The textual analysis demonstrates the harmony with the contemporary Neoplatonic reflection, which inspires the lexical choices and the ways of presenting the figure of the confessor, whose story is structured according to the key concepts of late antiquity philosophical schools. With the two poems examined, Paulinus anticipates some characteristics of the subsequent me-dieval epic and, at the same time, outlines the model of the politician of the new Christian era. antic","PeriodicalId":38243,"journal":{"name":"Classica et Christiana","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70893284","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}

There we recognize three instances: esse cum Deo or the soul that lives by faith, non esse sine Deo or the soul that seeks wisdom without having found faith, and regressus in rationem or turn of the soul that takes up the fact of faith by the rational way. Despite the difficulty of the solutions, proportional to the size of the problem, and the predominance of the aporetic argument, the author confirms the need for an absolute starting point in reasoning. This conclusion will be the basis for the treatment of the problem in later works, providing the key to the first person in the question of immortality.","PeriodicalId":38243,"journal":{"name":"Classica et Christiana","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70893349","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}

The unity and uniqueness of Roman history . In Late Antiquity the breuiaria enjoyed a very wide diffusion in the field of literature, historiography, theology, law, military art, etc. The paper focuses on the historiographical breuiaria , especially Historiae abbreviatae by Aurelius Victor (ca. 358-360/1), Breuiarium ab Vrbe condita by Eutropius (369), Breuiarium rerum gestarum populi Romani by Rufius Festus (369-370), Epitome of Caesaribus composed by an anony-mous person in the first years of the 5th century. The purpose of our analysis is to highlight the way in which these writings reflect the evolution of the main ideas circulated in the IV-V centuries. In this sense, it can be appreciated that, although in a less developed and analytical way than other writings, the brevias capture the general course of thought of the time: from the “iconicity” of Rome to the recognition of the imperial character of Constantinople; from the anti-barbarian sentiment to the possibility of “Romanization” of the barbarians; from aggressive imperialism to defensive and pacifism; from imperium indiuisum to veiled criti-cism and, finally, acceptance of the division of the state; from imperium sine fine to imperium restitutum ; from din urm ă , acceptarea diviz ă rii statului; de la imperium sine fine la imperium restitutum ; de la „neutralitate” religioas ă la a-p ă rare prudent ă a p ă gânismului ș i recunoa ș tere tacit ă a suprema ț iei cre ș tinis-mului; „romanocentrismul”; legitimismul monarhic; conceptul de princeps bonus ș În acest text sunt discutate modalit ăț ile prin care autorii lucr ă rilor amintite subliniaz ă unitatea ș i unicitatea istoriei Romei.

Venantius Fortunatus’ De navigio suo ( carm. 10, 9), the description of a journey made by the poet from Metz to Andernach along the Moselle and Rhine rivers, has a lot of spatial information but it absolutely contains no time re-ference. The poet does not offer any information about the overall duration of the journey nor of its various stages; he does not place the journey in a particular season, nor does he include any of its stage into a specific part of the day. Temporal uncertainty also characterizes Venantius’ other odeporic poems, even if it is not typical of the previous Latin odeporic poetry. Except when its transience is considered, as a matter of fact, time seems to be a meaningless dimension in Venantius’ poetry, especially in relation to the past and the chronology of events. Venantius’ poetry, actually, is very related to circumstances and characters of the present, although with recurring openings towards the future and eternity, especially in the expression of wishes and prayers.","PeriodicalId":38243,"journal":{"name":"Classica et Christiana","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70892813","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}
