Abstract
<p>The Roman legislator regulated various sexual attitudes, according to him, morally reprehensible: fornication, adultery, prostitution, pedophilia, sodomy and homosexuality. Republican <em>leges</em>, and later imperial <em>leges</em>, concerned the problems connected with these phenomena. The Christian Roman emperors and Byzantine emperors paid particular attention to those problems. A significant extension of sources, necessary in the analysis of the problem, are the literal sources, and among them the Byzantine historiography of the 6<sup>th</sup>–12<sup>th</sup> centuries. The author focused on the issue of homosexuality in Justinian’s law. The analysis of the problem includes Byzantine historiography (Procopius of Caesarea, John Malalas, Theophane the Confessor, Simone Logoteta, Michael the Syrian, George Kedrenos, George Hamartolos, John Zonaras).</p>

Summary
Theodosiani libri XVI cum constitutionibus Sirmondianis et leges novellae ad Theodosianum pertinentes, eds. Intendo la descrizione di Giovanni Zonara nella quale il cronista sottolinea che il Giustiniano considerava gli atti omosessuali come sacrilegium. Il frammento dal Επιτομή τοῦ ἱστοριῶν (Epitome historiarum) corrisponde ad altri scritti letterari degli storici bizantini VI–XII sec. 7 L’edizioni critiche del Επιτομή τοῦ ἱστοριῶν (Epitome historiarum) di Jan Zonar, analogamente ad altre opere degli storiografi bizantini, provengono dal XIX sec.

Ioannis Zonarae Annales), μέρος α’ (Pars I), [in:] PG, Vol 134, coll. 9–326; Ιωά Ιωάννη τοῦ Ζωναρά Επιτομή τοῦ ἱστοριῶν (Ioannis Zonarae Epitome historiarum), eds. Il cronista utilizza il termine tecnico ἀνδρομανής (che ha passione per gli uomini), il cui rimane in un legame logico con il termine ἀνδρομανία (passione omosessuale per gli uomini), mentre questi termini sono uguali come gli altri cioè φθορά (distruzione, rovina); anche: ἀρρενοκοιτία, ἀππενομιξία (omosessualita maschile). 1–9; Ioannis Zonarae Annales (Ιωάννου τοῦ Ζωναρά Χρονικόν), v.
