Abstract

"As a statesman a genius of the first order" was Theodor Mommsen's verdict in 1886 on Diocletian, the Dalmatian whose career took him from a released slave to Emperor. Diocletian stabilised the Imperium after it had been thrown into turmoil in the imperial crisis of the period of military anarchy. After his abdication in 305, he retired to the magnificent palace of Spalato (Split, Croatia) built for his old age. Although his arrangements for the succession, his price controls and his anti-Christian policies were not a lasting success, his comprehensive reforms created the basis for Constantine and the transition to the Late Classical Age. Renowned scholars from Germany, Great Britain, Croatia, Slovenia and Switzerland contributed to an international conference held in Split in 2003. Their papers collected here show the present state of research on the Tetrarchy in its political, social, economic, ideological, historico-religious and archaeological aspects and on the reception of Diocletian up to modern times. "Ein staatsmännisches Genie ersten Ranges", so nannte Theodor Mommsen 1886 Diokletian, jenen Dalmatiner, der es vom Freigelassenen bis zum Kaiser gebracht hatte. Diokletian hat das in der Reichskrise der Soldatenkaiserzeit zerrüttete Imperium wieder stabilisiert und sich nach seiner Abdankung 305 in den großartigen Alterspalast Spalato (Split, Kroatien) zurückgezogen. Wenn er auch mit seiner Nachfolgeregelung, seiner Preiskontrolle und seiner christenfeindlichen Politik keinen dauerhaften Erfolg hatte, so boten doch seine umfassenden Reformen die Voraussetzungen für Constantin und den Übergang in die Spätantike. Die hier vorgelegten Beiträge der 2003 in Split durchgeführten internationalen Tagung namhafter Gelehrter aus Deutschland, Großbritannien, Kroatien, Slowenien und der Schweiz präsentieren die Forschungslage zur Tetrarchie, zu ihren politischen, sozialen, ökonomischen, ideologischen, religionshistorischen und archäologischen Aspekten sowie zur Rezeption Diokletians bis in die Neuzeit.

Abstract

The Great Persecution under Diocletian and his imperial colleagues and successors is a foremost concern of modern scholarship on Roman persecution of Christians. 00This book is a systematic and comprehensive study of that persecution. Its focus is on events from 284 when Diocletian became emperor, to 313, when full religious liberty was granted to all religions by the so-called Edict of Milan. 00At least nine imperial orders were issued in 303 to 312 against Christianity. While Diocletian?s orders were more concerned with the privileged upper classes of Christians, Maximinus Daia?s orders were aimed at isolating all Christians from the Roman community. 00The enforcement of the imperial orders, and the sufferings of Christians under them, are examined on a diocese-by-diocese basis, comparing the situation in the West and in the East. 0.
