Abstract

Lukas Lemcke challenges the conventional understanding of the Late Roman administration as a three-tiered system by demonstrating that its hierarchy of communication was distinctly two-tiered. In so doing, he offers a new perspective on the functional and organizational structure of this administrative system and advances our understanding of the vicariate by introducing a new functional dimension and by reassessing its development during the fifth and early sixth centuries. Based on a comprehensive collection of legal, epigraphic and other literary documents to which the concept of "formal communication" is applied, the author explores the forms and development of administrative communication channels that facilitated the official exchange of information from Constantine to Justinian and thus reveals how emperors actively sought to regulate the centripetal and centrifugal flow of official information.

Abstract

"This book covers the fourth to the eighth centuries AD, a period of transition from the pagan Roman world to the Christian Byzantine Empire - the move from a classical to a medieval world. It begins with Helena, mother of the first Christian emperor, Constantine the Great, and ends with Eirene, the only woman to rule as emperor in Byzantium. Rather than providing an extensive biography of each empress, the author seeks to analyse the nature of female imperial power during this time. What rights and responsibilities, what access to power, if any, did this office carry?" "It is apparent that the role of women in Byzantium is both more complex and more powerful than has previously been allowed for. This book aims to explore these complexities."--Jacket.

Abstract

Il faut remonter au premier millénaire de notre ère, jusqu'à ce qu'on appelle l'Antiquité tardive, pour comprendre notre monde, ses traditions, ses déchirements : c'est ce que fait Peter Brown dans cet ouvrage passionnant où il nous montre comment, entre 150 et c. 750 de notre ère, l'univers antique, centré autour du Bassin méditerranéen et jouissant jusque-là d'une remarquable homogénéité, se divise en trois sociétés fermées les unes aux autres : l'Europe catholique, Byzance et l'Islam. En 476, l'Empire romain n'est plus ; en 655, l'Empire perse a vécu. Mais il s'agit moins de décadence que de dissolution. Pendant des siècles cohabitent des esprits classiques fidèles à la Rome éternelle et des nouveaux venus qui forgent le Moyen Âge avec des outils hellénistiques. Les statues qu'on sculpte à l'image des nouveaux aristocrates portent encore la toge alors que ceux-ci ont déjà adopté la chemise de laine et la cape venues du Nord ; l'instruction garde son pouvoir mais les compagnons des muses de naguère ont pris les traits d'évêques méditant sur la Bible. Ainsi changea le monde : loin des champs de bataille, moins sous la pression des "barbares" que dans les esprits et les actes de ceux qui le vivaient au jour le jour. Tout un quotidien que fait revivre "Le monde de l'Antiquité tardive".
