About the courseThe MSt in Late Antique and Byzantine Studies has been devised as a multi-purpose introduction to the Roman world in Late Antiquity, to Byzantium, the medieval successor of the East Roman Empire, and to neighbouring peoples and their cultures. Yet after all, most historians have to make difficult choices, especially if they are writing about periods of rapid change.

In responding to these issues from the Byzantine point of view, the seventh century is no less critical than the sixth. In parts of the field of Byzantine studies, at any rate, the world has shifted, and perhaps most of all in that contested territory of early Byzantium, otherwise known as late antiquity. 10 Though see Kelly, C., Ruling the Later Roman Empire (Cambridge, Mass. Kaldellis, , The Byzantine Republic. The first issue of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies was published only four years after Peter Brown’s The World of Late Antiquity,1 and before the ‘explosion’ of late antiquity.2 This was also the start of another explosion: the emergence of late antique archaeology as a discipline, leading to its vast expansion and the enormous and ever-growing amount of material available today.

It is worth noting that Brown's World of Late Antiquity is very much a work of social history rather than discourse analysis. Hence in some way the sixth century was not really Byzantine (a view strengthened by Anthony Kaldellis’ often-expressed view that Byzantium was always Roman, despite his willingness to use the terms Byzantine and Byzantium in book titles and elsewhere).Footnote 15 Here I should record how grateful I felt myself to Anthony Bryer who welcomed me into the fold of the Byzantine symposia in the late sixties and seventies, when I was working on Procopius and Agathias and was generally perceived as a classicist.Footnote 16 This was before the idea of ‘late antiquity’ had taken hold. It was already controversial among Byzantinists – was it the end of the Roman empire or just possibly the beginning of Byzantium?Footnote 5 Gibbon is not the only historian who has found the sixth century puzzling,Footnote 6 while recent publications insisting on a fifth-century fall of the Roman empire in the west also leave the sixth-century east exposed. 26 Against: Cameron, Averil, Byzantine Matters (Princeton 2014) chap.

The enormous emphasis currently placed on Maximus the Confessor as an important historical figure as well as a very major theologian is yet another indicator of this trend, much stimulated by the publication some years ago of a critical edition of the acts of the Lateran Synod of 649, which made clear the central role played by Maximus in this event, as well as the edition of a hostile Syriac Life of Maximus which, if reliable, changes existing views of Maximus in dramatic ways.Footnote 43 The crisis and division caused by seventh-century attempts to impose the doctrine that Christ had one will (Monothelitism) have been brought into sharper relief. But as often, Byzantium is left marooned.Footnote 38 Worse, such an emphasis is in danger of playing to the very denigration of Byzantium that Byzantinists have been trying so hard to overcome.

This article discusses the history of Byzantium in Late Antiquity, distinguishing elements from the late antique centuries from those of classical culture.

Urban and Religious Spaces in Late Antiquity and Early Byzantium (Hardcover). Central to the sixth century is the reign of Justinian, yet, as has been noted, it is striking that despite numerous shorter treatments the years since the first issue of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies have not seen another work on the scale of E.

Of course patristic scholars and theologians have always continued to write on these subjects, but we can now see also a much greater willingness among some late antique and Byzantine historians to address what used to be considered highly specialist questions rather than ones that fall within the purview of general history. Carrying such an approach to its limits, Kaldellis dismisses the Buildings altogether as being insincere, based on the dubious premise that what modern critics should be looking for is ‘sincerity’. It is explicitly shared for example in the ‘Global late antiquities’ project recently launched by early Islamicists at Boston University, which calls for a ‘holistic approach to late antiquity’ that can include ‘both Europe and Islam as the heirs of the biblical legacy of ancient Israel and the classical legacy of Greece and Rome’.Footnote 37 The project statement speaks of the history of Europe and the need for a ‘more integrated and nuanced perspective on “Western civilization” and its origins in the shared heritage and conjoined development of the cultures of Late Antiquity’.

However, the periodization of ‘late antiquity’ is far from settled, as we shall see, and I shall argue here that the ‘explosion’ of late antiquity has brought with it a real identity crisis for Byzantium. Perceptions of the Body and Sacred Space in Late Antiquity and Byzantium seeks to reveal Christian understanding of the body and sacred space in the medieval Mediterranean. As the Roman empire declined and 'fell', contemporary glorification of the emperor's triumphal rulership reached new heights, strewing traces of the empire's perennial victory across the physical and mental landscape of late antiquity.

The contrary impulse can also be found in some recent publications on late antiquity which lay stress on violence. The concept of classicising history necessarily involves the question of genre, which I emphasized when writing of Procopius several decades ago, but this too is now subject to revisionism.Footnote 21 Anthony Kaldellis’ much-cited Procopius of Caesarea Footnote 22 also calls for a literary approach, though his is based on the old question of what the author ‘really’ believed.

This view is strengthened by the turn in the scholarship away from political and narrative history based primarily on textual evidence in favour of material culture and questions such as urbanism, settlement and language – a turn that has also made possible a secular approach as against the preoccupation with religion and specifically with Orthodoxy that still pervades some of the literature on Byzantium. with notes and an introduction, The Acts of the Council of Constantinople of 553: with Related Texts on the Three Chapters Controversy, 2 vols., Translated Texts for Historians 51 (Liverpool 2009); Sixth Council (681): M. Jankowiak and R. Price, trans. Das andere Zeitalter Justinians. One of the hallmarks of the mass of publications on late antiquity has been the amount of emphasis placed on religion, not least in the wake of the belated discovery by classicists and late Roman scholars alike of the huge amount of Christian and Jewish texts ripe for their attention. Thus religion in late antiquity is often now interpreted within the frame of cultural history,Footnote 24 while many historians look for evidence of questioning, indifference, scepticism and even atheism.Footnote 25 There is an obvious resonance here for the later centuries of Byzantium, commonly if uncritically believed to be an overwhelmingly orthodox and even theocratic society.Footnote 26 Similarly, the turn towards emphasizing religious violence for which Kaldellis calls in his contribution to the Marginalia open forumFootnote 27 has already happened.Footnote 28 Finally negative features in late antiquity are a theme addressed at length by Mischa Meier, in a counter to the ‘benign’ late antiquity of which some have complained.Footnote 29, Within or alongside this outpouring of publications on late antiquity we can detect another powerful trend, which I term the turn to the east, marked by enthusiasm for the complex culture of the eastern Mediterranean in the fifth to seventh centuries,Footnote 30 the incorporation of Syriac as well as Greek material and increasingly the tendency to bring early Islam into the late antique frame, aided in this narrative by the claim of an over-riding late antique monotheism and further complicated by the rising theme of ‘Abrahamic religions’.Footnote 31 The same trend is reflected in the work of some Islamicists, who are themselves presenting Islam as a religion of late antiquity.Footnote 32 The general turn to the east is also a product of the huge amount of archaeological material that has become available in the last generation, but in addition the new vigour that has manifested itself in Sasanian studies and late antique Judaism has fed into a rising interest in the Byzantine-Sasanian wars under Chosroes II and the events of the Persian conquest of Jerusalem and the Near East in the early seventh century.Footnote 33 From here it seems only a small and natural step to the incorporation of early Islam into the late antique world view.Footnote 34. 34 Thus Sarris, P., Empires of Faith.
