Abstract

Marcus Aurelius, the philosopher-emperor who ruled the Roman Empire between AD 161 and 180, is one of the best recorded individuals from antiquity. Even his face became more than usually familiar: the imperial coinage displayed his portrait for over 40 years, from the clean-shaven young heir of Antonius to the war-weary, heavily bearded ruler who died at his post in his late fifties.His correspondence with his tutor Fronto, and even more the private notebook he kept for his last ten years, the Meditations, provides a unique series of vivid and revealing glimpses into the character

Abstract

Although editions of Nemesianus have been surprisingly numerous, very few have contributed appreciably to our understanding of this author, and most texts have been based on a very limited number of manuscripts. There has been no commentary of any length since that of Burman (1731) and there has never before been one in English covering the whole corpus. This book is an attempt to remedy those deficiencies. The text is the first to have been based on an examination of all the known manuscripts, and a detailed and accurate apparatus criticus is provided. The textual history of both poems is thoroughly discussed. The question of the authenticity of the Eclogues is examined and Nemesianus' authorship is held to be proved. The commentary is mainly concerned with textual and grammatical matters. There is also a bibliography.

Abstract

Die Marc Aurel-Säule ist mit ihrem figurenreichen Fries ein Schlüsselmonument römischer Repräsentationskunst. Da sie selbst in der aktuellen Forschung stets im engen Vergleich mit der Trajanssäule betrachtet wird, steht eine systematische Analyse des Bildmaterials noch aus. Die vorliegende Arbeit gibt die scheinbar selbstverständliche Prämisse dieser Vorrangstellung auf und nimmt die Marc Aurel-Säule als eigenständiges Denkmal in den Blick. Die Analyse der Formen kaiserlicher Repräsentation folgt dabei nicht der immer noch weit verbreiteten Annahme, dass kaiserliche Handlungsszenen primär als bildliche Chiffren für abstrakte politische Begriffe und Tugendvorstellungen zu verstehen sind. Vielmehr werden die Szenen von Profectio und Marsch, der Ansprache, des Opfers, der Unterwerfung sowie der Begegnung und Interaktion zwischen dem Kaiser und den Fremden daraufhin untersucht, welche (neuen) ikonographischen und narrativen Mittel zur Selbst-Darstellung des Kaisers eingesetzt worden sind. Dadurch lässt sich zeigen, wie wenig die Etikettierung der Szenen durch Wertbegriffe wie virtus, clementia oder pietas den vielfältigen Bildentwürfen gerecht wird - und wie eigenständig und innovativ das Reliefband der Marc Aurel-Säule tatsächlich ist.

Abstract

The longest war of the Roman imperial period is the war Marcus Aurelius waged with the northern German and Sarmatian tribes. The best-known events of these wars were the lightning and rain miracles. Divine intervention saved the Roman troops who were surrounded by the Germans and suffering from a water shortage, by means of a lightning and rain miracle. Thunderbolts struck the enemy while the rain soothed the Romans’ suffering. Several pagan and Christian versions of the miracle existed already in Antiquity. Péter Kovács examines these events and their sources in detail. The most important source is the Column of Marcus Aurelius in Rome. The scenes of the column depict the miracles as well and therefore it was studied separately. The author also sketches the history of the Marcomannic wars. He publishes all the sources of the miracles and examines the development of the legend from Antiquity to the 14th century.
