Salisbury brings the captivating story of Rome's Christian empress to life. The daughter of Roman emperor Theodosius I, Galla Placidia lived at the center of imperial Roman power during the first half of the fifth century. Taken hostage after the fall of Rome to the Goths, she was married to the king and, upon his death, to a Roman general. The rare woman who traveled throughout Italy, Gaul, and Spain, she eventually returned to Rome, where her young son was crowned as the emperor of the western Roman provinces. Placidia served as his regent, ruling the Roman Empire and the provinces for twenty years. Salisbury restores this influential, too-often forgotten woman to the center stage of this crucial period. Describing Galla Placidia's life from childhood to death while detailing the political and military developments that influenced her--and that she influenced in turn--the book relies on religious and political sources to weave together a narrative that combines social, cultural, political, and theological history. The Roman world changed dramatically during Placidia's rule: the Empire became Christian, barbarian tribes settled throughout the West, and Rome began its unmistakable decline. But during her long reign, Placidia wielded formidable power. She fended off violent invaders and usurpers who challenged her Theodosian dynasty; presided over the dawn of the Catholic Church as theological controversies split the faithful and church practices and holidays were established; and spent fortunes building churches and mosaics that incorporated prominent images of herself and her family. Compulsively readable, Rome's Christian Empress is the first full-length work to give this fascinating and complex ruler her due"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEmpresses$zRome$vBiography 606 $aRegents$zRome$vBiography 606 $aChristians$zRome$vBiography 607 $aRome$xHistory$yValentinian III, 425-455 607 $aRome$xHistory$yEmpire, 284-476 607 $aRome$xHistory$yGermanic Invasions, 3rd-6th centuries 615 0$aEmpresses 615 0$aRegents 615 0$aChristians 676 $a937/.09092 686 $aHIS002000$aREL000000$aLIT004190$aSOC028000$2bisacsh 700 $aSalisbury$b Joyce E.$0260525 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797294303321 996 $aRome's Christian empress$93842536 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04293nam 2200817 a 450 001 9910826013403321 005 20251116150906.0 010 $a9786610932429 010 $a9781782688198 010 $a1782688196 010 $a9781280932427 010 $a1280932422 010 $a9781405185028 010 $a1405185023 010 $a9780470997345 010 $a0470997346 010 $a9780470996911 010 $a0470996919 010 $a9781405182164 010 $a1405182164 035 $a(CKB)1000000000341993 035 $a(EBL)306530 035 $a(OCoLC)437186558 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000126112 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11143604 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000126112 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10030512 035 $a(PQKB)10217925 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4642498 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC306530 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL306530 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10240442 035 $a(PPN)162213298 035 $a(Perlego)2749117 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000341993 100 $a20060728d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 02$aA companion to Greek religion /$fedited by Daniel Ogden 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aMalden, MA $cBlackwell Pub.$d2007 215 $a1 online resource (522 p.) 225 1 $aBlackwell companions to the ancient world.
