Using the writings of Eusebius and Lactantius as a springboard, I discuss the significance of the idea that emperors suffered body, image, and name destruction as a consequence of persecuting the Christians. This is then related to a body of epigraphic evidence in North Africa from the time of the first tetrarchy, where numerous examples of the erasure of imperial names have led to suggestions that these are the result of \"Christians\" targeting their persecutors. This essay evaluates the likelihood of this and considers it in relation to the ways in which the memory of the Great Persecution was cultivated in this region. Through a close analysis of the context of some of these erasures, I argue that they should not be seen as random acts of religious extremism but as part of the careful management of urban spaces by municipal elites in this period. The ambiguity of these modifications left it unclear whether the stigmatization of imperial names was due to the political or religious failure of these emperors, thus merging the two meanings. This was advantageous, since the traditional practice of name-erasure could be interpreted in different ways depending on the values of the viewer and thus represented common ground between different groups.","PeriodicalId":16220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Late Antiquity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47584444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Corke-Webster","doi":"10.1353/jla.2022.0020","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/jla.2022.0020","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This article presents a new reading of On the Deaths of the Persecutors as a means to better appreciate Lactantius's political theology. Starting with this text's oddest feature—that though it ostensibly focuses on imperial mistreatment of Christians and the divine punishment that it provoked, much of it in fact does not discuss Christians or Christianity at all—and reading it both in its historical (non-Constantinian) context and as an active intervention in the ideological competition of Lactantius's day, can, I suggest, put our understanding of Lactantius's political theology on a new footing. I argue, first, that Lactantius sought to highlight the dysfunctionality of the non-Christian tetrarchs' interrelationships; second, that he suggested that these intra-imperial machinations had catalyzed systematic mistreatment of household and subject, and sustained social and economic disruption in the empire at large—in other words a continuation of the third century \"crisis\"—and, third, that he offered Christianity and Christians as delivering that which the non-Christian tetrarchs had not: harmonious imperial relationships, positive treatment of households, and a stable empire. This represents the practical working out of a theory of iustitia inherited from but designed to supersede Cicero. Read thus, On the Deaths of the Persecutors becomes the crown in Lactantius's oeuvre, a crucial epilogue to the Divine Institutes in which Lactantius sought to work through the practical consequences of his theology.","PeriodicalId":16220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Late Antiquity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45226903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whether for narrative or feminist reasons, the instinct of modern historians is to identify as many such women as possible by name. In this article, we instead investigate the range of reasons why late antique and early medieval authors left women nameless and establish a methodological footing for the analysis of female namelessness in such texts. We focus on royal women, as these were among the most high-profile women of the time whose names were often known widely. Leaving such women nameless therefore reveals particular rhetorical or political choices. In order to track changes and continuities of such choices over the period of Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages, we compare the representation of named and nameless royal women in three case studies: tetrarchic empresses as described in Lactantius's De Mortibus Persecutorum, Merovingian queens in Gregory of Tours's Decem libri historiarum, and Northumbrian queens in Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica. Our main finding is that throughout the period of investigation there was no straightforward relationship between female namelessness and the erasure or even oppression of women, at least in the case of royal women. Instead, it was often through the naming of women that a negative message about them was conveyed and through polemical texts that women's names were preserved.","PeriodicalId":16220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Late Antiquity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47314587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
