The information they provide is scarce and difficult to interpret, despite the fact that she is an important part of the alliance formed between these Germanic people and the Empire. In this article, these passages are interpreted in detail, while trying to reconstruct the historiographical tradition and relating the contribution of modern scholars regarding the historical setting of the alliance and the possible bigamous marriage implied by one of the sources.

However, the vast majority are simply disregarded as the product of the biographer's invention. One of them is Acholius, an author cited on four occasions. We believe that there are reasons to include him in the first group.

Borders in Late Antiquity were not exclusively physical. The period 230-700 saw many ideological changes that progressively departed from the Classical World and laid the foundations of the medieval years. Depictions and role models of noblewomen were not indifferent to these changes, which operated in every level in which power and social pre-eminence were affected. New forms of Christian lifestyle combined with the emergence of non-Roman power figures shaped gender. Common women underwent deep changes during this time; although Late Antique literary sources were far more concerned with noblewomen, empresses, and queens. Their role models, despite all the continuities, were newer and more different from their Classical predecessors.
This session provides three examples of the evolution of women in power in Late Antiquity, women who lived between two worlds: the case of an imperial princess between her barbarian origins and her Roman husband; the conflicting identity and political role of a Byzantine empress married to a man regarded as a barbarian by her fellow subjects; and the accomodation of a Visigothic queen between a repressing clerical role model and courtly alternatives. Three features of change and continuity in the ideological borders of Late Antiquity: Roman/Barbarian, both in the 3rd and 5th century Roman East and West; and Clerical/Courtly role models in Barbarian 6th and 7th century West.

On August 24, AD 79 Pliny had taken his customary bath in the sun, a cold bath, then had something to eat, and finally turned to study. At the seventh hour of the day, his sister called on him to notice the existence of a strange cloud ... Little would Pliny imagine that that prodigy of nature which he was about to contemplate from Misenum would end up becoming a catastrophic phenomenon for the inhabitants of the Vesuvian region as well as for himself. It only took a few hours to erase several cities from the map and radically alter both the landscape and coastline. The event was to challenge the capabilities of the imperial administration in managing a humanitarian, economic and social crisis for which there was no precedent.
The present congress aims to offer a space for reflection and debate on the forms of intellectual analysis and reaction developed by Roman society in relation to catastrophic phenomena, both those of natural origin and those which were the results of concrete decision-making. Our main interest lies in understanding those moments in which the daily life of Romans was twisted, and in detailing the responses generated by political leaders and individuals in these complex situations. In particular, we wish to investigate those processes after the moment of change, where not all are capable of overcoming critical episodes, but which become, for some, an opportunity. Although the meeting focuses on Rome as the main society, the intellectual “narratives” generated from the experience of the ‘other/s’, from conquered peoples to the peregrinus subject to the will of the imperial power, are not excluded. In this regard, we consider it important to analyze episodes faced by individuals and groups of various kinds (such as families, professional groupings, status groups, and civic communities) in all areas of social, political and economic life, and the perceptions which were the result of overcoming them. From these perceptions it can be understood that what for some would become an annus nefastus, for others would be an annus propicius.
Ultimately, the core of our investigation hopes to analyze the various forms of intellectual reflection and reaction to catastrophes or threats, real or imagined, public-collective and individual, and across a great variety of different areas.
We invite the participants to delve into some of the following topics:
Truncated lives? challenges, reflection and response to a catastrophic event: wars, genocides, earthquakes, tsunamis, pandemics, famines, etc.
-Romans facing adversity.
-New approaches to daily habits. The perception of unexpected events as an opportunity.
-Leadership and political changes after moments of crisis.
-Trade-offs of the moment: impoverishment versus enrichment.
-Strategies and challenges in public-private management and measures for economic-social recovery. Intellectual reflection on a crisis and its consequences.
-The reception of disasters and/or crises in the history of Rome.

El 24 de agosto del año 79 d.C. Plinio había tomado su acostumbrado baño al sol, un baño de agua fría y había comido algo, para dedicarse a continuación al estudio. A la séptima hora del día su hermana le hizo notar la existencia de una extraña nube... Poco imaginaría Plinio que aquel prodigio de la naturaleza que se disponía a contemplar desde Miseno acabaría por convertirse en un fenómeno catastrófico para los habitantes de la región vesubiana y para él mismo. Solo hicieron falta unas horas para borrar del mapa varias ciudades y alterar radicalmente el paisaje y la línea de la costa. El evento iba a desafiar las capacidades de la administración imperial para gestionar una crisis humanitaria, económica y social para la que no existían precedentes.
El presente congreso pretende ofrecer un espacio de reflexión y debate sobre las formas de análisis intelectual y de reacción desarrollados por la sociedad romana en relación con los fenómenos de carácter catastrófico, tanto los que son de origen natural como aquellos resultados de la toma de decisiones concretas. Nuestro interés principal radica en conocer esos momentos en los que se torció la cotidianeidad de las romanas y romanos, y detallar las respuestas generadas por los responsables políticos y los individuos ante estas complejas situaciones. Resulta de nuestro interés indagar en aquellos procesos posteriores al momento de cambio, donde no todos son capaces de sobreponerse a episodios críticos, y que, por el contrario, se convierten en una oportunidad para algunos. Si bien el encuentro se centra en Roma como sociedad protagonista, no se excluyen las “narrativas” intelectuales generadas desde la experiencia del ‘otro/s’, desde los pueblos conquistados al peregrinus sometido al arbitrio del poder imperial. En este sentido, consideramos importante analizar episodios afrontados por individuos y colectivos de tipo diverso (una familia, una categoría profesional, un grupo de status, una comunicad cívica) en todos los ámbitos de la vida social y política, o la economía, y la percepción resultante de la superación de los mismos. Desde esta percepción se puede entender que, a lo que para algunos se convertiría en un annus nefastus, para otros sería un annus propicius.
En definitiva, el núcleo de la cuestión sería analizar las diversas formas de reflexión intelectual y de reacción ante catástrofes o amenazas, reales o imaginarias, públicas-colectivas e individuales; en todo tipo de ámbitos.
Invitamos a las/los participantes a profundiza en algunos de los siguientes temas:
-¿Vidas truncadas? desafíos, reflexión y respuesta ante un evento catastrófico: guerras, genocidios, terremotos, tsunamis, pandemias, hambrunas, etc.
-La/El romana/o ante la adversidad.
-Nuevos planteamientos en los hábitos diarios. La percepción de los eventos inesperados como oportunidad.
-Cambios de liderazgo y políticos posteriores a los momentos de crisis.
-Disyuntivas del momento: empobrecimiento versus enriquecimiento.
-Estrategias y retos en la gestión público-privada y medidas para la recuperación económico-social. La reflexión intelectual en torno a una crisis y sus consecuencias.
-La recepción de los desastres y/o crisis en la historia de Roma.
