The Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire: Volume 2, AD 395-527This three-volume Prosopography provides a complete secular biographical dictionary for the later Roman Empire from AD 260-641. It has collected the surviving evidence about the personnel of the empire, about members of the senates of Rome and Constantinople and their families, about members of senatorial families still surviving and holding public office in the western lands (Gaul and Spain) no longer under Roman rule. It includes officials serving at the imperial court and in the civil and provincial administration, as well as army personnel at least of the rank of tribune and above. It also includes all persons, male and female, of the status of perfectissimus and above, whether holding office or not, and persons of learning, such as lawyers, doctors, teachers and writers. In addition to citizens of the empire proper, the work also includes non-Romans who entered imperial service or who in other ways figure in imperial history, among them many foreign rulers - Persians, Arabs, Franks, Lombards, etc. - or who served in the successor kingdoms in the west in civil, military or royal posts. This project is intended as a tool for research workers in the whole field of late Empire studies. For the first time there will be available in one work a mass of information relating to the personnel of the Roman Empire and the western successor kingdoms, heirs to the Empire, and of other nations with which the Romans had dealings, all assembled and alphabetically ordered from a wide range of sources. The work will be an indispensable work of reference for years to come.' -- from rear cover. |
