Constantinople, founded in AD 324, quickly became known as New Rome or Second Rome, eventually surpassing the original Rome as the Mediterranean's greatest city. This essay collection features prominent international scholars who explore the evolving roles and perceptions of Rome and Constantinople during Late Antiquity from various scholarly perspectives. The seventeen chapters examine the comparative development and changing status of both cities, addressing political dynamics, urbanism, and their relationships with imperial power and the church, as well as their representations in texts and images. These studies present revisionist arguments and fresh interpretations of key texts and events, focusing on the often-overlooked relationship between the two Romes while avoiding teleological biases found in previous scholarship. An introductory section contextualizes the cities and their development, while subsequent parts delve into topography, including the first English translation of the Notitia of Constantinople, and the political roles of emperors in both cities. The collection also analyzes literature, particularly the late antique panegyric genre, and examines their shared significance as Christian capitals. A thought-provoking epilogue discusses the enduring Roman identity of the post-Heraclian Byzantine state, ultimately enhancing our understanding of the late Roman world.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The city of Constantinople was named New Rome or Second Rome very soon after its foundation in AD 324; over the next two hundred years it replaced the original Rome as the greatest city of the Mediterranean. In this unified essay collection, prominent international scholars examine the changing roles and perceptions of Rome and Constantinople in Late Antiquity from a range of different disciplines and scholarly perspectives. The seventeen chapters cover both thecomparative development and the shifting status of the two cities. Developments in politics and urbanism are considered, along with the cities' changing relationships with imperial power, the church, andeach other, and their evolving representations in both texts and images. These studies present important revisionist arguments and new interpretations of significant texts and events. This comparative perspective allows the neglected subject of the relationship between the two Romes to come into focus while avoiding the teleological distortions common in much past scholarship.An introductory section sets the cities, and their comparative development, in context. Part Twolooks at topography, and includes the first English translation of the Notitia of Constantinople. The following section deals with politics proper, considering the role of emperors in the two Romes andhow rulers interacted with their cities. Part Four then considers the cities through the prism of literature, in particular through the distinctively late antique genre of panegyric. The fifth group of essays considers a crucial aspect shared by the two cities: their role as Christian capitals. Lastly, a provocative epilogue looks at the enduring Roman identity of the post-Heraclian Byzantine state. Thus, Two Romes not only illuminates the study of both cities but also enriches ourunderstanding of the late Roman world in its entirety. An integrated collection of essays by leading scholars, Two Romes explores the changing roles and perceptions of Rome and Constantinople in Late Antiquity. This important examination of the "two Romes" in comparative perspective illuminates our understanding not just of both cities but of the whole late Roman world. This item is printed on demand.
