Prognostication, History, and Rhetoric in the Fourth and Fifth Centuries (on Hanaghan, Future Knowledge and Imperial Acceptance)
n late , the Christian sophist Prohaeresius, who taught rhetoric at Athens and weighed whether to align himself with the Emperor Julian, asked the reputedly prophetic hierophant of Eleusis if the emperor's new tax policy, which favoured supporters of traditional cult, would be permanent.In so doing, Prohaeresius discreetly and indirectly enquired into Julian's future, particularly his lifespan.The emperor's tax breaks will not be permanent, predi…
Helios or Jesus? The Last Words of the Emperor Julian
The death of the Roman Emperor Julian provided Christians with the opportunity not only for the return of a line of Christian emperors, but also for the use of the emperor’s supposed last words as proof of the supremacy of Christ over all else. This article studies the different verba ultima attributed to Julian by Eutychianus of Cappadocia, Philostorgius, and Theodoret and argues that Theodoret willfully edited the emperor’s last words as part o…

Julian, Aetius and ‘The Galileans’
By the mid fourth century c.e. , violently divergent Christian communities had developed across the Roman empire: Nicene or Homoousian (God and Jesus ‘are of the same substance’), Homoiousian (‘are of similar substance’), Homoian (Jesus is ‘like’ God), Anomoean or Heterousian (God and Jesus ‘are of different substance’) and others. The first emperor to be a strong supporter of traditional cult in more than a generation, Julian ruled over an empir…
Notes and Discussions/Discussion
Roman imperial legislation remains a critical source of historical evidence on emperors, especially so for those emperors who had short reigns that are not well attested elsewhere, such as Dalmatius Caesar (335–337). One law is reconsidered here in terms of its dating and place of issuance in order to reinforce how we should understand this emperors role
Iamblichus’ Epistles, Fourth-Century Philosophical and Political Epistolography and the Neoplatonic Curricula at Athens and Alexandria
As a literary genre and practice, philosophical and political epistolography seems to have been alive and well in the fourth-century Roman empire. We have fragments of twenty letters of the late third- and early fourth-century c.e . Platonist (Neoplatonist to us) philosopher Iamblichus of Chalcis (which are preserved in the early fifth-century Ioannes Stobaeus’ Anthologium [ = Flor .]) to former students and other contemporaries, some of whom app…
Some Notes on the Backchannel Communications of the Prefect Musonianus with the Persians
Studies of the Persian policy of Constantius II in the last years of his reign have looked at an interesting episode in the communications of Strategius Musonianus, Constantius’ praetorian prefect of the East, with Tamshapur, a key satrap of Shapur II. The historian Ammianus Marcellinus does not explicitly tell us that Constantius approved of Musonianus’ activities, and so some scholars have assumed that the prefect acted independently. However, …
