workshop 2
The project’s second workshop, 'Leadership in times of crisis in the Later Roman Empire' will be held online, 3-5 December 2021, with a focus on the later centuries: the fifth century and beyond.
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 300 to 1000 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?
