https://tidsskrift.dk/classicaetmediaevalia/article/view/152393
<p>This article concerns a hitherto unknown 12th-century manuscript containing the <em>Historia Apostolica</em> of Arator, a 6th-century Christian poet. The codex was donated in 2018 to the Wrocław University Library, where it was given the shelf mark Akc. 2018/1. It came to the Library badly damaged and underwent conservation treatment in the Library’s Special Collections Conservation Workshop. This paper describes the physical condition of the manuscript before and after conservation, as well as presenting its content. The manuscript has not yet been cited at all in the literature on Arator, it is not included in the list of all his manuscripts, and has not been described in any catalogue. Neither its provenance nor its fate until the 19th century, when it found its way to the<br>book collection of professor Friedrich Haase from the University of Breslau, is known.</p>Michal Broda

https://tidsskrift.dk/classicaetmediaevalia/article/view/152591
<p>This article investigates the cultural tendencies of the Gallic Empire (c. AD 260-274). The persistence of imperial institutions shows the Gallic emperors intended to convey an impression of continuity. Yet the numismatic record also shows the influence of a distinct cultural environment associated with the Batavian community and the Rhine army. Batavian forms of Hercules, originally developed through the transformation of the Roman Hercules to suit a local context, were elevated into Postumus’ (r. c. AD 260 to 269) imperial propaganda, confirming a long-held hypothesis in anthropology postulating a circular flow of cultural borrowing in agrarian societies between local and elite traditions.</p>Kristian Kanstrup Christensen
