    The Historia Augusta is the most enigmatic source of the late antiquity. Its author often departs from the truth, even on most salient issues. He not only suggests that he had written his work earlier than he actually did, but also assumes 6 different nickdonyms to confirm his version of events. Limitanei (the sold in of throntier districts) were mentioned in Historia Augusta four times. All these references, however, contain anachronistic terminology both for the times when, according to the author, they were to happen and the times of writing. In the article below I have analyzed these references. I believe that it allows us to better undr understanding of the author's mentality. One of themse references is dee paortant. For long time it was believed to be a testimony to the transformation of the Roman frontier army into a peasant militia. This interpretation seems to be rejected nowadays. Today this interpretatgment describes the use of land by limitanei soldiers, which is confirmed in codex sources only in the middle of the 5th century, it may serve as a hint regarding the time when the notes hmay have been taken. Meanwhile, in the presnt times most of scholars today believe that the Historia Augusta was w in the late 4th or early 5th century. While based on this reference, it is impossible to date the creation of the Historia Augusta in prove useful when starting a discussion about dating this source e again. remains a clue that allows us to start a discussion about dating this source again.Historia Augusta jest najbardziej enigmatycznym źródłem, które powstało w późnym antyku. Jego autor ukrył czas, w którym go stworzył, oraz użył 6 różnych pseudonimów. Sugeruje w swoich biografiach, że pisał za panowania tetrarchów lub Konstantyna Wielkiego, a w rzeczywistości nastąpiło to dużo później. W Historia Augusta zostały wymienione cztery razy jednostki limitanei. Oczywiście wszystkie te wzmianki używają terminologii anachronicznej dla czasów, w których miały zostać napisane, czy miały się rozgrywać. W poniższym artykule poddałem analizie owe wzmianki dotyczące wojsk przygranicznych w Historia Augusta. Pozwalają one nam lepiej poznać mentalność owego autora. Szczególnie jedna z tych wzmianek była istotna. Długo uważano, że jest ona świadectwem przekształcenia rzymskiej armii nadgranicznej w chłopską milicję. Dziś zarzucono tego typu przekonanie. Niemniej opisuje ona użytkowanie ziemi przez żołnierzy limitanei, co poświadczone jest w źródłach kodeksowych dopiero w połowie V w. Tymczasem większość badaczy uważa dziś, że Historia Augusta powstała w końcu IV lub na początku V w. O ile na podstawie tej wzmianki nie sposób jednoznacznie datować powstanie Historia Augusta na połowę V w., to jednak pozostaje ona wskazówką, która pozwala na nowo rozpocząć dyskusję o datowaniu powstania tego źródła

    Orientador : Marilene WeinhardtDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras. Defesa: Curitiba, 2010Inclui bibliografiaResumo: Desde Lukács a utilização de personagens históricos vem sendo apontada como uma das características do Romance Histórico. Teorias recentes como as desenvolvidas por Seymour Menton e Linda Hutcheon reafirmam essa característica postulada por Lukács. Machado de Assis há muito deixou de ser, apenas, o autor de célebres contos e romances. Contemporaneamente, o escritor Machado de Assis surge na ficção histórica brasileira contemporânea como Joaquim Maria, personagem ficcional. A intertextualidade com a biografia machadiana está presente em todas as obras que usam o recurso de ficcionalizá-lo, não é somente coincidência onomástica. De acordo com os critérios ado ados: as obras serem lançadas ou reeditadas a partir de 2000 e apresentarem Machado de Assis como personagem, foram selecionadas quatro obras que compõem o corpus da pesquisa: Um amante muito amado: Machado de Assis, de Maria Eli Queiroz, Por onde andará Machado de Assis?, de Ayrton Marcondes, Machado e Juca, de Luiz Antonio Aguiar e A Filha do Escritor, de Gustavo Bernardo. Esses romances podem ser considerados novos romances históricos nos termos de Menton ou metaficções historiográficas de acordo com Hutcheon? A ficção histórica brasileira contemporânea apresenta uma verve paródica? A paródia funciona como uma forma de homenagem? De que forma podemos justificar o crescente número de obras que ficcionalizam a figura do escritor Machado de Assis?Abstract: Since Lukács the historical characters’ use has been pointed as one of the characteristics of the Historical Novel. Recent theories as the ones developed by Seymour Menton and Linda Hutcheon reaffirm the characteristic postulated by Lukács. Since a long time ago Machado de Assis is not only the author of famous short stories and novels. Contemporaneously, Machado de Assis appears in the Brazilian historical fiction as Joaquim Maria, fictional character. The intertextuality with Machado de Assis’ biography appears in all the works that use his fictionalization feature , it is not only name coincidence. In agreement with the adopted critery, to use works published or republished from 2000 and that introduce Machado de Assis as character, four works were selected for the composition of research’s corpus : Um amante muito amado: Machado de Assis, by Maria Eli Queiroz; Por onde andará Machado de Assis?, by Ayrton Marcondes, Machado e Juca, by Luiz Antonio Aguiar and A Filha do Escritor, by Gustavo Bernardo. Can those novels be considered as new historical novels in the Menton’s term or historiographics’ metafictions in agreement with Hutcheon? Does the Brazilian historical fiction contemporary present a parodic side? Does the parody work as a tribute form? How could we justify the growing number of works that transform Machado de Assis in a fiction character

    The biography of Emperor Commodus in Historia Augusta as a criticism to Dominate (IV century AD)

    No full text
    No contexto da Antiguidade Tardia, compreendida entre meados do século III d.C. e início do século VII d.C., observamos o poder imperial romano ressaltando o momento histórico do IV século d.C., que se apresenta em meio a uma transição de elementos culturais, religiosos, políticos, econômicos e sociais. Momento em que novas reflexões sobre as atitudes do imperador e sua cultura serão refletidas. Assim destacamos a História Augusta, que segundo acreditamos teria sido elaborada nesse contexto. Trata-se uma documentação bastante controversa e polêmica, que possui classificação do corpus, datação e autoria em aberto e em plena discussão entre os especialistas. Ao longo da análise de nossa documentação textual, constatamos a existência de inquietantes particularidades de caráter atribuídas ao Imperador Cômodo que, a nosso ver, se articula ao péssimo relacionamento que o este possuía com o Senado romano, que sentiu sofrer uma redução de espaço na política frente ao poder que o imperador agora possuía durante o Dominato. Em razão disso, buscamos demonstrar que o autor, ou autores, da História Augusta, mais especificamente aquele que redigiu a Vida do Imperador Cômodo, fazia parte do Senado e desejava realizar uma crítica ao Poder Imperial sob o Dominato, através da construção dessa biografia.In the context of the Late Antiquity, that comprehended the period between mid-century III AD and the beginning of the VII century AD, we observe the Roman Imperial Power standing out the historical moment of the IV century AD, which presents itself through a transition of cultural, religious, political, economic and social elements. Also, in this period, new reflections on the emperor’s attitudes and culture will be reflected. Thus, we highlight the Historia Augusta, which we believe it would had been elaborated in this context. It is a very controversial and polemical documentation, which has corpus classification, chronological dating and authorship open and in full discussion among the scholars. Throughout the analysis of our textual documentation, we verified the existence of disturbing particularities of character attributed to Emperor Commodus which, as we understand, it articulates with the bad relationship this emperor had with the Roman Senate, that suffered a space reduction in politics before the power that the Emperor had during Dominate. As a result, we intend to demonstrate that the author, or authors, of Historia Augusta, more specifically the one who wrote the Vita of Emperor Commodus, had been part of the Senate and had wanted to make a criticism to the Imperial Power under the Dominate through the construction of this biography

    Senaculum, or women’s senate in the Historia Augusta – anti-christian discourse or misogyny?

    W Historia Augusta, zbiorze biografii cesarskich, w których autor przyjął sześć fikcyjnych pseudonimów oraz ukrył czas napisania swojego dzieła, dwukrotnie pojawia się termin senaculum, senat kobiet. Dzieło to jest pełne nieprawdziwych faktów, więc instytucja została najprawdopodobniej wymyślona przez autora. Najczęściej widzi się w niej żart z listów Hieronima lub Nowego Testamentu. Uważam, że należy interpretować te wzmianki przez pryzmat antykobiecych uprzedzeń autora.The Historia Augusta [Augustan History] is a specific collection of imperial biographies, which confirms the fact that its author wrote his work under six fictitious pseudonyms and lied about the time of its creation. It is not obvious when the Historia Augusta exactly was written, but surely after the time indicated by the author. Saneaculum (the Women’s Senate) is mentioned in the Historia Augusta twice, but, as the work is full of false facts, it is likely that the Women’s Senate was made up by the author. Historians most often perceive this institution as a joke referring to the letters of Saint Jerome or the New Testament. In this article, it is shown that mentions about the Saneaculum should rather be interpreted as anti-feminist prejudice of the author of the Historia [email protected] Suski – doktor habilitowany, profesor Uniwersytetu w Białymstoku.

    Kommodus – zmartwychwstający gladiator (Cass. Dio 73, 21, 3; Historia Augusta, Commodus, 16, 6–7)

    No full text
    The author of a key monograph on Commodus, O. Hekster, has prudently analyzed two key sources in explaining the emperor's seemingly irrational behavior, the work of Cassius Dion (73, 21, 3) and the Historia Augusta, Comm. (16, 6–7). Both testimonies report on the Ruler’s participation in gladiatorial combat in 192 AD. This episode was usually considered a manifestation of Emperor’s madness. Hekster however, following T. Wiedemann (Emperors and Gladiators), concluded that Commodus in the arena manifested the gladiatorial ethos: courage, the victory of life over death and civilization over savagery. For this reason, he incorporated the Emperor’s show-offs into the religious politics of the Ruler, who identified himself with Hercules, the defender of order and civilization. In the arena gladiator-New Hercules combined both ideas. Probably, however, the episode mentioned in both sources gave Commodus more than identification with the hero. For the Emperor played out his resurrection in the arena. The transfer of his helmet through the amphitheater’s Porta Libitina (the bodies of slain gladiators were carried out through it) and its re-entry into the arena, in the eyes of spectators familiar with arena ritual, was seen as the Ruler’s return from the afterlife. However, there are no threads of the Hercules myth in this thoughtful scene, and its symbolism was contained only in the ceremony of munera gladiatoria. At least in this crucial episode for theatrical representations of the Ruler, the Emperor personifying the gladiator ethos was dominant, and this creation should be considered a propaganda masterpiece. Its effect, however, in view of the Ruler’s imminent death, was instead minor.Autor kluczowej monografii o Kommodusie, O. Hekster, dokonał roztropnej analizy dwu kluczowych w wyjaśnianiu pozornie nieracjonalnego zachowania cesarza źródeł: dzieła Kasjusza Diona (73, 21, 3) oraz Historia Augusta, Comm. (16, 6–7). Oba świadectwa relacjonują udział władcy w walkach gladiatorów w 192 r. n.e. Epizod ten uznawano zwykle za przejaw tzw. choroby cezarów. Hekster natomiast, idąc za T. Wiedemannem (Emperors and Gladiators), uznał, że Kommodus na arenie manifestował etos gladiatorski: odwagę, zwycięstwo życia nad śmiercią i cywilizacji nad dzikością. Z tego powodu popisy cesarza włączył do religijnej polityki władcy, który utożsamiał się z Herkulesem, obrońcą ładu i cywilizacji. Na arenie gladiator-Nowy Herkules łączył obie te idee. Chyba jednak wspomniany w obu źródłach epizod dawał Kommodusowi więcej niż identyfikację z herosem. Cesarz odegrał bowiem na arenie swoje zmartwychwstanie. Wyniesienie jego hełmu przez amfiteatralną porta Libitinaria (wynoszono nią ciała zabitych gladiatorów) i ponowne jej wprowadzenie na arenę, w oczach obeznanych z rytuałem areny widzów, postrzegano jako powrót władcy z zaświatów. W tej przemyślanej scenie nie ma jednak wątków mitu Herkulesa, a jej symbolika mieściła się tylko w ceremoniale munera gladiatoria. Przynajmniej w tym kluczowym dla teatralnych przedstawień władcy epizodzie dominował cesarz uosabiający etos gladiatora, a tę kreację uznać należy za propagandowy majstersztyk. Jego efekt jednak, wobec rychłej śmierci władcy, był natomiast niewielki
