally well has even maintained that he was never formally condemned and deposed at all. z The tradi…
Latin Literature between Diocletian and Ambrose
A CENTURY HAS PASSED SINCE Martin von Schanz published the first volume of his of Roman literature as far as the legislative work of the emperor Justinian (Geschichte der romischen Litteratur bis zum Gesetzgebungswerk des Kaisers Justinian). This first volume, published in 1890, dealt with Republican literature; a second two years later covered early imperial literature from Octavian's final victory in 30 B.c. to the death of Trajan, while the th…

Tacitus
Hadrian and Lucius Verus
At the age of sixty the emperor Hadrian cast about for a successor. His first choice was L. Ceionius Commodus, his second T. Aurelius Fulvus Boionius Arrius Antoninus. Both being adopted in turn by the ailing emperor, the former died before Hadrian while the latter survived to succeed him. Modern scholarship has indulged in long speculations about the motives of Hadrian and the political intrigues of his final years. This paper will not attempt t…

Who Were the Nobility of the Roman Empire
IN 1912 MATTHIAS GELZER proved that the contemporaries of Cicero reserved the term nobilis to denote strictly and solely consular rank and descent from a consul, and this demonstration has provided the basis for most subsequent study of the social structure of the Roman Republic.1 Three years later, Gelzer attempted a similar definition for the imperial period, which was far less conducive to understanding and, unfortunately, almost influential.2…
"The Composition of Cassius Dio's "Roman History
I SPENT TEN YEARS in collecting all the achievements of the Romans from the beginning to the death of Severus, and another twelve in writing my history: subsequent events will be recorded to wherever it may be possible. So Cassius Dio, in the summary by Xiphilinus, describes the composition of his Roman History (72.23.5). To what period of twentytwo years does he refer? Until very recently, modern scholars who wrote about Dio adopted chronologies…

Proconsuls of Africa, 337-392
DURING THE REIGNS of Diocletian and Constantine, and again between 392 and 415, proconsulate of Africa was an annual office, renewable and not infrequently renewed, but with each tenure lasting in theory approximately a twelvemonth. Moreover, both under Constantine and at very end of fourth century, proconsular appears to have begun and ended in April.1 The same pattern ought also to exist between 337 and 392, and a recent analysis of careers of …

The Career of Abinnaeus
FOR SEVERAL YEARS in the reign of Constantius, Flavius Abinnaeus served as praefectus of the Ala Quinta Praelectorum and commander of the fort at Dionysias in the Arsinoite nome which it garrisoned. He would be totally unknown to history but for a happy accident of survival. After his service at Dionysias, Abinnaeus appears to have retired to Philadelphia, also in the Fayyuim, taking with him papers relating to his years of military command. In 1…

Lactantius and Constantine
Flavius Valerius Constantius, the senior reigning emperor since Diocletian and Maximian had abdicated on 1 May 305, died at Eburacum on 25 July 306. At once his entourage and army proclaimed Augustus the son who stood beside his death-bed, and invested him with the purple. Constantine, however, with a subtlety beyond his years, contented himself with obtaining recognition as a Caesar from Galerius, who now, as the senior emperor, possessed the ri…

The Victories of Augustus
‘Appellatus sum vicies et semel imperator.’ So the Res Gestae of Augustus declare (4,1), and they are echoed by two historical writers (Tacitus, Ann. i, 9, 2; Dio lii, 41, 4). The emperor received the last fourteen of these imperatorial acclamations after he acquired the title of Augustus (16 January 27 B.C.), and their dates have long been recognized to provide valuable clues towards constructing a full military narrative of his reign. In his co…

THE GLIMMERINGS of an abridgement or the doubtful light of a panegyric: Gibbon's characterisation of the sources for the reign of Trajan aptly describes those available for reconstructing a narrative political history of the Western Roman Empire during much of the fifth century.1 On the careers and reigns of Avitus (455/6), Maiorianus (457461) and Anthemius (467-472), three panegyrics of Sidonius Apollinaris can be made to disclose a great deal.2…

Two Senators under Constantine
A handbook of astrology seems an improbable source of information about Constantine's dealings with the Roman Senate. Yet if the work were contemporary, and if both author and addressee were senators, then a few passages might betray a hint of transactions either not otherwise attested or not elsewhere documented in any detail. Such is in fact the case with the Mathesis of Julius Firmicus Maternus Junior v.c., of which one passage in particular c…
