Filippo Carlà-Uhink and Christian Rollinger have brought together a stimulating collection of fourteen papers that approach the First Tetrarchy from new and diverse perspectives. Some chapters come from well-established scholars, others are authored by younger colleagues – all downplay the ideas of rupture, novelty, and top-down authority once endemic to scholarship on the tetrarchy in favor of situating the First Tetrarchy within a continuously negotiated and re-negotiated arc of imperial ideology. In this effort, the volume’s authors muster primary source evidence from a wide variety of media, proffer interpretations rooted in geographic specificity, and frequently describe moments of continuity with pre-tetrarchic imperial practices. The result is a cohesive, exciting multi-author volume that successfully questions familiar notions of tetrarchic ideology. Appartient à la série éditoriale
The 'Tetrarchy', the modern name assigned to the period of Roman history that started with the emperor Diocletian and ended with Constantine I, has been a much-studied and much-debated field of the Roman Empire. Debate, however, has focused primarily on whether it was a true 'system' of government, or rather a collection of ad-hoc measures undertaken to stabilise the empire after the troubled period of the 3rd century CE. The papers collected here aim to go beyond this question and to present an innovative approach to a fascinating period of Roman history by understanding the Tetrarchy not as a system of government, but primarily as a political language. Their focus thus lies on the language and ideology of the imperial college and court, on the performance of power in imperial ceremonies, the representation of the emperors and their enemies in the provinces of the Roman world, as well as on the afterlife of Tetrarchic power in the Constantinian period.
