Exploring the absence of a genre / Scott Johnson. 520 8 $a The Roman Empire traditionally presented itself as the centre of the world, a view sustained by ancient education and conveyed in imperial literature. Historiography in particular tended to be written from an empire-centred perspective. In Late Antiquity, however, that attitude was challenged by the fragmentation of the empire. This book explores how a post-imperial representation of space emerges in the historiography of that period. Minds adapted slowly, long ignoring Constantinople as the new capital and still finding counter-worlds at the edges of the world. Even in Christian literature, often thought of as introducing a new conception of space, the empire continued to influence geographies. Political changes and theological ideas, however, helped to imagine a transferral of empire away from Rome and to substitute ecclesiastical for imperial space. By the end of Late Antiquity, Rome was just one of many centres of the world. 651 0 $a Rome $x Historiography. $y Empire, 284-476 $x Historiography. 651 0 $a Rome (Italy) $x Historiography. $y 476-1420 $x Historiography. 650 0 $a Roman provinces $x Historiography. 650 0 $a Church history $x Historiography. 650 0 $a Space (Philosophy) $x History. 651 6 $a Rome $x Historiographie. $y 284-476 (Bas-Empire) $x Historiographie. 651 6 $a Rome (Italie) $x Historiographie. $y 476-1420 $x Historiographie. 650 6 $a EÌglise $x Historiographie. $x Historiographie. 650 7 $a Church history $x Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00860745 650 7 $a Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958221 651 7 $a Italy $z Rome. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204500 651 7 $a Rome (Empire) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204885 651 7 $a Rome $x Historiography. $y Empire, 284-476 $x Historiography. $2 nli 651 7 $a Rome (Italy) $x Historiography. $y 476-1420 $x Historiography. $2 nli 650 7 $a Roman provinces $x Historiography. $2 nli 650 7 $a Church history $x Historiography. $2 nli 650 7 $a Space $x History. $x History. $2 nli 648 7 $a 284-1420 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Van Nuffelen, Peter, $e editor. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781316997826 941 $a 1 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525041759.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E319F6ACF93011ED9B9A064150ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOOInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
