  1. Claudian

    File Wedekind Dichtungen des Claudius Claudianus.pdf thumb Works of Claudius Claudianus German translation by Georg Freiherr von Wedekind, 1868 Claudian lat. Claudius Claudianus was a Roman poet , who worked for Emperor Flavius Augustus Honorius Honorius and the latter s general Stilicho . NOTOC A Greek language Greek speaking citizen of Alexandria and probably not a Christian convert , Claudian arrived in Rome before 395. He made his mark with a eulogy of his two young Patronage in ancient Rome patrons , Anicius Probinus Probinus and Olybrius , thereby becoming court poet. He wrote a number of panegyric s on the consul ship of his patrons, praise poems for the deeds of Stilicho, and invective s directed at Stilicho s rivals in the Eastern court of Arcadius . These efforts resulted with such gifts as the honor of the rank of vir illustris , a statue, and a rich bride selected by Stilicho s wife, Serena Roman Serena . Despite his Greek origins, Claudian wrote in Latin and is one of the best late users of the language in poetry. Critics consider Claudian a good poet, if not absolutely first rate. He is elegant, tells a story well, and his polemical passages are occasionally unmatchable in sheer entertaining vitriol but his writing is tainted by preciousness, a flaw of the literature of his time, and his being extraordinarily cold and unfeeling. From a historical standpoint, Claudian s poetry is a valuable, however distorted, primary source for his period. Since his poems do not record the achievements of Stilicho after 404, scholars assume he died in that year. The historical or political poems connected with Stilicho have a separate manuscript tradition to the rest of his work, and this is believed to indicate that they were published as a separate collection, perhaps by Stilicho himself after Claudian s death. His most important non political work is an unfinished Epic poetry epic , De raptu Proserpinae , whose three extant books are believed to have been written in ...   more details

Early Christian sarcophagi are those produced by the early Christianity first Christians through to the 5th century, particularly known via 3rd century examples. The production of Roman sarcophagi with carved decoration spread due to the gradual abandonment of the rite of cremation in favour of inhumation over the course of the 2nd century throughout the empire. However, burial in such sarcophagi was expensive and thus reserved for wealthy families. The end of the Christian persecutions desired by Gallienus in 260 began a period of peace for the Christians that lasted until the end of that century and allowed Christianity to spread in the army, in senior administrative posts and even the emperor s circles. In the second half of the 3rd century, especially due to increased demand from this group of wealthy Christians, the use of sarcophagi spread widely, with plastic treatments following trends in contemporary sculpture.
