Abstract:

<p>O karierze Aureliusza Wiktora nie wiadomo zbyt dużo. Sam twierdził, że pochodził z ubogiej rodziny, a mimo to Julian mianował go namiestnikiem Panonii II. O tym ostatnim informuje nas Ammianus Marcellinus. Stąd zaproponowano hipotezę, że Aureliusz Wiktor, podobnie jak Eutropius, pracował w cesarskiej kancelarii, był notariuszem. W artykule zanalizowano sposób przedstawiania postaci przez Ammianusa Marcellinusa. Historyk ów prawie zawsze wspominając po raz pierwszy postacie, opisywał je sprawowanymi funkcjami. Tymczasem ze sposobu opisania Aureliusza Wiktora jako autora historii nie wynika, aby pracował on w cesarskiej kancelarii. A przynajmniej Ammianus Marcellinus nie miał takiej wiedzy.</p>

Abstract:

In Authority and Tradition in Ancient Historiography, John Marincola downplays the importance of an historian's choice to use first-, rather than third-, person verbs to represent his actions as an historical protagonist within his narrative. Marincola's justification for this rests on the incongruous groupings that arise if one divides first-person narrators from third: among the former we find Velleius, Eutropius and Ammianus representing Latin historians of the Empire. However, as part of a wider study which examines Ammianus' nuanced use of allusion to earlier Latin authors, Gavin Kelly has recently argued for a series of close intertextual relationships between Eutropius and Ammianus. I argue here that Ammianus' relationship with Eutropius also extends to their personal roles within their narratives, and that Ammianus' use of the first person singular makes a bold statement about his historiographical programme.

Full text

Abstract:

The nature of the bond connecting the work of Ammianus Marcellinus with the now fragmentary history of Eunapius of Sardis or with Zosimus' Νέα Ἱστορία is an old and intriguing problem rather more notable for the multiplicity than for the finality of its hypothetical solutions. The question arises out of the perception that Ammianus and Zosimus provide coincidental material in their accounts of Julian's Persian expedition. Eunapius figures in the equation because, as we generally assume, it was he whom Zosimus followed. Since all scholars but Dillemann are satisfied that these correspondences indubitably require some hypothesis of literary affiliation, all of the formal possibilities have one by one been tried. Sudhaus, whose investigation of the similarities proved influential, denied that Ammianus could have been used either by Zosimus or by his source (Eunapius); he affirmed instead that Ammianus and Eunapius must have been linked by their own use of a common source, namely, Oribasius, the physician of Julian and his companion on the Persian expedition.

Abstract:

With this striking and bravura narrative of the earthquake and tsunami of 21 July A.D. 365 Ammianus Marcellinus ends Book 26 of his Res Gestae. Though displaying many of the features characteristic of Ammianus – daunting linguistic variation, brilliant observation of detail, a dazzling and blurred sequence of discrete pictures — this passage also stands out from the main body of the narrative. Most notably, the historian distorts chronological sequence: an event which occurred before Procopius' usurpation in September A.D. 365 is not narrated until after his capture and execution by Valens in the following year. It is also given a prominent position at the close of a book. Ammianus' perspective goes far beyond the normal limits of historiographical propriety — indeed is little short of omniscience. Finally, the tale of incredible events stands out for concluding with the historian's own personal testimony. Though Ammianus famously included lengthy accounts of his military adventures in earlier portions of his history, first person interventions in the later books are exceptional and always calculatedly striking.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is a historiographic analysis of the Res gestae of Ammianus Marcellinus. It begins with an analysis of the role of narrativisation in historiography, and engages closely with the ideas of Auerbach, which are themes repeated throughout the thesis. Chapter One goes on to examine Ammianus' compositional technique in order to reveal considerable congruence with other late 4th century Latin authors. It then turns to the causative scheme of the Res gestae, and reveals the permeation of Ammianus' thought world and historiographic endeavour by a universal providential ideal of Justice, figured as the dominant allegory by which he tests his experienced socio- political environment, as well as the primary causative agency in his work. The next chapter looks at the laws, as the dominant morality system experienced by the historian outside the text, and shows how Ammianus has produced a powerful critique of the imperial administration of justice through a forceful reappropriation of their rhetoric of the divinity of the laws. Finally, it turns to bodies, and demonstrates how Ammianus has used them as a corporeal metaphor for his own inscriptive and discursive practice of writing history, a site and locus for various discursive scripts of resistance, decorum and rationality. All in all, the thesis seeks to foreground certain dominant themes: Ammianus' alertness to contemporary discourse and participation in various contemporary literary techniques, his encompassing and coherent historiographic concept, and the role of Justice as the dominant allegory through which he has figured and tested his historical experience. It shows how Ammianus has conceptualised and figured his history in order to present a powerful and informed contribution to various contested narratives of the period, most prominently those of Adrianople, the emperor Julian, providence, the laws and the self.

Abstract:

This study is situated between the disciplines of military history and the history of ideas. It focuses on two late Roman writers; the bureaucrat Vegetius and the historian Ammianus Marcellinus. Drawing on linguistic methodology and a theory of ideology formulated by the Swedish political scientist Herbert Tingsten, this is the first comprehensive and comparative study of these two important sources of information on the late Roman military. The purpose of the study has been to elucidate and explain ideological differences and similarities between the two figures. Previous research suggests that Vegetius’ De Re Militari is a less trustworthy source given its author’s lack of military experience and his reliance on earlier written sources. By comparing it with Ammianus’ Res Gestae, a source often attributed greater credibility, this study hoped to demonstrate significant similarities that would warrant a re-evaluation of Vegetius’ source value. However, the conclusion drawn from the comparative examination of these two texts is that Ammianus and Vegetius did not share a common military ideology and that there are no grounds for a profound re-evaluation of Vegetius’ credibility.

Abstract:

This thesis argues that Ammianus is interested in, and attempts to define, a Roman identity applicable to his own multifarious world. It argues that Ammianus and some of his peers discern a clear increase in the number of foreigners and outsiders in the empire. While some of his peers lament this perception and adopt a hard-line approach, Ammianus has a much more nuanced view. It is argued that the model of Roman identity which he devises not only accounts for foreigners, but actually, in some cases, makes them exemplars of a flexible Roman identity based chiefly on the notion of appropriate behaviour. In this sense, his identity scheme is ultimately integrative and inclusive. As part of his definition of identity, Ammianus utilises an "outsider" perspective. This perspective is shown to dictate not only how he portrays his characters and their deeds, but even how he reflects on the substance of Romanness as a continual dialogue between "Roman" and "foreign", broadly conceived. It is finally argued that the historian's purpose in defining such an identity is to ensure that the eternity of the empire, in which he firmly believes, is safeguarded by future "Romans" who perhaps may never even see the City itself, but nevertheless remain committed to its protection.
