The Decadence of Delphi The Oracle in the Second Century AD and Beyond

The Decadence of Delphi The Oracle in the Second Century AD and Beyond

Examining the final years of Delphic consultation this monograph argues that the sanctuary operated on two connected yet distinct levels: the oracle which was in decline and the remaining religious political and social elements at the site which continued to thrive. In contrast to Delphi other oracular counterparts in Asia Minor such as Claros and Didyma rose in prestige as they engaged with new theological issues. Issues such as these were not presented to Apollo at Delphi and this lack of expertise could help to explain why Delphi began to decline in importance. The second and third centuries AD witnessed the development of new ways of access to divine wisdom. Particularly widespread were the practices of astrology and the Neoplatonic divinatory system theurgy. This monograph examines the correlation between the rise of such practices and the decline of oracular consultation at Delphi analyzing several examples from the Chaldean Oracles to demonstrate the new interest in a personal soteriological religion. These cases reveal the transfer of Delphi’s sacred space which further impacted the status of the oracle. Delphi’s interaction with Christianity in the final years of oracular operation is also discussed. Oracular utterances with Christian overtones are examined along with archaeological remains which demonstrate a shift in the use of space at Delphi from a pagan Panhellenic center to one in which Christianity is accepted and promoted. | The Decadence of Delphi The Oracle in the Second Century AD and Beyond

Syrian Influences in the Roman Empire to AD 300

Syrian Influences in the Roman Empire to AD 300

The study of Syria as a Roman province has been neglected by comparison with equivalent geographical regions such as Italy Egypt Greece and even Gaul. It was however one of the economic powerhouses of the empire from its annexation until after the empire’s dissolution. As such it clearly deserves some particular consideration but at the same time it was a major contributor to the military strength of the empire notably in the form of the recruitment of auxiliary regiments several dozens of which were formed from Syrians. Many pagan gods such as Jupiter Dolichenus and Jupiter Heliopolitanus Dea Syra and also Judaism originated in Syria and reached the far bounds of the empire. This book is a consideration based on original sources of the means by which Syrians whose country was only annexed to the empire in 64 BC saw their influence penetrate into all levels of society from private soldiers and ordinary citizens to priests and to imperial families. | Syrian Influences in the Roman Empire to AD 300

Studies on the Melitian Schism in Egypt (AD 306–335)

Studies on the Melitian Schism in Egypt (AD 306–335)

The Melitian schism originated in the context of the Diocletianic persecution. In 306 under dramatic circumstances Melitius of Lycopolis decided to challenge his superior the bishop of Alexandria. An attempt at reconciliation proposed by the Council of Nicaea (325) was unsuccessful and the Melitians as they were now called often associated with the Arians would become favourite targets of a bitter and polemical Athanasius of Alexandria (328-373). The schism continued to exist in Egypt until the middle of the eighth century. Notwithstanding the rich source material including original documents and papyri the dissidence has received relatively little scholarly attention. This collection of essays by Hans Hauben focuses on the well-documented earliest phase of the schism from the persecution to the Synod of Tyre (335). It elucidates the chronology of the schism the decisions of Nicaea the internal organisation of the parallel church and the tensions in Alexandria caused by its repression as well as interpretative problems posed by the sources. The essays constitute an in-depth assessment of the causes development and meaning of the Melitian schism and together with additional related studies also included in the volume they paint a rich picture of early Christian society. | Studies on the Melitian Schism in Egypt (AD 306–335)
