▼ The end of the fourth century B.C. saw large-scale political overhauls with powerful monarchies replacing the former polis-centred Greek world. With these political changes came economic changes. Evidence around the Greek world at this time shows expanding number and shifting roles of market officials, the foundation of urban centres, and changes in land distribution. The kings, starting with Philip II, played significant roles in many of these developments. Macedon and Thrace, however, offer less evidence for such changes than other regions. New archaeological evidence, however, of amphoras produced near ancient Mende shows a clear difference between earlier practices of organizing amphora production and those practices from the late fourth century. The changes in amphora stamping show an increase in personal accountability and complexity of organization thereby providing substantial detail to the more general evidence for economic change Macedonia and the Chalkidike.

▼ Diacrotes the Mighty aims to use the advantages of a graphic novel???s framework and influences from
antiquity to create a story of a classical divinized hero and to provide the reader with an experience unique to the genre. Diacrotes??? tale incorporates themes such as the tragic struggle between gods and mortals, lifetime trials of courage and endurance followed by apotheosis present in classical stories of divinized heroes. Furthermore, the hero???s origin story addresses the struggle between the Apollonian and Dionysian forces of control and disorder, developed by the philosopher and classicist, Friedrich Nietzsche. Constructing a classical style divinized hero in this medium allows the artists to engage the readers in a way distinctive to its attributes of juxtaposed images and text, thus virtually demanding the reader to embrace the information present while contributing their own input. Additionally, the space between panels offers moments for the reader???s imagination to construct the transition between scenes. This project unifies elements of classical story telling with a contemporary form, amalgamating techniques otherwise separated by thousands of years.

▼ This dissertation examines the role of Roman antiquity in crafting civic identity in fourteenth-century Siena. Roman heritage was a point of pride for Italian communes and had political and cultural relevance by informing values and legitimizing republican governments for contemporary audiences. Without provable classical settlement, trecento Siena fabricated an elaborate origin myth that stressed ancient foundations—by the twin sons of Rome’s own Remus—and promoted the legend in a city-wide iconographical and philosophical program. This dissertation presents a series of case studies that analyze specific occurrences of the civic deployment of Siena’s invented classical identity and examines the socio-political value of this Romanitas, or “Roman-ness,” in a pivotal period of transformation where the combination of a state-crafted visual campaign rooted in classicism and the political shift from one republican regime to the next provides the opportunity to trace the invocation of Rome in various forms across the city’s landscape. I begin by examining the origin legend as a response to foreign challenges to Siena’s historicity. I then analyze Sienese political discourse, both local and in broader Guelph-Ghibelline debates, to argue that Roman republicanism provided necessary legitimacy to republics and a vocabulary to express communal virtues. Chapter three follows Sienese efforts to emphasize ancient material through the celebration of spolia—native and imported—and attention to Rome in original art. Chapters four and five examine the presence of Christian antiquity in Siena, demonstrated by the selection of ancient martyrs as their patron saints and the religious ideals of the Gesuati order, dedicated to Jerome. The final chapter identifies instances where pagan and Christian antiquity appeared in the same civic space and questions how both expressions of Romanitas functioned together to create a cultural identity in Siena dependent on classical influence. This dissertation expands scholarship’s definition of antiquity to include both pagan and Christian manifestations and recognizes the role of Sienese communal government in developing the rebirth of antiquity. I suggest that the Sienese state cultivated a self-image that stressed Siena as a Roman city physically and philosophically built upon classical origins and benefiting from Rome’s political and spiritual inheritance.

The Qur’An’S Communal Ideology: Rhetoric And Representation In Scripture And Early Historiography.

▼ This study of the Qurʾān is grounded in both linguistic and literary approaches, adapted to account for the text's particularities. The crucial underlying assumption of this thesis is that the Qurʾān constitutes a closed text-one with a distinct pre-classical context, a unique literary logic, and an evolving, albeit coherent, internal ideology. In this study, the synchronic investigation of Qurʾānic data, without recourse to its early Muslim mediations, attempts to elucidate how the Qurʾān's polemical program is contingent on various late ancient Near Eastern discourses on communal election and soteriological legitimacy. A secondary part of this work addresses diachronic questions about the development of a Muslim communal consciousness as represented in early historiography. These early parenthetical literatures mediate the Qurʾān's multivalent concept of the salvific community (ummah) into novel statements of communal boundary-making. The textual focus of this thesis is a complex cluster of verses at the heart of the second sura, the Ummah Pericope: Q2:104[-]152. This pericope, which forms a distinct thematic and formal unit within the sura, is the Qurʾān's most explicit expression of communalism, as expressed through the original category ummah. The pericope is comprised of a series of polemical engagements with interlocutors along three broad and overlapping modalities of communal consciousness and boundary-making. It presents the ummah as a juridical entity: individuals or groups constitute an ummah when they adhere to the dīn-an ahistorical category with permeable boundaries; as a prophetological entity: individuals or groups constitute an ummah when they are direct or vicarious recipients of nubuwwa-a semi-historical category with somewhat permeable boundaries and as a genealogical entity: individuals or groups constitute an ummah when they share patrimony-a historical category with impermeable boundaries. This thesis' study of the Ummah Pericope, and more broadly the second sura, shows that the Qurʾān's polemical negotiations of various late ancient communal theologies cannot be reduced to any single supersessionary statement. Rather, the Qurʾān's polemical program is made up of a heterogeneous set of codes that subvert, contest, co-opt and re-appropriate aspects of late ancient Jewish and Christian sectarian discourses into an emergent ideological agenda, anticipating the formation of a distinct salvific community-an ummah.

▼ In 534, after the conquest of the Vandal kingdom, Procopius tells us that the emperor Justinian deported all remaining Vandals to serve on the Persian frontier. But a hundred years of Vandal rule bred cultural ambiguities in Africa, and the changes in identity that occurred during the Vandal century persisted long after the Vandals had been shipped off to the East: Byzantine and Arabic writers alike shared the conviction that the Africans had, by the sixth and seventh centuries, become something other than Roman. This thesis surveys the available evidence for cultural transformation and merger of identities between the two principal peoples of Vandal Africa, the Vandals and the Romano-Africans, to determine the origins of those changes in identity, and how the people of Africa came to be different enough from Romans for ancient writers to pass such comment. It examines the visible conversation around ethnicity in late-antique Africa to determine what the defining social signifiers of Vandal and Romano-African identity were during the Vandal century, and how they changed over time. Likewise, it explores the evidence for deliberate attempts by the Vandal state to foster national unity and identity among their subjects, and in particular the role that religion and the African Arian Church played in furthering these strategies for national unity. Finally, it traces into the Byzantine period the after-effects of changes that occurred in Africa during the Vandal period, discussing how shifts in what it meant to be Roman or Vandal in Africa under Vandal rule shaped the province's history and character after its incorporation into the Eastern Empire.

▼ The aims of this study were to evaluate the use of botanical species as indicators of antiquity and environmental continuity and also to provide greater understanding of the processes responsible for the formation of woodland plant communities. In order to address this, the research was undertaken along four main themes: 1) Plant colonisation rates. 2) Plant species lists for woodland sites. 3) The impact of surveyor effort and strategy in devising species lists for sites. 4) The response of a typical woodland plant to management. 5) Plant communities in an area of Scottish pine forestIn particular, this study has focussed on the determination of indicator species. Some of the problems of surveying woodlands have also been raised. These problems include a lack of thorough surveys in secondary woodland habitats, and also the difficulty of comparing woodlands when they have been surveyed for different lengths of time, at different times of the year and different recording methods employed. The rate at which species are recorded during surveys has been studied in detail using three non-linear equations, which can be used to predict the number of species missed for a given survey. The results of investigating differences between species lists of different types of woodlands have shown that geology and age are the two most important factors affecting species composition of woodland within the study area (mainly South Yorkshire). The best method for determining indicator species appeared to be a simple comparison procedure between ancient and secondary woodland, with species split into two groups depending upon their percentage occurrence in ancient woodland (>90% and 75-90%) after compensating for unequal numbers of woodlands in the two categories. In addition recommendations have been made as to the number of indicator species required to be confident that a site is ancient. The findings of this study and the conclusions reached will help refine the surveyand evaluation procedure for conserving and maintaining the woodland resource.

▼ This dissertation examines the transformation of communities in post-Roman southern Gaul from 450 to 600 C.E. It investigates the political end of Rome from local perspectives to demonstrate that individuals and communities were not passive recipients of the transformation of the Roman world, but active agents of change, shifting normative concepts and conduct. These communities were, in their own minds, little Romes. This dissertation reveals how Christian identity become more central to daily life in southern Gaul through debates over communal jurisdiction, ideas of local homelands, and sexual norms as late Roman concepts gave way to new, localized, and initially amorphous post-Roman political and religious authorities. In doing so, it makes three arguments. First, it argues what it meant to be Christian was far from settled in the communities of late antique Gaul and that definitions of proper conduct were unclear about questions of practice, sexuality, and pastoral power. Second, it contends that political rulers deliberately did not debate questions of moral living, since no accepted idea of “being Christian” yet existed. Gallic spiritual communities could not agree on how to live as Christians, so when regional states tried to impose uniformity on religious norms, further disorder was the result. Finally, it was only at the end of the sixth century, as Merovingian rulers integrated Gaul into a cohesive entity, that ecclesiastical leaders codified normative positions on the difficult questions of church jurisdictions, religious and secular homelands, and proper sexual behavior.

▼ This thesis is devoted to an intertextual study of Colluthus’ late antique epyllion, the Abduction of Helen. Colluthus is a poet whose reputation has long suffered, but is currently under rehabilitation, and the aim of this study is to build on recent scholarship in order to develop a fuller appreciation of Colluthus’ multi-faceted engagement with literary traditions and his allusive technique. Chapters are devoted to linguistic allusion, the intertextuality of genre, and the thematic intertextuality of the abduction narrative. In each chapter, a different approach to allusion and intertextuality reveals a pervasive pattern in Colluthus’ allusive poetics. Colluthus, it will be shown, was a poet who delighted in irony, but it is an irony which is almost always dependent on its relationships to model texts, generic traditions, and thematic motifs. Through the various allusive devices studied here, we find that the poet frequently creates expectations in the learned reader for the directions his narrative will take, only to deny them: he builds a pastoral world through generic parallels, only to leave it behind; he frequently alludes to the motifs and stories of abduction in classical literature, only to frame the “abduction” of Helen as a mutual romantic encounter. Through a systematic, yet necessarily selective study of Colluthus’ allusive poetics, we gain a new understanding of the Abduction of Helen as a poem defined by its ambivalence and undecidability, just like the figure of Helen herself.

▼ This dissertation argues that, in his writings on Martin, Sulpicius Severus constructs for his audience an ideal reader of hagiography, whose depiction allows him to condition the eventual reception of the text. Past scholarship on this corpus has focused especially on questions of historicity, in an attempt to understand more fully the figure of Martin in the context of a late ancient Gaul riven by ecclesiastical conflict. Instead of seeing Sulpicius' writing simply as a conduit to Martin, this project shifts scholarly focus from the holy man to his hagiographer. The dissertation's first chapter addresses the narrative structure of Sulpicius' writings on Martin, which include the original Life, three letters and the dialogue, Gallus. The second and third chapters account for Sulpicius' experimentation across diverse ancient genres: biography, epistolography and dialogue and argue that this formal progression allows Sulpicius to foreground the figure of the reader in the corpus. The chapters demonstrate that readers as depicted in the dialogue are marked as exemplary for Sulpicius' external audience: they model how to read a saint. The fourth chapter examines the content of that program of reading, in particular the frequent use of exempla in the dialogue, suggesting that Sulpicius uses these episodes to fashion a link that correlates the writing and reading of hagiography to the performance of saintly virtus.

▼ The Late Antique architectural remains on the acropolis of Koroneia’s city hill have not yet received the research attention they need in the current Ancient Cities of Boeotia project. This thesis will delve deeper into the collapsed vaulted ceiling remains that have been found on the acropolis and provides a thorough description, coordinate measurements and plans, and begins the difficult task op interpreting these remains. It is attempted to reconstruct what the building was and draw parallels to other similar buildings.
Research into the remains was conducted in the 2009 field season by architectural specialist Dr Inge Uytterhoeven, and the August 2012 field season saw the continuance of this research by students. For a field school on ground-based digital recording techniques, students were tasked with recording the remains of the large structure on the acropolis which had earlier been dubbed the ‘Bishop’s Palace’ by researchers. Over 200 Total Station measurements were taken, detailed descriptions and sketches were made, and over the course of two mornings the entire remains were carefully documented. Also, suggestions for the improvement of fieldwork and analysis methods and suggestions for further research are made in this thesis. In this thesis, special attention is paid to the recording and analyzing techniques used, and these are described in detail. Also, an attempt has been made to interpret the remains and compare them to other, perhaps similar, complexes. In close consultation with Dr Inge Uytterhoeven, the remains have been roughly dated to the 5th or 6th century AD, the Late Antique period on the Greek mainland. A look at both the remains and the period suggests that the most likely interpretation is an elite villa or house with a public character.

▼ L'axe Rhône-Rhin est durant toute l'Antiquité le théâtre d'une intense activité commerciale, favorisée par une large utilisation des nombreux cours d'eau navigables qui irriguent ce vaste espace. La fondation, peu après le milieu du Ier s. av. J.-C., des colonies romaines d'Arles et de Lyon, aux deux extrémités du couloir rhodanien, constitue le prélude à la mise en place, à l'époque d'Auguste, d'un nouveau système économique, destiné en particulier à l'approvisionnement des armées stationnées sur le limes germanique, qui engendrera un accroissement considérable des trafics commerciaux. Par la suite, pendant plusieurs siècles, ces deux centres urbains portuaires polariseront les échanges à longue distance, comme le soulignent tout particulièrement les données épigraphiques. Plus récemment, le développement de la céramologie a permis une approche complémentaire du commerce, basée sur l'étude de ses vestiges matériels. Cette discipline offre en effet la possibilité d'appréhender la nature des produits échangés, leurs provenances et leurs proportions relatives, ainsi que de préciser les évolutions de ces différentes caractéristiques au cours du temps.A Lyon, les trois dernières décennies ont été marquées par un important essor des recherches archéologiques, grâce auxquelles une abondante documentation céramologique sur l'ensemble de l'époque romaine est désormais disponible. D'autre part, à Arles, plusieurs fouilles majeures ont livré ces dernières années de très riches niveaux de dépotoirs portuaires et urbains dont l'étude, conduite dans le cadre de cette thèse, complète considérablement les connaissances sur le faciès matériel arlésien. En outre, la récente découverte, au large des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, de l'un des avant-ports de la ville nous a offert une intéressante documentation complémentaire.Sur la base des données matérielles provenant des deux grands ports d'Arles et de Lyon, complétées de manière ponctuelle par celles de plusieurs autres sites de la vallée du Rhône, il a été possible de dresser une vaste synthèse diachronique du commerce rhodanien, prenant en compte aussi bien les produits transportés en amphores que les vaisselles céramiques. Ce large bilan des connaissances permet ainsi de suivre les évolutions des échanges commerciaux sur cet axe entre le Ier s. av. J.-C. et le VIIe s. ap. J.-C., mais aussi d'identifier plusieurs lacunes persistantes et de proposer un certain nombre de pistes de recherches.
The Rhône-Rhin axis is during the antiquity the theatre of an intense commercial activity, facilitated by a large use of many navigable waterways which that irrigate this vast space. The foundation, shortly after the middle of the 1st c. BC, of the roman colonies of Arles and Lyon, at the both extremities of the Rhone valley, is the prelude to the establishment, at the time of Augustus, of a new economic system, destined to the supply of the armies based at the Germanic limes, which will lead a considerable increase of the commercial traffics. In the following time, during several centuries,…

▼ There has been an increased interest in Romeʼs connections with the Far East over the course of the last 20 years. This has resulted in the publication of many articles and monographs about the Roman involvement in the Red Sea which was the key maritime region linking the Far East with the West. This thesis synthesizes the recent scholarship on the Red Sea trade in Late Antiquity by merging all of the most up to date information into a concise narrative. In order to accomplish this, three major sources of information have been analyzed. Firstly, the historical time frame of all of the major regions of the Red Sea including Egypt, Aksum, and Himyar have been laid out in a straight forward narrative. This offers the most pertinent background information for the development of Red Sea trade. Secondly, the most up to date archaeological evidence has been incorporated into a description of the ancient maritime trade infrastructure of the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. The archaeological evidence broadens our knowledge of the roads through the Eastern Desert of Egypt, the ports of the Red Sea, and the development of the Indian subcontinent more generally. Thirdly, this thesis builds on all of the historical as well as archaeological data and attempts to quantify the impact of Red Sea trade on the Late Antique Roman Empire both economically and culturally. This synthesis helps to elucidate the growing conception among Late Antique scholars that the Roman Empire was far more interconnected with its eastern neighbours. This further nuances the role which outside forces had on the evolution of the Late Antique world.

▼ This thesis investigates the dual roles that women played in the cult of the martyrs in Christianity in Late Antiquity: as martyrs worthy of admiration and as venerators engaged in acts of celebration. The investigation is driven by questions regarding the identity, agency, and power of women in the cult of martyrs, focusing on late antique (second- to fifth-century) North Africa.
Late antique Christians expressed their veneration of the martyrs in a variety of ways, including (but not limited to) special church services, praying for the martyrs, visiting martyrs’ shrines to ask for miracles (often healing in nature), and partaking in commemorative feasts at the martyrs’ graves on the anniversaries of their deaths. In all of these modes of veneration, women took on various roles that were analogous with other roles outside of the cult of the martyrs, such as wife, mother, patron, or client. Female martyrs are also identified using these roles, and thus this provides a useful area of comparison. By exploring these roles, this thesis arrives at a more nuanced understanding of women’s agency and power in traditional contexts and how such agency and power were transferred, continued, and challenged within the cult of the martyrs.
The thesis engages in textual and discourse analysis of the relevant primary sources, particularly the martyr texts, sermons, letters, and treatises by North African writers. In the secondary literature, this study engages with the diverse works of classicists, historians, archaeologists, religious studies scholars, and feminist theorists. The interdisciplinary approach of the thesis is further nuanced by an examination of the concepts of identity, agency, and power. Applying these analyses to the context of women’s participation in the cult of the martyrs provides new insights into how we can uncover women’s experiences in ancient sources, where women’s voices are almost always obscured by male discourses.

▼ Roman emperors came to power through a hybrid dynastic/elective selection system that was never formally codified. This lack of codification has caused problems for modern scholars looking to identify and categorize those who were involved in selecting the next Roman emperor. This thesis believes that these problems exist because scholars are not distinguishing the names of key ancient institutions from the underlying types of power which backed their capability for action. This thesis seeks to solve this problem by creating a categorization system for imperial accessions based around a basic unit called the “political interest.” At its core, a political interest is a combination of the name of the individual or group as listed in the primary sources, the different types of power they possessed, and the level of decision-making authority they wielded during an imperial selection. Using this system, this thesis creates a database of Late Roman emperors with information on when they came to power, the various stages of their accessions, what political interests supported them, and where these interests were located. This thesis then analyzes the political and geographic trends from the database and supplies provisional explanations as to why changes in the Late Roman accession process occurred.

Прокопијево дело О грађевинама представља веома
подробан опис императорове грађевинске активности у периоду касне
антике. Посвећено је набрајању и описивању великих грађевина,
храмова, утврђења, мостова, манастира подигнутих од цара
Јустинијана у различитим деловима Римске Империје. Докторски рад
има за циљ да да свој допринос бољем разумевању језичке реалности у
појединим областима Балкана у позноантичком периоду детаљним
испитивањем имена места посведоченим у Прокопијевом панегирику. Рад
је ограничен на географска подручја која обухватају утврђења
поменута у Македонији и Тесалији, са циљем да њихова имену буду што
детаљније обрађена. Намера нам је била да име сваког утврђења у
детаљима буде размотрено пре свега језички, истовремено водећи
рачуна о историјској традицији и осталим релевантним чињеницама.
Прокопијево сведочанство је истовремено упоређивано са другим
примарним изворима који су релевантни за период Касне антике.
Имајући у виду да је већина имена места у Прокопијевим списковима
hapax legomena, при истраживању коришћени су и археолошки подаци,
као и епиграфска и нумизматичка сведочанства. Циљ нашег истраживања
био је да се испита не само етимологија појединог имена, већ,
уколико је то могуће, и његова локализација.

▼ In approaching the scientific literature on the UNESCO world heritage site of Palmyra for the first time, any scholar would be immediately struck by the number of studies devoted to the Roman phase of the settlement – roughly 1st-third quarter of the 3rd century. By contrast, contributions on late antique and early Islamic Palmyra have never been numerous, reflecting both the preference granted by current scholarship to the study of Roman remains and the paucity of archaeological and written evidence at our disposal to cast light on this period. Admittedly, works on post-273 Palmyra have grown significantly in number in the last couple of decades. Yet, almost the totality of them has often been confined to the examination of items of circumstantial evidence. We still lack an organic publication that attempts a systematic overview of these works and tries to contextualise the history of the city in a broader geographic and chronological framework. Numerous questions, such as the fate of the city in the 5th century, remain to be answered; other evidence, such as the bulk of early Arabic written sources, still has to be fully explored. This dissertation presents an examination of those evidence that are useful to better understand the historical development of the settlement from the fall of Zenobia and the second Palmyrene revolt (272-273) to the collapse of the Umayyad caliphate (750). The civilian and military character of the city is investigated through the analysis of specific themes for which enough evidence is available to work with. Besides written sources and published archaeological evidence, archival material is used to cast more light on a selected number of specific items of evidence. The final output of this study is to present a comprehensive history of the post-Roman settlement to be taken as a starting point for future discussion on the topic.

▼ This dissertation centers on the ways in which rabbinic texts from the first five centuries C.E. constructed daily and monthly rhythms of time and examines the intersections of those times at the outer boundaries of the rabbinic community as well as among those inhabiting various roles within the community.
Part I explores the synchronization and differentiation of rabbinic and Roman time, and focuses in particular on the incorporation of the Roman calendar into rabbinic texts and on the integration of the Jewish seven-day week into the Roman calendar. Ironically, by trying so deliberately to separate from observing the Roman calendar and formulating laws intended to limit interactions between Romans and Jews on certain calendar days, the rabbis effectively integrated the rhythms of the Roman calendar into their own daily lives. Rabbinic sources, however, also present the origin and history of these Roman festivals as Jewish or biblical at their core, thus filling the Roman calendar with days that had Jewish stories - and indeed a long Jewish past - attached to them. Romans, too, adopted aspects of the Jewish calendar, especially the seven-day week and a day of rest, despite Roman arguments that resting every seventh day epitomized idleness and was an ill use of one's time.
Part II confronts the question of gender in rabbinic time and the emergence of a gendered temporality in rabbinic law through the development of distinct rituals for men and women. In a shift from the way in which commandments had previously been conceptualized, rabbinic texts construct the category of "positive time-bound commandments," from which rabbinic law excludes women. There is, however, an entire set of time-related laws - the cycles of purity and impurity related to menstruation - that applied only to women and structured their time around different rituals. Women's bodies were also invoked rhetorically to articulate ideas about time through the use of metaphors of pregnancy, labor, birth and menstruation. Even as the rabbis – all men – define women out of what they consider to be time-boundedness, through both rituals and rhetoric women are effectively no less, though surely differently, time-bound than their male counterparts.

▼ The present study addresses lay piety in Byzantium from the perspective of its relation to the monastic ideal. My approach builds on work such as Peter Brown's analysis of early Christian asceticism, The Body and Society and John Haldon's socio-cultural study Byzantium in the Seventh Century. The period 600-730 was of great historical significance, as the late antique Roman world and its religion was disrupted by the rise of Islam. It offers a neglected abundance of religious literature, shedding light on an otherwise "Dark" Age.
After a summary of key points in the history of lay piety up to 600, I proceed to analyze it in the early seventh century from the perspectives of the poetry of George of Pisidia, who crafted a model of ascetical and mystical piety for the emperor Heraclius; of the hagiography of John of Thessalonica and Leontius of Neapolis who used stories of local saints to instruct laypeople; and the "edifying tales" gathered by the monk John Moschus in his Spiritual Meadow. Around the same time Maximus the Confessor provided an influential synthesis of Byzantine theology. The late seventh-century itinerant teacher Anastasius of Sinai mediated the austere monastic doctrine of his master John Climacus to laypeople, and used his scientific learning to adapt it to the newly Muslim-dominated Near East. In the early eighth century I consider the sermons of Andrew of Crete and Germanus of Constantinople, along with other contemporary testimony to the emerging medieval Byzantine culture. Delivered to mixed audiences of laypeople and monastics, such texts provide a glimpse into the spiritual expectations and celebrations of urban Byzantium.
In the conclusion I consider further the methodological problems of the sources. Many of the details of lay practices can be corroborated elsewhere. The predominantly monastic and clerical authors were aware of facts on the ground and adapted their discourses accordingly. We can thus map certain patterns of lay piety – patronage of monasteries, sacramental participation, devotion to saints, etc. – throughout the period. I end on the threshold of iconoclasm, offering some preliminary suggestions as to how lay piety affected that movement.

▼ Scholarship on late antique cities has largely conceptualized them as singular entities, either decaying or transitioning as Roman imperial power and economic structures shifted. Improved archaeological data from urban sites, accompanied by a number of broad synthetic studies, now allow for fresh exploration of the details of urbanism in this transformative era. This study examines the ways that a select group of public buildings were used and reused in the Mediterranean West between 300 and 600 CE. This examination is primarily carried out through the collection of a broad catalogue of archaeological evidence (supplemented with epigraphic and literary testimony) for the constructions, work projects, abandonments and reuses of key public monuments across the Western Mediterranean region—principally Italy, southern Gaul, Spain, and North Africa west of Cyrenaica. This broad survey is augmented with case studies on select cities. Such an analysis of the late antique histories of baths, aqueducts, and spectacle buildings (theaters, amphitheaters, and circuses) shows that each of the building types had a distinct history and that public monuments were not a unitary group. It also reveals unexpectedly few regional trends, suggesting that these histories were broadly common across the West. Further, this study shows that each building type was reused differently, both in terms of purposes and chronology. Finally, by considering economic, technological, cultural and legal factors affecting patterns of use, abandonment and reuse, this study establishes that the primary cause for the transformations to public building was largely a change in euergetistic practices in late
antiquity. Cities with access to imperial or other governmental patronage used and maintained their public monuments longer than those without. Together these observations demonstrate the complexities of urban change in this period and prove that the idea of a single pattern of decline in late antique cities is no longer tenable.

▼ This thesis compares how four religions moved through four ancient diasporas (c. 300 BCE–100 CE): Syrian (Delos), Phoenician (Delos), Thracian (Athens), and Judaean (Corinth). While problematizing these two concepts, it nevertheless shows that being in diaspora was the catalyst for new formulations of group identities, and that the worship of deities and associated cultural practices became more central for groups in diaspora. Often community boundaries evolved to include outsiders with no shared ethno-geographical background, for whom membership became mediated through shared worship.

▼ Changing circumstances during Late
Antiquity and the Early Byzantine Period (4th-9th centuries A.D.) required Byzantine communities to make deliberate adjustments in order to survive, endure, and ultimately flourish again during the Middle Byzantine Period (10th-12th centuries). The role these communities had in decision-making can easily be overlooked, leaving instead hapless victims of insurmountable external pressures such as imperial manipulation, economic recession, Christian acculturation, or a general sense of inexorable decline. Although factors such as these played a role as each community deliberated on a complex and unique set of local concerns, the ultimate decisions each community made should not be assumed but rather investigated on the basis of both textual and archaeological evidence. The stoa is particularly well-suited for the study of reuse and therefore valuable for understanding the adaptive strategies implemented by Byzantine individuals and communities during the transition period from
antiquity to the medieval period. The stoa was one of the most ubiquitous buildings of the Greco-Roman city and was highly adaptable for reuse, whether by incorporation into large structures such as churches or fortifications, or by subdivision into smaller units for uses such as housing, storage, or commercial activities. The stoa was commonly found not only in urban contexts, particularly in agorai and fora, but also at many extraurban sanctuaries. By compiling data on the reuse of stoas throughout the Byzantine Empire during the 4th - 10th centuries, four patterns of reuse can be identified: residential, economic, ecclesiastical, and defensive. Abandonment, or a lack of reuse, is a fifth pattern. These patterns of reuse provide insight into the lives of Byzantines outside of the imperial and ecclesiastic elites and inform the excavation of post-classical phases of stoas.

▼ This thesis argues that Jerome’s polemics against Helvidius, Jovinian, and Vigilantius were tailored to boost Jerome’s status within the Christian community, and were carefully constructed pieces of abusive rhetoric, rather than the result of his famed curmudgeonly character. These treatises are studied in light of both the ancient rhetorical tradition within which Jerome was trained, and modern theories of abusive rhetoric. This thesis is demonstrated in six chapters. Chapter 1 demonstrates that past scholarship focused on ‘Jerome the man’, his self-invention, and his academic and spiritual qualities, without giving adequate attention to how Jerome used these qualities in his compositions. Chapter 2 focuses on ancient and modern theories of rhetoric in order to set out a methodology of abusive rhetoric that highlights Burkean identification. In addition, this chapter studies how rhetoric can define and challenge social hierarchies. Chapter 3 discusses Jerome’s awareness of social standing through discussion of his interactions with three of his contemporaries: Augustine, Rufinus, and Ambrose. It examines how Jerome altered his rhetoric to reflect his perception of the relative social status of his correspondents. Part 2 studies three of Jerome’s treatises in light of the conclusion of Part 1. Chapter 4 analyzes Jerome’s Adversus Helvidium, and argues that Jerome’s rhetoric serves to contrast himself with Helvidius, whose heretical, fame-seeking character illuminates Jerome as a humble and conservative Christian. It argues that Jerome’s rhetoric in this treatise aimed for episcopal authority. Chapter 5 studies Jerome’s Adversus Iovinianum and argues that the polemic sought to extend Jerome’s views on asceticism to a wider audience, and potentially secure favor for himself following his expulsion from Rome. He presents Jovinian as a deceptive sinner with a dissolute lifestyle, and himself as an authoritative savior. Although Jerome attempted to connect to the elite in the Christian community, his tract was a failure due to an inability to identify successfully with the audience on the topic of virginity. Finally, Chapter 6 discusses Jerome’s Contra Vigilantium. Jerome presents Vigilantius as a boorish Gallic innkeeper, in contrast to himself as an urbane, albeit snobbish, orthodox Christian. Jerome’s rhetoric carefully identifies himself with upper class Christians, as well as the Emperor, apostles, and martyrs, thereby claiming their agreement with his view of orthodoxy. In sum, I argue that Jerome’s rhetoric served to construct a polemical persona that he attempted to use to further his Christian career, and shape his own image. While this was not entirely successful in his own day, Jerome’s rhetoric did ultimately succeed in crafting an image of himself as an orthodox and authoritative father of the Church.

▼ The prehistory and early history of Scotland have been the subject of academic interest since the antiquarian period, but most of this interest has been focused on the Eastern, Northern and Atlantic regions of Scotland. The South-West has not been the subject of any recent regional research efforts, despite the presence of contrasting sites such as Burnswark and Castle O'er, or extraordinary sites such as the Mote of Mark or Whithorn. This thesis aims to fill this gap by examining the available evidence from the Roman Iron Age and Early Historic periods for the region stretching, approximately, from Eastern Dumfriesshire to Northern Ayrshire. The evidence gathered is primarily archaeological, with a strong emphasis on landscape patterns and imported items. Because of the size of the region, the landscape was sampled using a 25% systematic grid pattern, with the sample unit coinciding with a single Ordnance Survey grid. Key excavated sites which did not fall into the pattern were also included, so as to analyse them within their landscape and situate them within regional patterns. In contrast, because of the limited amount of known items, imported objects from the entire study area have been considered. The thesis also has a secondary historical component, comprised of contemporary texts which describe either South-West Scotland specifically or Brythonic-speaking communities. The texts, analysed in their original language, have been used to clarify, where possible, patterns emerged in the archaeological analysis. This holistic approach allows a nuanced discussion on the themes of interaction, with the Roman world first and Europe later; social organisation; identity; and social change. The discussion points to the existence of definite regional differences in social organisation and interaction with the Roman world from the early Roman Iron Age, differences which are exacerbated in the following centuries through the economic and socio-cultural choices made by the native communities in their attempt to flourish in a rapidly changing world.

▼ The problem of how to situate Ephesians vis-à-vis Paul and Paulinism-one with a long and venerable history in Pauline scholarship, although now largely taken for granted-is better characterised as the problem of how to read Ephesians vis-à-vis the corpus Paulinum. Any study of Paul, working in historical mode, has to reckon with the nature of the evidence: to study Paul is to be a student, firstly, of a letter collection. Any judgment about Ephesians, then, is, in the end, born from a judgment about how to read a letter collection. This thesis, therefore, comprises three parts. Part 1 recounts the rise of a distinctively modern way of (not) reading Paul's letter collection, which privileges discrete letters, chronologically arranged, as the raw data for narrating Pauline biography and early Christianity (chapter one), and the effect that this reading strategy has on Ephesians, which is now displaced-one strand of the welter of the Pauline legacy (chapter two). Together, chapters one and two make the negative argument that the consensus on Ephesians, more than a scientific reconstruction of history, is a hermeneutical construct of modern criticism. Part 2 turns to Paul's late-ancient tradents to ask the same two questions: how do these readers read Paul's letter collection (chapter three), and how does this impact how they read Ephesians (chapter four)? Chapter three finds that late-antique Paulinists privilege, at one and the same time, both the collectivity/arrangement of the corpus and fragmentary ways of reading it that derive from the practices of late-ancient grammar. The priority of the collection, together with reading strategies that negotiate rather than dis- place difference, serves to place Ephesians consistently near the centre of late-ancient portraits of Paul-so the argument of chapter four. A different way of reading a letter collection generates a different way of reading Ephesians vis-à-vis Paul. This is the cumulative argument of Part 2. Part 3, then, picks up one of the most pervasive contemporary judgements about Ephesians-its developed image of Paul (chapter five) as inscribed in 3.1-13-in order to ask a simple question: if one does not begin with assumptions about authenticity and chronology, how do this text read vis-à-vis relevant co-texts within Paul's letter collection? Contemporary rhetoric aside, chapter five argues that Ephesians holds together various tensions in the collection's image of Paul that surface not just between so-called disputed and undisputed letters, but between the undisputed letters themselves. Rather than developed, a less hermeneutically loaded designation of the difference would be to call Eph 3.1-13 a generalised account of what we find ad hoc in the other letters. But this does not allow one to make claims about historical distance. At least with respect to its image of Paul, then, I argue that Ephesians is a source for Paul, whether Paul wrote it or not. This relatively simple argument has three rather significant implications: [1] scholars of early…

▼ The dissertation focuses on the religious culture of Christian monasticism in sixth-century Palestine. Rather than see the monastic communities of the Judean Desert, just to the east of Jerusalem, and those around Gaza as two independent monastic regions, as much scholarship has done, the dissertation focuses on the common threads that can be seen in the monastic teachings and idealized ascetic practices in the literature of the area. This dissertation reveals ways to redefine the boundaries between the monastic communities of Palestine during the sixth century as well as emphasizes the continuities between the monks of the Judean Desert and Gaza by providing an alternative perspective by which to examine their monastic traditions. This is achieved by focusing on the monastic teachings and idealized ascetic practices emphasized in the Greek monastic literature of sixth-century Palestine, particularly the hagiographies of Cyril of Scythopolis and the Correspondence of Barsanuphius and John the Prophet. Rather than look outward, examining how Palestinian monks impacted ecclesiastical and social structures, the dissertation instead faces inward towards the monastic communities themselves. Through this method the dissertation provides a textually rich description of the monastic landscape of late antique Palestine while highlighting the varieties of monasticism which persisted through the sixth century.

▼ Bishop, diplomat, letter-writer, poet and saint, Sidonius Apollinaris was an incredibly influential author in fifth-century Gaul. In Sidonius’ epistles literary allusions are employed to great and varying effect. This thesis examines Sidonius’ use of literary allusions in selected epistles, chosen to show the variety of their use. The first chapter examines how Sidonius alludes to programmatic remarks by other authors to develop his own unique programmatic message. Chapter two argues that Sidonius’ allusions in Ep. 1.5 (which describes his journey from Gaul to Rome in 467CE) amount to a critique of the destabilization of the Roman Empire in the West. The third chapter argues. Sidonius’ response to the controversial Gallic presbyter and philosopher Claudianus Mamertus carefully avoids philosophical debate by praising him in deliberately superficial terms, using allusions to refute and distance himself from Claudianus’ polemical claims with minimal offense. Chapter four analyses Sidonius’ allusion to a plethora of other descriptions of buildings and art in Latin literature to create a complex ecphrasis of his villa which balances claims for humility with aristocratic display. The final chapter argues that Sidonius uses literary allusions in his last letters to ameliorate the reception of his early poetic career by linking his poetics to his prose corpus. These letters have been chosen to demonstrate the broad range of authors and texts which constitute Sidonius’ allusions; to show his use of allusions cover a range of literary strategies; and to demonstrate his literary reaction to changing events, spanning his epistolary career, from the first letter of book one circulated in the 460s, to the last letter of book nine, distributed in the last years of his life in the 480s. During this period Sidonius became a bishop, Clermont-Ferrand fell to the Visigoths, and the last Roman emperor in the West held office.

▼ This dissertation provides a wide-ranging analysis of the socio-economic life of the non-elite urban population of Rome and their interactions with the institutions and administration of the city from 275 until 455 CE. The traditional view holds that during this period the life of the plebs Romana became measurably worse, as empire-wide reforms precipitated a continual numerical decline in the city's population and shrinking economic opportunity. I demonstrate, on the contrary, that a large portion of the city's population experienced vitality on a level not hitherto appreciated by historians of the later Roman empire.
I first address the issue of the size of Rome's population. Through a close reading of various complex pieces of epigraphic and legal evidence pertaining to the city's food supply, I propose that Rome not only maintained a high population throughout the fourth century, but that there was also likely an increase in the number of those entitled to free food distributions, the so-called plebs frumentaria. The consequence of this argument is that a larger portion of population now possessed the opportunity to acquire wealth well above the level of subsistence.
I then consider by what means Rome's plebs might access and control their wealth. Work, labour, and urban commerce prove to be useful heuristic categories. The epigraphic record reveals that members of the plebs Romana continued to identify with their work as they had during the earlier Empire, while juridical and literary texts disclose that this same population came to be defined by and fix to their work. It is here that this dissertation intersects with the broader scholarly discourse on work and labour, as I show that membership in professional associations — collegia and corpora — was imposed on all craftsmen, artisans, and entrepreneurs. Far from functioning as restrictive and oppressive institutions, these associations formed an increasingly interdependent relationship with the administrative apparatus of the city, which members both collectively and individually exploited to their political and economic benefit.
The study concludes with systematic analysis of the construction industry in Rome as a case study both of collegial activity and of population dynamics. Late-antique Rome, it is shown, was a city in which a section of its non-elite population, its plebs, were able to turn the new demands imposed on them by the city and the state to their social and economic advantage.

▼ The Fourth Ecumenical Council, held at Chalcedon in 451, began a period of extraordinary social and political crisis across the Eastern Mediterranean. In Palestine, as elsewhere, the centuries that followed were characterised by internecine conflict between local Christians, persisting until the collapse of Roman authority in the region during the reign of the emperor Heraclius. Since Edward Gibbon, historians have struggled to contextualise this debate, ostensibly an argument between proponents of rival, but also substantially identical, Christologies. This thesis considers what role socio-economic factors may have played in shaping contemporary accounts of the Council's fraught reception. It asks whether this may have distorted our understanding of a defining Late Antique debate. Chalcedon's reforms had wide-reaching consequences, not only for the Empire's official Christological policy, but for the broader structure of the 'Church economy,' the systems through which Christian institutions were financed and maintained, referred to at length in the Council's disciplinary canons. Its rulings held particular significance for Palestine in its status as the Christian 'Holy Land.' Here I explore this facet of Chalcedon's legacy, whilst considering how the language of doctrinal controversy generated by the Council served to frame episodes of material competition between rival communities of clerics and monks. The thesis offers a new reading of the texts produced by key actors in these confrontations, many of which have been historically neglected. It follows in the wake of recent attempts to analyse other religious conflicts of this period in light of contemporary social or political conditions, or through reference to 'networks' of influence and patronage. I apply this methodology to the study of the Palestinian partisans in the antagonism which followed Chalcedon, whilst also drawing upon the archaeologically-grounded study of material culture which has influenced so many other areas of early medieval history.
