Representation Legitimation Power Valentinian Valens

项目摘要

The legitimation of rule of the late antique emperors has already been examined in many different ways. However, the special challenges the emperors Valentinian (364--375) and Valens (364--378) had to face have not been sufficiently taken into account. Compared to most of the other rulers, these emperors reveal singularities in four different respects. On one hand, these singularities sharpen the problem of the legitimation of rule. On the other hand they hark a change in the emperors' self-representation. These emperors formed a new dynasty and therefore their rule was under a higher pressure of legitimacy. Further, they were of mean birth and did not have paideia (in the sense of that time) at their disposal. In addition, they ruled as Christian emperors in a transitional phase of religious politics, which had begun with the Constantinian dynasty and had been accentuated by the break connected with the workings of Julian. Moreover, they performed a pragmatic division of the empire, which conflicted with the traditional belief of the indivisibility of the empire.Panegyrics form the basis of this reevaluation, of which a comparatively large number survive. The panegyrics were written by two orators, Themistios from the east and Symmachus from the west. Therefore, it is possible to carve out differences between the emperors or the publica. In this way, the project is able to show the Valentinian dynasty's potential for innovation for the legitimation of the rule of Roman emperors in a historically unique time of crisis and transition. Furthermore, it can in an exemplary way reconstruct the meaning of panegyrics as an indicator and factor in such processes. Hence, a gap in the historical research of the representation of late antique emperors can be closed.

已故古代皇帝统治的合法性已经被以许多不同的方式进行了审查。然而，瓦伦丁皇帝(364-375)和瓦伦斯皇帝(364-378)必须面对的特殊挑战尚未得到充分考虑。与大多数其他尺子相比，这些皇帝在四个不同的方面揭示了奇点。一方面，这些奇点加剧了统治合法化的问题。另一方面，他们听到了皇帝自我代表权的变化。这些皇帝组成了一个新的王朝，因此他们的统治面临着更大的合法性压力。此外，他们出身卑微，没有可支配的情欲(在那个时代的意义上)。此外，他们作为基督教皇帝在宗教政治的过渡阶段统治，这一阶段始于君士坦丁王朝，并因与朱利安的工作有关的中断而加剧。此外，他们对帝国进行了实用主义的划分，这与传统的帝国不可分割的信念相冲突，泛神论构成了这种重新评估的基础，其中相当一部分幸存下来。这些赞美诗是由两位演说家撰写的，Themistios来自东方，Symmachus来自西方。因此，有可能在皇帝和公众之间划出差异。通过这种方式，该项目能够展示瓦伦丁王朝在一个历史上独特的危机和过渡时期为罗马皇帝的统治合法化进行创新的潜力。此外，它可以示范性的方式重建作为此类过程中的指标和因素的全称的含义。因此，在晚期古董皇帝的代表性的历史研究中的一个空白可以填补。
