Empress of the Western Roman Empire
POPULARITY
With supplies in their packs and an increasingly detailed map, the explorers travel further through Perpetua's western continent. While some learn more about local nature and culture, others stumble towards larger truths. A star descending from the heavens. A fleet across the blue. The striking of a clock… the ringing of a bell… This week on Friends at the table: Perpetua Prelude 04 PERPETUA PRELUDE - GUIDE Factions - [PPFC] Not much is known about these groups because the demo cuts off so early, but between some dialog, that one cutscene, and some screenshots, here's what I think is going on with them: Grande Sonnerie [FCGS]: That's the big city at the end of Prelude. It's a big city but also maybe a kingdom? Not sure if it has other cities and stuff, but it definitely has the four big districts (including the root magic school). Seems like a traditional fantasy kingdom, but I don't know if it has a king or a princess or what. The Elevana League [FCEL]: This is where Arley is from originally. It's like a bunch of elven (stupid) city-states (cool). One for each element/god. Not clear if they get along or not, but they do have those special warrior mages. The Dragon Watchers [FCDW]: The demo basically starts with these guys. They have both dragon “squires” and dragon “scryers,” and I know they worship the dragons, but it's not clear what that means. I hope they can ride them and that you can recruit one, but we'll see. The Holy Protectorate of Placidia [FCPP]: From what I can tell, Duriel, the one arena-based god city, is tied to this faction. Maybe they worship the gods? I remember an interview where someone said that the full game has a whole story about a prophecy, so maybe they're tied to that. The Hundred Burroughs [FCHB]: Even though Prelude sometimes says “burroughs” and sometimes says “burrows,” I'm saying BURROUGHS. Harlow sucks but he isn't a mole or something, so why would it be “burrows”? Anyway, it's all schools and stuff over there. Again: they say it's magic but neither of the two characters we've seen from there (from the Prelude or in the screenshots) actually USE MAGIC so wtf? Valte, the Winged Empire of the Blue Hour [FCVL]: These guys are my favorite. Why? Three reasons: 1. They can fly. 2. They have cool military stuff. 3. They're basically the ONLY ONES actually DOING ANYTHING about stuff. Yeah, yeah, they're probably the “bad guys” but the coolest characters are. The Passikan Remnants [FCPR]: There's that one water dungeon in Prelude that's tied to them, but that's IT. I don't know what their deal is at all, but it's probably cool because the dungeon is cool. The Ennead [FCEN]: Okay so I think those are the “The Ennead” which is a word that means “a group of nine gods.” I'll be honest, I TOTALLY missed them but JesseSetGo pointed the word in the background in Duriel out on the forums, and I went back and looked and saw it not only there but also in Grand Sonnerie, so it's not just the same church as the Placidia or whatever.

From Rome to Milan to Ravenna, the Western capital moved—searching for the site least vulnerable to barbarian incursion. And wherever the capital moved, money followed. And where there's money, there's monumental art, science, and literary culture. In Ravenna there were great figures such as Galla Placidia and Peter Chrysologus. Today, the early Christian art and architecture of Ravenna are among the world's great treasures. It's one of the few places on earth where you can walk into a church and have almost the same experience one of the Fathers of the Church would have had.

Mariarosaria Barbera"Donne al potere"In Oriente e Occidente tra Tardoantico e MedioevoOfficina Librariahttps://officinalibraria.netIn Oriente e in Occidente, fino a tempi recenti, il potere si è trasmesso di norma per via maschile. Fa eccezione un limitato numero di figure femminili che, poste sul trono in carenza di eredi maschi, rispondevano allo scopo di proseguire la linea di sangue utile a legittimare il potere del marito o del figlio. In un mondo di donne prive di diritti politici, la posizione di regine e imperatrici era spesso precaria. Sfila nel libro una galleria di quattordici donne vissute fra il V e il VII secolo d.C., quando l'Impero romano d'Occidente si disarticolava, lasciando il posto a ciò che si avviava a diventare il glorioso Impero bizantino. Alcune delle donne descritte hanno solo sfiorato il trono, come Anicia Giuliana, ma altre hanno regnato esercitando il potere nella modalità consentite da tempi e cultura politica: in Oriente Pulcheria e Ariadne, in Italia Galla Placidia, Amalasunta e Teodolinda. Con l'affermarsi dei regni cosiddetti romano-barbarici, emergono in Occidente donne forti come Gosvinta e la figlia Brunilde, affiancata in eterno dalla storia alla rivale Fredegonda. Si definisce così nel tempo un modello di trasmissione del potere, che proprio in questo periodo affonda le radici.Mariarosaria Barbera, archeologa, già Soprintendente della Toscana e di Roma, da ultimo direttore del Parco archeologico di Ostia antica, è stata per il MiBACT presidente del Comitato tecnico-scientifico per l'Archeologia e rappresentante presso l'Accademia dei Lincei.

Peter Chrysologus is known as the “Doctor of Homilies,” and he always preached with brevity. Every word was golden. He was archbishop of Ravenna during that city's brief term as capital of the Western empire. His sermons rang like poems, rich with biblical insight and glimpses of ordinary life in a fifth-century urban center.

En el último 'Con las botas puestas' de 2020, Ángeles Caso nos presenta la historia de Gala Placidia, princesa de Roma, que vivió en el siglo V después de Cristo
Conoce todo acerca de los visigodos junto al escritor Luis del Rey Schnitzler, quien nos trae cómo las élites gobernantes fueron alabadas y al mismo tiempo despreciadas por sus rudas costumbres, su codicia, ambición y acusadas por traer la ruina en todo el reino. ¡Es hora de conocer la verdadera historia de los visigodos! En las noticias del misterio de Javier:
Hunerico, rey vándalo y arriano, obstaculizó su elevación en la sede de Cartago hacia 480, sucediendo al obispo cartaginense Deogracias de Cartago (f. 456), pero lo permitió a instancias de Zenón y Placidia, emparentados con él. Por su austeridad, aciertos en el gobierno y espiritualidad, se ganó el respeto de los arrianos. Debido a un conflicto con el rey, este lo destituyó en febrero del 484 y lo desterró al desierto Tripolitana, junto con otros 302 cristianos. Fue llamado por Guntamundo, sucesor de Hunerico, hacia 485, pero ocho años más tarde fue detenido y condenado a muerte por el nuevo rey Trasamundo o Trasimundo, que finalmente commutó la sentencia por destierro a Viena del Delfinato (Galia), donde vivía el rey visigodo Alarico II. En la Provenza fundó un monasterio cercano en la tumba de san Amaranto, en Vieux, cerca de Albi, donde vivió hasta su muerte el 13 de julio de 501.

Romanos de aquí: Historias estupendas de los romanos nacidos en Hispania https://amzn.to/3eW6Ip0 Este es un libro que nos habla de nuestros amigos romanos, de todos aquellos que nacieron aquí mismo, en Hispania. Un compendio para disfrutar y revivir las aventuras de algunos personajes increíbles que pueblan nuestra historia, pero que conocemos muy poco. Desde Alucio, el príncipe íbero, hasta Egeria, la primera escritora hispana, pasando por los Séneca, Trajano, Teodosio, Placidia o los Balbo. Además de adentrarse en las apasionantes historias de muchos de nuestros héroes más o menos olvidados, Paco Álvarez nos invita a recorrer de su mano la geografía de la Hispania que les vio nacer, desde Cádiz, donde «siempre empieza todo», hasta el último rincón de Galicia. Y es que, en Hispania, como dice el autor, tuvimos un primer siglo de oro cultural cuando nacía el imperio romano y que hoy día sigue reflejándose en nuestra vida y costumbres.

Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de Cliophilos, un paseo por la historia. En la entrega de hoy, Arnau Lario, nos hablará de una de las mujeres más relevantes del bajo imperio romano: Gala Placidia. Hija del gran Teodosio I, esta mujer estuvo vinculada siempre a la púrpura, ya que fue hija, hermana y madre de emperadores. Nuestro compañero le dará un amplio repaso a la vida de esta gran mujer. Se casó con el rey visigodo Ataulfo en el año 411 d. C., convirtiéndose en una moneda de cambio de su propio hermano, Honorio, el emperador de Occidente por aquel entonces. Jugó un papel relevante en la política del momento, llegando a influir en la manera de ver a los romanos de su propio esposo bárbaro. Pero no todo fue bueno en su vida, sino que tuvo que soportar malos momentos. Fue entregada por su hermano a uno de sus herederos, llamado Constancio III y llegó incluso a convencer al emperador Teodosio II para que nombrase emperador a su propio hijo, Valentiniano III. Pero no os adelantamos mucho más, sino que os invitamos a que escuchéis el audio y valoréis vosotros mismos como fue la vida de esta mujer influyente de una Roma que estaba quizás pasando por uno de sus momentos más delicados.

The daughter of the emperor Theodosius I, Galla Placidia successfully navigated the tumultuous politics of the late Roman Empire to rule as regent for her son Valentinian III. In Rome's Christian Empress: Galla Placidia Rules at the Twilight of the Empire (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2015), Joyce Salisbury details the extent of this accomplishment by situating it within the context of her time. Orphaned at an early age, Placidia grew up in the household of Stilicho, a Vandal general who had established himself as the most powerful figure in the western Empire. The sacking of Rome in 410 made her the captive of the victorious Goths, eventually marrying their leader Ataulf. After the tragic death of their son and Ataulf's subsequent assassination brought her hopes of establishing a Romano-Gothic dynasty to an end, she was forced by her ruling half-brother Honorius to marry his general Constantius III. With Constantinus and Honorius's deaths leaving her son Valentinian as emperor, Placidia became regent for the boy, in which capacity she dealt with the problems of barbarian invasions, rebellious commanders, and the many other challenges of an empire in decline.
