The Late Roman West and the Vandals

About this book

The impact of Roman civilisation on the Empire's clients in the West forms the subject of the first parts of this volume. Even the most successful Germanic kingdoms of the 5th-6th centuries, the author argues, such as that of the Vandals in North Africa, could not escape the grasp of the Roman Empire: their politics and culture remained conditioned by imperial models and by the continuing reality of imperial power throughout late antiquity. The subsequent articles deal with the Historia Augusta, but approaching that difficult text from the periphery, by first attempting to establish its broad literary and topical context before considering questions of its nature and date. L'impact de la civilisation romaine sur les clients de l'empire en Occident forme le sujet des premiĂšres parties de ce recueil. Selon l'auteur, mĂȘme les royaumes germaniques, bĂ©nĂ©ficiant du plus grand des succĂšs aux 5e et 6e siĂšcles, tel celui des Vandales en Afrique du Nord, ne pouvaient Ă©chapper Ă  l'emprise de l'empire romain: leurs politiques et leurs cultures restaient sous l'influence des modĂšles impĂ©riaux et de la rĂ©alitĂ© constante du pouvoir impĂ©rial tout au long de l'AntiquitĂ© tardive. Les Ă©tudes suivantes traitent de l'Historia Augusta, approchant cependant ce texte ardu depuis sa pĂ©riphĂ©rie, tentant tout d'abord d'Ă©tablir son contexte littĂ©raire et thĂ©matique, ce, avant d'en considĂ©rer la nature et la date.
