The project’s first workshop, 'Leadership in times of crisis in the Later Roman Empire' was held online, 28-30 May 2021, with a focus on the fourth century.
We plan to put up some videos of the event in future
The Later Roman Empire was fraught with risks and opportunities for leadership, in the imperial, military, civic and church spheres. What we might call in retrospect ’good’ and ‘bad’ leaders and advisors flourished amid the various crises that engulfed Rome and its territories from 100 to 500 CE. Our workshop will examine some of the significant questions that arise: what forms did crisis- and risk-management take? What input did advisors have to crucial decisions of leadership and the choice of new leaders? What opportunities and risks did the end of one tenure and the beginning of the next offer to enterprising men, and occasionally to women?
