The first full-scale history of Theoderic and the Goths in more than seventy-five years, tracing the transformation of a divided kingdom into a great power “A monumental exploration. . . . It is the most important treatment of its subject since Wilhelm Ensslin’s 1947 biography, and since Mr. Wiemer’s book (here in John Noël Dillon’s fluid English translation) surpasses its predecessor in breadth and sophistication, the author can claim the laurel of having written the best profile of Theoderic we have.”—Kyle Harper, Wall Street Journal In the year 493, the leader of a vast confederation of Gothic warriors, their wives, and children personally cut down Odoacer, the man famous for deposing the last Roman emperor in 476. That leader became Theoderic the Great (454–526). This engaging history of his life and reign immerses readers in the world of the warrior-king who ushered in decades of peace and stability in Italy as king of Goths and Romans. Theoderic transformed his roving “warrior nation” from the periphery of the Roman world into a standing army that protected his taxpaying Roman subjects with the support of the Roman elite. With a ruling strategy of “integration through separation,” Theoderic not only stabilized Italy but also extended his kingdom to the western Balkans, southern France, and the Iberian Peninsula. Using sources as diverse as letters, poetry, coins, and mosaics, Hans-Ulrich Wiemer brings readers into the world of Theoderic’s court, from Gothic warriors and their families to the notables, artisans, and shopkeepers of Rome and Ravenna to the peasants and enslaved people who tilled the soil on grand rural estates. This book offers a fascinating history of the leader who brought peace to Italy after the disintegration of the Roman Empire.

This collected volume contributes to the discussion among ancient historians of the character and form of political action in Imperial Rome. It concentrates on the East of the Imperium Romanum for the whole duration of the Imperial Era, including Late Antiquity. Using concrete examples, the individual papers explore the question of how much latitude and freedom of action was exercised by the emperors - and by other authorities, such as governors and cities - and whether their actions display a political strategy which went beyond merely reacting to impulses from their subjects and subordinates.

Libanios' Rede für den Erhalt der heidnischen Tempel
Häftad, Tyska, 2011

Tillfälligt slut
Der Band präsentiert die erste deutsche Übersetzung eines Textes, in dem sich der bedeutende spätantike Redner (und Redelehrer) Libanios von Antiocheia an den römischen Kaiser Theodosius ("den Großen") wendet, um ihn dafür zu gewinnen, der Zerstörungswut fanatischer Christen (vor allem Mönche) Einhalt zu gebieten, die sich gegen die heidnischen Tempel in der Umgebung Antiocheias richtet. Libanios appelliert dabei an die Toleranz des christlichen Kaisers und weist auf die kulturgeschichtliche und identitätsstiftende Bedeutung der heidnischen Heiligtümer hin. Neben einer Einführung in den Autor, sein Werk und die hier präsentierte Schrift sowie dem Originaltext, seiner Übersetzung und ausführlichen Anmerkungen enthält der Band eine Reihe von Essays, die Libanios' Schrift aus der Perspektive verschiedener wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen zusätzlich beleuchten: das Verhältnis von Libanios' Rhetorik zum seinerzeit geltenden römischen Recht; Libanios' Einstellung zu und Stellung unter den christlichen römischen Kaisern seiner Zeit; die Rolle christlicher Mönche beim Rückgang der heidnischen Kulte in der Spätantike; archäologische Erkenntnisse zum Schicksal heidnischer Heiligtümer nach Erlöschen der Kulte; das Phänomen religiöser Intoleranz in der Spätantike. Dank diesen Beiträgen kann die Bedeutung der Schrift des Libanios in ihrem rechts-, kultur-, religions- und allgemeinhistorischem Kontext erstmals umfassend gewürdigt werden.

Few Roman emperors enjoy such fame as Flavius Claudius Iulianus – although he was sole ruler of the Roman Empire for only eighteen months (361-363). Since his early death he has been known as Julian the Apostate – the nephew of Constantine the Great who in vain tried to reverse the transformation of the Imperium Romanum into a Christian Empire. This companion synthesizes research on Julian conducted in many languages over the last decades and develops new perspectives. The authors scrutinize the voluminous and variegated sources for Julian's life and rule and reflect on the perceptions of modern research. Since Julian is the subject of scholarly discussion in various fields, this companion offers an interdisciplinary dialogue in which experts from many countries participate.Contributors are Bruno Bleckmann, Scott Bradbury, Peter Heather, Arnaldo Marcone, Neil McLynn, Heinz-Günther Nesselrath, Stefan Rebenich, Christoph Riedweg, Sebastian Schmidt-Hofner, Peter van Nuffelen, Konrad Vössing, Hans-Ulrich Wiemer.
