Captures the intellectual and religious encounter between Augustine and Vergil. The text seeks to open a door not merely on the content and formation of Augustine's ideas, but also on the meaning of Vergil's poetry at a time of political and religious change.
Imperial ceremony was a vital form of self-expression for late antique society. Sabine MacCormack examines the ceremonies of imperial arrivals, funerals, and coronations from the late third to the late sixth centuries A.D., as manifest in the official literature and art of the time. Her study offers us new insights into the exercise of power and into the social, political, and cultural significance of religious change during the Christianization of the Roman world.
