Silvio Roggo | Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main (original) (raw)
My research focusses on the Roman east from the fifth to the seventh century. I am especially interested in late antique Christianity, episcopal networks, prosopography, and the patriarchate of Constantinople. Currently, I am a collaborator at a project which aims to establish a new edition/translation/commentary of John of Ephesos' Ecclesiastical History.

Rather, this affair is connected to the unclear imperial succession at the end of Justinian's life. Eutychius became the victim of a carefully staged plot organised by some high-ranking officials allied with the future emperor Justin II. Their aim was to ensure that a patriarch favourable to Justin would be at the head of the Constantinopolitan church when Justinian died in the foreseeable future. Using the conflict about Aphthartism as a pretext, they managed to influence Justinian to remove Eutychius and replace him with John Scholasticus.

In particular, I treated the cases of Firmus, Gildo, Heraclian, and Bonifatius.
