Abstract:

This chapter analyses the text and epigraphy of two monumental inscriptions in Rome; both are important sources of information on landholding in early medieval Italy, and both shed light on the development of the Patrimony of St Peter and the evolving power of the popes as de facto rulers of Rome and its environs in the seventh and eighth centuries. Pope Gregory the Great (d. 604) commissioned the earlier of the two inscriptions for the basilica of St Paul, where it still survives (MEC I, XII.1). The inscription preserves the full text of a letter from Gregory to Felix, rector of the Appian patrimony (Ep. XIV.14). It ordered Felix to transfer the large estate (massa) of Aquae Salviae, with all its farms (fundi) as well as other nearby properties, from the patrimony into the direct control of the basilica of St Paul in order to fund the provision of its lighting; it was one of the last letters that Gregory wrote. The patron of the second inscription was Gregory’s eighth-century namesake and successor, Pope Gregory II (715–31), indignus servus (MEC I, XIV.1). This one is fixed in the portico of the basilica of St Peter, where it stands alongside another eighth-century inscription, namely, the epitaph of Pope Hadrian I that was commissioned by Charlemagne after Hadrian’s death in 795. Gregory II’s inscription also records a donation in Patrimonio Appiae, this time to provide oil for the lights of St Peter’s. This chapter investigates the form, content, and historical context of the production and display of these two inscriptions, analysing parallels and differences between them. It considers what they reveal about estate organization and the development of the territorial power of the papacy in this formative period, as well as the role of Gregory the Great as an exemplar for the early eighth-century popes.

Abstract:

Through case studies of archaeological materials from local contexts, Archaeology and the Letters of Paul illuminates the social, political, economic, and religious lives of those whom the apostle Paul addressed. Roman Ephesos, a likely setting for the household of Philemon, provides evidence of the slave trade. An inscription from Galatia seeks to restrain traveling Roman officials, illuminating how the travels of Paul, Cephas, and others may have disrupted communities. At Philippi, a donation list from a Silvanus cult provides evidence of abundant giving amid economic limitations, paralleling practices of local Christ followers. In Corinth, a landscape of grief includes monuments and bones, a context that illumines Corinthian practices of baptism on behalf of the dead and the provocative idea that one could live “as if not” mourning. Rome and the Letter to the Romans are the grounds to investigate ideas of time and race not only in the first century, when we find an Egyptian obelisk inserted as a timepiece into Augustus’s mausoleum complex, but also of Mussolini’s new Rome. Thessalonikē demonstrates how letters, legend, and cult are invented out of a love for Paul, after his death. The book articulates a method for bringing together biblical texts with archaeological remains in order to reconstruct the lives of the many adelphoi—brothers and sisters—whom Paul and his co-writers address. It is informed by feminist historiography and gains inspiration from thinkers like Claudia Rankine, Judith Butler, Giorgio Agamben, Wendy Brown, and Katie Lofton.

Abstract:

For the first time, the poems and accompanying letters of Publilius Optatianus Porfyrius (Optatian) are published here with a translation and detailed commentary, along with a full introduction to Optatian’s work during this period. Optatian was sent into exile by Constantine sometime after the emperor’s ascent to power in Rome in 312 AD. Hoping to receive pardon, Optatian sent a gift of probably twenty design poems to Constantine around the time of the ruler’s twentieth anniversary (325/326 AD). To enable the reader to experience the multiple messages of the poems, the Latin text is presented near the English translation with any related design close by. Some poems, laid out on a grid of up to 35 letters across and down, have an interwoven poem marking key letters in the primary poem, thereby revealing a highlighted image. Some designs include the chi-rho or numerals created from V’s and X’s to mark imperial anniversaries. Other (previously unrecognised) designs seem to represent senatorial, imperial, military or bureaucratic motifs or to derive from coin images. Shape poems representing a water organ, an altar and a panpipe reveal their relevance immediately. The introduction and commentary elucidate literary allusions from over 100 authors (lines from Vergil, Ovid, Lucan, Silius Italicus, Statius, and lesser-known writers abound) and mythological references, mostly to the Muses and Apollo. Optatian’s prestige as an official in both Greece and Rome is well attested - these poems mark Optatian as a fascinating writer of his time, holding onto the classical past while acknowledging Christian symbolism. Late Antique poets, such as Publilius Optatianus Porfyrius, straddled a divide between inspiration by the Muses and Phoebus Apollo and acceptance of Christianity, which the emperor Constantine had clearly embraced. Optatian solves this dilemma by referring to divine inspiration while marking many of his figural poems with the Chi-Rho, Constantine’s logo on his soldiers’ shields and some coins. The celebration of Constantine’s vicennalia (twentieth anniversary) in 325-326 provides the key impetus. The roles of the young Caesars, especially Crispus, are central; many of the poems celebrate the defeat of Licinius and the re-unification of the Roman Empire. In addition to the twenty poems and letter dedicated to Constantine (and his response), there are ten poems addressed to friends or acquaintances. Optatian is noted for his composition of cento poems which are fabricated from small snippets from over 36 Latin authors, especially Ovid and Vergil, but also from lesser-known writers. Linda Jones Hall explores the political implications of these quotes and finds that many of them can be seen as opposed to civil war. Optatian, a member of the senatorial elite, was redeemed from exile and gained appointments as governor of Achaia and as Prefect of the City. The elaborate usage of acrostic designs which incorporate additional messages, sometimes even in Greek, attracted both attention and imitation in the Middle Ages. Although some of the chronology is obscure, much can be learned about the rise of Constantine due to victories in West and East, by an analysis of Optatian’s panegyrical poems.

Abstract:

The chapter explores the ways in which the generic expectations of the letter differ from those of the decree, insofar as letters tend to contain discursive explanations of, or background to, the requests or decisions that they convey: the sender of a letter will not simply send instructions but will attempt to enable the recipient to understand why those instructions are being given, or at least to put them into a broader context. More specifically, Osborne argues that the Roman adoption of the convention, established by Hellenistic kings, that they would respond to cities’ embassies by writing letters, led to particular expectations about the Roman political community and about the ways in which authority was constituted at Rome—an important factor in shaping the peculiar and unhappy dynamic of the Roman intervention in the Greek world in the early second century BCE.

Abstract:

The writing of letters often evokes associations of a single author and a single addressee, who share in the exchange of intimate thoughts across distances of space and time. This model underwrites such iconic notions as the letter representing an ‘image of the soul of the author’ or constituting ‘one half of a dialogue’. However justified this conception of letter-writing may be in particular instances, it tends to marginalize a range of issues that were central to epistolary communication in the ancient world and have yet to receive sustained and systematic investigation. In particular, it overlooks the fact that letters frequently presuppose and are designed to reinforce communities—or, indeed, constitute them in the first place. This volume offers a theoretically informed Introduction on the interrelation of letters and communities, followed by thirteen case studies from four key cultural configurations in the ancient world: Greece and Rome, Judaism and Christianity. After two papers on the theory and practice of epistolary communication that focus on ancient epistolary theory and the unavoidable presence of a letter-carrier who introduces a communal aspect into any correspondence (Section A), the volume comprises five chapters that explore configurations of power and epistolary communication in the Greek and Roman worlds, from the archaic period to the end of the Hellenistic age (Section B). Five chapters on letters and communities in ancient Judaism and early Christianity follow (Section C). The final Section D (‘Envoi’) contains a paper on the trans-historical or indeed timeless philosophical community Seneca the Younger construes in his Letters to Lucilius.

Abstract:

Robert Persons’s De persecutione Anglicana, composed in the immediate aftermath of the first Jesuit mission to England, at the time of the execution of Edmund Campion, publicized the plight of the English Catholic community under Queen Elizabeth I. It was several times reprinted and translated into Italian, French, English and German, appealing to Catholic Christendom to assist the suffering English Catholics, both at home and in exile. The work is cast in the form of a letter addressed to John Gerard (later to lead an adventurous life as a Jesuit in England), in response to a request for reliable information about the persecution in England. This Latin text and English translation of Robert Persons’s De persecutione Anglicana comprises a critical edition of the first edition of the Latin text (Rouen 1581) with additional material from the authorial revised versions (Paris, Rome and Ingolstadt, 1582), and places the work in its contemporary context, paying special attention to Persons’s involvement in English and European propaganda and in the invasion projects of the duke of Guise.
