商品簡介
Eight essays further explore how late antiquity was characterized by a complex engagement with the negotiable authority of the classical past, but travel beyond the center of political and cultural life that was the focus of the first volume. Among the topics are whether the Jewish patriarchate was a state within a state, sacrifice and self-transformation in the alchemical writings of Zosimus of Palopolis, the negotiation of status in Augustine Letter 23, and west versus east in the rhetoric of Ostrogothic Italy.
