Lieu S.N. C., Montserrat D. (ed.) From Constantine to Julian: Pagan and Byzantine views. A Source History
London - New York: Routledge, 2003. – 307 p. ISBN 0-203-42205-8 Master e-book ISBN ISBN 0-203-73029-1 (Adobe eReader Format) ISBN 0-415-09335-X (Print Edition) 0-415-09336-8 (pbk)
From Constantine to Julian covers an age of major transition in Europe, which saw the establishment of Rome as a Christian Empire and a period of recidivism under Julian. Texts included are the anonymous lives of Constantine, relevant sections of Aurelius Victor and "Eumenius, Libanius" Oration 59, the Passion of Artemius and a selection of papyri and inscriptions. Most of this material has not been previously translated into English: The reign of Constantine, the first Christian Emperor, is both a major turning point in world history and a source of controversy. The adoption of Christianity as the religion of the Roman State gave a major stimulus to Christian writings. The work of Christian propagandists, such as Lactantius and Eusebius, has long been relied on for information. The fact that writing in the pagan tradition continued to thrive has often been ignored. From Constantine to Julian redresses the balance, providing translations of key pagan historical writings and panegyric as well as Byzantine hagiographies. It includes the Origo Constantini, an anonymous life of Constantine, Libanius’ Oratio LIX, and the Artemii passio. Each text is accompanied by an introduction and a detailed commentary. This sourcebook illuminates the history of Constantine’s reign. It explores the Constaninian process of myth-making and shows how the pagan sources help balance the biased Christian accounts. This book is essential reading for undergraduates and research scholars.
