The Weight of Empire

The Center and the Provinces How does Rosenwein explain the influence of provincial art forms from the third century onward? How do these artworks differ from the works produced in the urban centers? How does Rosenwein describe these provincial artworks--i.e., what value does she attribute to them? Looking at them in comparison with the more traditional Roman art, would you be inclined to say that one group is better art than the other? Why or why not? Rosenwein mentions the influence that provincial art had on the "center," yet at the same time ends her discussion by referring to a "renaissance of the fourth and early fifth centures." What does she mean by this? What are the implications of such a label?

A Donatist’s Sermon What beliefs distinguished the Donatists from Catholic Christians? How does the author characterize his foes, especially Constantine's desire for unity? Of what does he accuse the imperial authorities? Contrast this text with Eusebius’. To what extent is history always written by the victors?

Wickham: Chapter 2 Roman imperial authority was not enlightened in modern terms. Roman imperial authority was not destined to collapse in 400. Rome ruled the entire Mediterranean basin. Rome and other cities were “artificially large,” supported by a dole provided by wealthy individuals. Curiales: administrative class; traditional interpretation, that this group was hard-pressed, is in Wickham’s view overly negative.

Unifying forces Emperors: Wickham: “The empire was run by amateurs.” Senate: a bastion of prestige, tradition. Shared culture. Roman law: Theodosian Code Roman army Tax system

Local differences Most people were peasants—perhaps 80% More peasant owners in East than in West More peasants in villages in East Importance of commerce Multiple languages Underlying sense of cohesiveness

Beyond the borders Persia Barbarians: less organized groups Huns: attack on Goths, who entered the Empire Mishandling of situation led to consequences that were detrimental

Homework Questions 1.Wickham describes the Roman state as "corrupt" and "violent." Why does he press this point? How can he make such a judgment and still consider the past in its own terms? 2.What are some of the things that the Roman aristocracy shared in common? 3.What was the status of peasants in Rome; in particular, how did it differ between the east and the west? 4.In what ways did the patron/client system penetrate into Roman society, according to Wickham? 5.What can we know about the barbarians who lived beyond Rome's borders?
