On the date of the ‘Notitia Dignitatum.’

Two attitudes, broadly speaking, are possible to the problem of dating the Notitia Dignitatum. (1) We may suppose that the original document from which our text is derived was from first to last an official copy kept in the principal chancellery of the Western Empire at Ravenna, that the text suffered no material alteration in its subsequent history, and that, in consequence, items, such as late military formations whose period can be fixed, may safely be used to date the picture of the Empire presented by the document as a whole. Or (2) we may regard the original as a copy (perhaps an early one) which had passed into private hands and had suffered interpolation of items of later date.

Roman Society in the Last Century of the Western Empire, <i>by Samuel Dill</i>

The Struggle of the Christian Civilization from the Era of the Crusades to the fall of the East (1453)

The compromise between the ecclesiastical and civil powers of the Western Empire, effected at Worms (1122), did not touch the Byzantines. The Roman world, still nominally one, had indeed for 300 years and more maintained the some-what artificial position which obliged the West largely to ignore the East; and then led the East to regard the West as little more than a dependency. This had grown to be, in many ways, inevitable, even from the time of the Diocletian arrangement of the Empire; and it acquired special force amidst the various partitionings of Constantine's descendants and successors.

The Advance of the Christian Civilization in Europe, from the Fall of the Western Empire to the Times of Charlemagne.

The “Fall of the Western Empire” was a re-gathering of the Roman world under one Head, administering one Law. The Emperor of the West, Valentinian III. (442), after his peace with Genseric, and before the Council of Chalcedon (451), had promulgated the “Theodosian Code” in Europe; so that the reunion of the empire was in many ways more easy than it might otherwise have been (476).

XXI.—On the Byzantine Origin of the Church of St. Vitalis at Ravenna, with Remarks on other Churches in that City

It is hardly necessary to describe the situation of the town of Ravenna. Its ancient fortress occupied a strong position, resting on the sea towards the east and south, and, with an ample harbour for those days, it could not be blockaded by any army not possessing also a fleet. Lying out of the beaten track, and thus defended by the sea, Ravenna, at a time when Western Europe was convulsed with the commotions dependent upon the extinction of the Western Empire, was contentedly secure under the protection of the yet powerful empire of Constantinople.

The Transition From Heathen to Christian Civilization, from the Time of the Antonines to the Fall of the Western Empire

The old legal dictum, that Christianity is “part and parcel of the law of the land,” had a more definite meaning in the days of Blackstone than now; and the somewhat popular saying, that “religion is an affair between a man and his God,” considerably modifies the fact every day, not only in England, but in all Europe. Christianity, of course, has not been interwoven with the laws of Western Christendom for so many ages without greatly moulding the men and the institutions of the present; but we can see that its influence will, in future, be felt less and less as a definite objective system, even if more and more (as we may trust) subjectively.
