The fabric of Hellenism and popular culture in the Imperial Greek city
Popular Culture and Literary Production in the Late Antique City
This article examines literary production in cities of the late Roman Empire, showing that it can be considered an integral part of the popular culture of the time, using the theoretical approaches of Pierre Bourdieu and Stuart Hall. It explores several case studies from different cities of the Empire. It begins by analysing literary production in Antioch, highlighting the proliferation of abusive texts during Emperor Julian’s visit in 362-363. T…
Popular Culture and the End of Antiquity in Southern Gaul, c. 400–550
This book offers a new look at the transformation of the classical world in Late Antiquity. It focuses on a particular region, rich in both archaeological and literary evidence, and examines the social, cultural and religious history of late antique southern Gaul through the lens of popular culture. Using material culture, comparative and theoretical material alongside the often dominant normative and prescriptive texts produced by the late antiq…

Caesarius of Arles and the campaign against popular culture in late antiquity
This article analyses the preaching of Caesarius of Arles (in particular the Admonitiones ) as a sustained attack on contemporary popular culture. It situates this within the question of the ‘democratization of culture’ in late antiquity, an enduring historiographical debate in which Caesarius plays a starring role. The analysis focuses in detail on the bishop's programmatic letter, the so‐called Sermo 1, and unpicks the strategies used to stigma…

Popular Culture in the Ancient World
Popular Culture in the Ancient World is the first book to provide an interdisciplinary study of the subject. Traditionally neglected by classical scholars, popular culture provides a new window through which we can view the ancient world. An international group of scholars tackles a fascinating range of subjects and objects - from dice oracles to dressing up, from toys to theological speculation. Diverse comparative and theoretical approaches are…

Cities in the ‘long’ Late Antiquity, 2000–2012 – a survey essay
This essay surveys major themes and developments in the recent study of late antique urbanism. First, re-evaluations of the late phase of classical urbanism are discussed, whereby a simple narrative of ‘decline’ has been replaced by a much more chronologically and geographically nuanced picture. The importance of regional, indeed local, specificity is stressed, with different areas of the ancient world experiencing often radically different urban…
Deconstructing the Symbolic City
This article considers the writings of Saint Jerome as a source for writing a cultural history of the city of Rome in late antiquity. Jerome is of course, in many respects, an unreliable witness but his lively and often conflicted accounts of the city do none the less provide significant insights into the city during an age of transition. He provides a few snippets for the scholar of topography, but these do not constitute the main attraction. Je…
Portraits, pontiffs and the Christianization of fourth-century Rome
RITRATTI, PONTEFICI E CRISTIANIZZAZIONE NEL IV SECOLO A ROMA L'articolo si basa sui corpus dei vasi dorati figurati della Roma di IV secolo come case-study per esaminare lo sviluppo di un materiale cristiano e della cultura figurativa nella tarda antichita. L'iconografia del corpus , di ampio raggio, ma con un'attenzione particolare al ritratto, mostra chiaramente lo sviluppo della nuova iconografia cristiana. I ritratti dei martiri e dei vescovi…

Torture and truth in late antique martyrology
This article looks at descriptions of torture in hagiographical texts, analysing the significance of representations of violence and suffering in late antique Christian discourse. Seemingly redundant descriptions of torture in texts such as Prudentius's Peristephanon can be contextualized within a broader late antique concern with violence and pain. These descriptions should also be seen as playing a central role in constructing the power of the …
