"La ricezione antica e moderna di figure ed eventi della storia di Roma. Fra ideologia e tendenza" - Introduzione al Convegno di Studi
No full textIn the congress organised by Marilena Casella and Lietta De Salvo with the support of the Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti, moments and themes of Roman history of great importance are presented and retraced, in relation to which the interest of the contributions of the speakers is twofold: the angle of observation is in fact placed both on the topics as such, for the weight they had in the history of a civilisation, and on their reception and reworking, which makes it possible to speak of an era that is reflected in other eras, of events that integrate their meaning by handing it down to subsequent generations and contexts, maintaining their vitality
Le colpe della cultura pagana: riflessioni sull'Epistola 69b di Giuliano
No full textThe article is a reflection starting from the epistle 89b of the emperor Julian, which is presented as an illuminating document for the reconstruction of the values of the Hellenic civilisation, based on a precise paideutic-religious programme, which takes the form of a kind of canon of praiseworthy and/or inadvisable author
JULIEN : LES ANNÉES PARISIENNES
No full textThis article intends to scrutinize in what ways Julian’s stay in Gaul as a Caesar were decisive in Julian’s political
and military education, and whether a specific ruling style and manner may be detected in the Parisian years of
Julian’s government. Relying on a critical analysis of the documentation (Julian himself, Mamertinus, Ammianus,
Libanios), the author examines the military and civilian aspects of Julian’s training as an apparently inexperienced
ruler but quick learner. She carries out a prosopographical study of the Caesar’s circle and the administrative staff
which was then on duty, combining friendly and hostile persons. Gaul offered him a training ground and he became
even the experimenter of Paris as a capital. An attempt is made at reconstructing Julian’s vision of and attitude
towards barbarians, Celts and Romans, and how he perceived Gaul and Paris (taking in account what was Paris
like in his days in the light of recent archaeological research). The Parisian years are a valuable test for checking
Julian’s adaptability – and its limits –to life in a non hellenic worl
La donna, il diritto e il patrimonio nella testimonianza libaniana
No full textIn this study about the role of Antiochian imperial women I aim at investigating the interrelationship between law and society and at analysing the way social changes lead to birth of new laws, in the period marked by a gradual replacement inside the Mediterranean world. Leafing through the numerous pages dedicated to Antiochene society in the 4th century by an author such as Libanius, who has always set himself up as a strenuous defender of the Hellenic tradition and champion of the ancient civic ideal, and who was influenced less than anyone else by the attraction of the new ideas of Christianity, a pattern emerges thanks to which we can understand the degree of consideration to which women being was held in Late Antiquity, coinciding with a new morality of the couple, which tended to make marriage a conjugal community

FRA COSTANTINO E I VANDALI. Atti del Convegno Internazionale di Studi per Enzo Aiello (1957-2013), Messina, 29-30 Ottobre 2014, L. De Salvo, E. Caliri, M. Casella (a cura di), MUNERA 40, Edipuglia, Bari- S.Spirito 2016.
No full textThis book brings together the papers presented at the Conference held in Messina at the Department of Ancient and Modern Civilisations on 29 and 30 October 2014 in memory of Vincenzo Aiello. On this occasion, scholars of various nationalities and scientific backgrounds remembered the young colleague who died prematurely with contributions on topics particularly close to him.
The papers were divided into two sections: the first on the figure of Constantine, his Fortleben and the political and religious dynamics of the 4th century; the second on the impact of the presence of the Vandals in the Mediterranean basin in the 5th century and the new political geography determined by the conquest of Africa.
The collected essays offer original contributions to the archaeological, numismatic, historical-institutional, historical-religious, juridical and economic issues of the periods in question, and contribute to a richer picture in terms of ideas and results for future research in these fields
Ε ΕΙΣ ΤΟΥΣ ΠΤΩΚΟΥΣ ΕΠΙΚΟΥΡΙΑ. Rapporto tra legislazione imperiale e decreti municipali (Libanio, Or. XLVI, 21)
No full textThe work takes its starting point from Libanius, Or. 46, 21, in which the existence of a contribution paid by shopkeepers and intended for the sustenance of the poor is attested in 4th century AD Antioch.
In the light of the comparative textual analysis of Julian's letter to Arsace and Libanius' speeches 2 and 46, it is hypothesised that the emperor had urged the Antiochians to request some measure that could take away the privilege of almsgiving from the Church. To the request, formally made to him by the Antiochians, he would have responded with that rescript whose content would be entrusted only to these few Libanian lines

La retorica dello ψόγος nella polemica di Libanio contro i bouleuti di Antiochia
No full textThe study focuses on the dialectic between central and local power as expressed in the
work of the rhetor Libanius of Antioch. In the Speeches 48, examined here, and 49 he shows
an approach antithetical to the one through which he usually praised the exponents of the local power, i.e. the bouleuti, and, on the contrary, through which he usually addresses the representatives of the central power using the rhetoric of psogos. Far from the circumstances
and above all from the tones of the speech pronounced in praise of Antioch (Or. 11), a city that found in the boulè one of her reasons for pride, Libanius, in the Eighties of the IVth century AD, is forced not to contradict himself, but more normally to modify his point of view with respect to a reality that has changed. He in turn changed his approach in a way that corresponds to the concrete action he acknowledges to the λόγοι and to the paideutic intent pursued through the art of speech
