Abstract:
In the course of archaeological excavations of the north section of the imperial palace in Sirmium (locality 85), conducted in 2015, as many as 39 lead seals were found to the south of column IV of the polygonal structure encountered in 2014. Nine specimens of imperial seals with a representation of four busts, i.e. images of the tetrarchs, are particularly interesting in this group. These seals appear in three iconographic variants (a-c) depending on whether the four busts are positioned in two rows or in a single row and whether they are of identical size. The discovery of imperial lead seals with the busts of tetrarchs bears witness to the importance of Sirmium at the time of the tetrarchy, not only as an army base for Diocletian?s wars against the Sarmatians, but also as a commercial centre where the deliveries of various products also arrived. They were, among other things, intended for building and decorating the polygonal structure used for celebrating the imperial cult.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article examines the public image of the emperor Carausius, a Roman army officer who claimed authority over Britain and parts of Gaul between 286 and 293, in opposition to Diocletian and his Tetrarchic colleagues. Carausius’ coinage celebrated his fleet, his naval prowess, and his divine support from Neptune and Oceanus. These designs were created as part of a strategy to refashion Carausius’ humble background as a sailor into a statement of imperial suitability. However, Carausius’ claims were undermined by the orators who delivered speeches in praise of his Tetrarchic rivals, Maximian and Constantius, in the years 289, 291, and 297. Their panegyrics subverted Carausius’ naval experience and claim to control the Ocean, instead portraying him as a pirate, brigand, and threat to the people of Gaul. After the reconquest of Britain, the medallions and monuments of the Tetrarchic regime commemorated their own naval success and control over the Ocean, suppressing the claims of Carausius. The propaganda campaign against Carausius was driven by the fact that he was an emperor of undistinguished origin, who had risen up through the ranks of the army, just like the Tetrarchs themselves. The emperors wished to distance themselves from their former colleague in order to discourage further rebellion from within the officer corps.

Abstract:
AbstractMythological twin brothers played key roles in the establishment and preservation of the city of Rome. This article examines the use of one particular set of brothers, Castor and Pollux, by rival forms of government in the early fourth century ce. In his work on the representations of the Dioscuri on Roman coinage, Gricourt argues that the Dioscuri symbolise the same ideas on Maxentius’ coins as on other such imperial coinage, namely their role in maintaining the eternal order of the universe and their roles as protectors of soldiers.1 More recently, however, Marlowe and Hekster have successfully argued that Maxentius’ ideology was a counterclaim to that presented by the Tetrarchy.2 Developing this notion further with respect to Maxentius’ coinage, this article argues that, for the Tetrarchs, Castor and Pollux served as the ideal figures to symbolise the importance of concordia in the collective rule of like-minded individuals. Maxentius, however, used Castor and Pollux in connection with other symbols of the city of Rome (such as Romulus, Remus, and the she-wolf) on his coins to promote his restoration of the city of Rome (in conjunction with titles such as princeps and conservator urbis suae). The examination of this ideological conflict between Maxentius and the Tetrarchy, through their use of Castor and Pollux on their coinage, sheds light on the mutability of myth and its role in the promotion of particular aspects of mythological narratives and figures to support an individual’s own claims to power.

Abstract:
My thesis traces developments in the early imperial dress of the emperors and empresses as depicted in art from Diocletian’s reign to Justinian II’s; my analysis includes examples ranging in size from large monuments to small coins. Two theses have been written on the later period but none on the earlier one when the most change occurred. I demonstrate that the emperor’s dress differed from other forms of elite male dress because several symbols of rule, such as the purple cloak and sceptre were associated with it. During this time period, the emperor wore three types of dress: military costume consisting of a cuirass and cloak; civic dress consisting of such garments as a purple cloak called a chlamys, a tunic and jewelled slippers; and ceremonial dress consisting of several types of togas and an under-tunic. The empress' dress consisted of several forms of Roman dress, the chlamys and tunic, and finally bridal dress. In my analyses, I first place the items in their historical context, describe the dress portrayed, and finally analyse how they are used in each work of art. I also provide information on such subjects as the history of imperial purple and the types of crowns.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation analyzes the struggle between the imperial court and the periphery in the context of Justinian’s reforms in the early A.D. 530s. The reforms targeting select Roman provinces sought to reduce the size of the imperial bureaucracy while simultaneously attempting to maintain imperial vertical authority. The reforms epitomize the imperial court’s struggle to rein in the imperial bureaucracy in the provinces of the Roman Empire. The analysis is framed within the cultural, social, political and economic evolution occurring in Late Antiquity. It shall be proposed that the reforms are one example of the imperial court’s attempt to limit the distance between itself and its provincial resources, particularly with regard to fiscality. The reforms also embody the political dynamics between the emperor and his bureaucracy, which is composed of the Roman elite. Roughly two centuries earlier, the Tetrarchic reforms fundamentally changed the relationship between both parties. Specifically, the upper stratum of the aristocracy saw the balance of power tilt in its favor substantially.

Abstract:
Despite a vast amount of research on Late Antiquity, little attention has been paid to certain figures that prove to be influential during this time. The focus of historians on Constantine I, the first Roman Emperor to allegedly convert to Christianity, has often come at the cost of ignoring Constantine's predecessor, Diocletian, sometimes known as the "Second Father of the Roman Empire". The success of Constantine's empire has often been attributed to the work and reforms of Diocletian, but there have been very few studies of the man beyond simple biography. This work will attempt to view three of Diocletian's major innovations in order to determine the lasting effect they had over the Roman Empire and our modern world. By studying 1) Diocletian's assumption of new, divinely inspired titles; 2)Diocletian's efforts at controlling prices in the marketplace; and 3)Diocletian's Persecution of the Christians in the Roman Empire at the turn of the fourth century CE, we can gain valuable insight into the ways through which Roman Emperors extended their authority throughout different facets of Ancient World, including developments that would shape the future of Western Civilization for the next 1400 years.

When focusing our vision of the Roman world the end of the third century AD, we find an interesting move about imperial political structure. It was from this period that intensified civil wars and usurpations of power and at the same time, we settled a series of transformations, covering from administrative reforms, to the ideological theoretical redefinition of imperial power with the introduction of Dominato. The Emperor Diocletian government was one of the landmarks of this process, mainly because this sovereign could undertake reforms of autocratic principles concerning the administration, supervision and military subject. In this context, the legitimacy of the ruler was an important hub for maintaining unity. This work aims to analyze the relations of power that moved the imperial policy during the consolidation of the Tetrarchy (284-305 AD), and the links that were established between the imperial government and the provinces, focusing on the power of legitimation process. For such, we selected as the source panegyirícs discourses produced in the third century AD, authored Mamertino, Eumênio and anonymous, the Breviarium Historiæ Romanae of Eutropius, and Liber de Caesaribus of Aurelius Victor, produced in the fourth century AD. Even if such works do not on purpose of discuss the relations of integration by promoting a praise to the Emperor, in the case of panegyrics, and a narrative about the history of the Empire, in the case of breviaries, the author is compelled to treat these elements society and the imperial politics, which ultimately reveal these relations. When approaching the formation of the Tetrarchy from the perspective of panegyrists and breviarists, attempt to identify the structure of the procedures in this form of political organization. In addition to the formulation of an idealized image of the rulers, the construction of the legitimacy of sovereigns who were in charge of this reorganization was a constituent part of building an imperial unit in the third century AD.
Ao direcionarmos nosso olhar para o mundo romano do final do século III d.C., verificamos um movimento interessante acerca estrutura política imperial. Foi a partir deste período que se intensificaram as guerras civis e as usurpações do poder e, ao mesmo tempo, que se estabeleceram uma série de transformações, englobando desde reformas administrativas, até a redefinição teórico-ideológica do poder imperial com a instauração do Dominato. O governo do Imperador Diocleciano foi um dos marcos deste processo, principalmente porque este soberano conseguiu empreender reformas de princípios autocráticos concernentes à administração, fiscalização e questão militar. Em tal contexto, a legitimação do soberano era um eixo importante para a manutenção da unidade. Este trabalho propõe analisar as relações de poder que movimentaram a política imperial durante a consolidação da Tetrarquia (284-305 d.C.), bem como os vínculos que se estabeleciam entre o governo imperial e as províncias, com foco no processo de legitimação do poder. Para tal, selecionamos como fonte os discursos panegirísticos produzidos no século III d.C., de autoria de Mamertino, Eumênio e anônima, o Breviarium Historiæ Romanæ, de autoria de Eutrópio, e Liber de Caesaribus, de Aurélio Victor, produzidos no século IV d.C. Mesmo que tais obras não tenham o objetivo de discutir sobre as relações de integração, ao promover um elogio ao Imperador, no caso dos panegíricos, e uma narrativa sobre a história do Império, no caso dos breviários, o autor é impelido a tratar estes elementos da sociedade e da política imperial, o que acaba por desvelar estas relações. Ao abordar a formação da Tetrarquia sob a ótica dos panegiristas e breviaristas, procura-se identificar o procedimento de estruturação desta forma de organização política. Para além da formulação de uma imagem idealizada dos governantes, a construção da legitimação dos soberanos que estavam à frente deste processo de reorganização era parte constituinte da construção de uma unidade imperial no século III d.C.

Abstract:
Recent scholarship on Roman religion has emphasised the ‘secularity’ of late antique culture and treated Christian polemics (the main accounts of fourth-century polytheism) as exercises in constructing artificial boundaries between ‘pagans’ and ‘Christians’. Neither approach does justice to the dynamic interaction between Christian writers and traditional religious thought. Pagan, philosophical henotheism and the anti-Christian legislation of Decius, Valerian, and the Tetrarchs paralleled the common Christian division between ‘gentiles’ or ‘pagans’ and ‘Christians’. Christian thinkers, in turn, developed new ways of thinking and talking about ‘religion’ (using such terms as religio, superstitio, and secta) over the course of the fourth century. Religious polemic thus saw productive intellectual activity on religion, while ancient society was not religiously neutral: modern concepts of ‘secularity’ give too little room to the convictions of the devout pagans. This book offers a fine-grained account that reflects the complexities of both Christian and pagan ideas on traditional religion across the fourth century. To maintain its tight focus, it deals exclusively with the Western, Latin-speaking culture that has driven much modern scholarship on late antique paganism.
