Il sacrificio pagano nella reazione al cristianesimo: Giuliano e Macrobio
No full textThe article focuses on the emperor Julian's attitude towards sacrifices. According to his plan to restore "pagan" cults, the emperor officiated sacrifices. Ancient sources, such as Ammianus Marcellinus and Libanius, describe him as victimarius and mageiros, insisting on temporaries astonished, both his detractors and his supporters, since the general attitude towards sacrificing was by that time deeply changed. In conclusion, the author analyses the works of Macrobius on the same topic and observes the same distance between the ideal plan of the author and the reality of his time
Il ruolo dell’università nella questione 'ora di religione'/'ora delle religioni': una sfida aperta
No full textThe essay reflects on the political and socio-cultural role of the university in offering an institutional subject about religions (ora delle religioni) in the secondary school, in Italy. In order to rethink and reshape the academic discipline «History of religions», the purpose of this essay is to define the epistemological status of the subject matter. This is a twofold task: ad intra, that is a sharp definition of functions and approaches, and ad extra, that is the intention to establish relations with other disciplines and to go beyond the academic boundaries towards schools and social networks. Some concrete applications are the first evidence of this step progress: the suggestion here described planes to link strongly research and teaching and to bridge the gap between university and school in Italy

Rapporti e conflitti tra paganesimo e cristianesimo nel Codice Teodosiano
No full textIn the studies on the legislation of the Christian empire between the fourth and fifth centuries, considerable space is occupied by the interpretative difficulties concerning the Theodosian Code. As the earliest official formulation of a unitary codification of imperial laws, it describes the social and religious experiences of the empire in the phase of transformation from paganism to Christianity. Its contents and interpretation are crucial to the study of the historic-religious dynamics of confrontation, meeting and contraposition between religious realities, in the context of the institutional definition of Christian identity according to traditional cultural mechanisms and instruments
Giuliano imperatore e l'edictum de professoribus. Integrazione e senso della storia
No full textOn the so-called Edictum de professoribus attributed to the emperor Julian have been proposed a variety of interpretations and readings, starting in ancient times and until the present day. The study of this act is dealt with on the background the role and policy of the emperor. In the period that followed the Edict of Milan in 313, the foundations are laid for a transition to a society marked by religious autonomy of the state and the potential explanation of the religious sense in the plural. The analysis of the acts of Julian in politics of teaching takes place against this background. CTH 13, 3, 5 presents the rules that do not explicitly concern the Christian teachers, but the generic probatio of teachers, a kind of investiture that was headed, ultimately, to the emperor himself. The literature has instead seen in the letter of Julian 61c a sort of corollary to this rule, which focuses on the contemporary and subsequent polemic against the restrictive educational policy put in place by the emperor. The possibility of a link between the two documents is given only by conjecture that there is a nomos, in which it was an explicit prohibition enacted to Christian teachers to practice. The letter, in fact, recalls the masters of consistency, given that their profession is not only the form but also the substance, and the use of the word 'traditional' can not be separated from ideological adherence. The story of the exploits of the emperor is likely to depend more on the sentence for apostasy from reality, more from a perspective that ward off evil from the data. A certain indication of the context of persecution against Christian teachers do not reach either by the same Julian, who was skillful legislator, nor the contemporary controversy, which does not disclose any clear and specific in this regard. Julian would rather forcefully applied the prerogative that was attributed from the law, to make the probatio of the teachers, resulting in a casual, non-normative, unequal treatment against Christian teachers who did not feel consistent with the basic principles of their profession
