Alumni Webinar | Emperors and interpreters: the making of the later Roman Empire
with Lea Niccolai
The final two hundred years of Rome’s imperial history are marked by cultural revolutions, from a new understanding of state authority and of the power and voice of the emperor to the institutionalisation of a new religion, Christianity, impressing a new course onto politics and society. In this talk, we will explore to what extent Rome’s most critical transformations were prepared by interpretive practices. We will discuss the traditions of competitive exegesis developed by rivalling intellectuals seeking to establish their role as authoritative guides for leaders and politicians, and how the debate surrounding the correct reading of divinely inspired texts and of the providential universe influenced politics in times of momentous change.
