| Summary: | Our text focuses on Aemilius, bishop of Beneventum at the beginning of the fifth century. Unfortunately, Aemilius' figure, though of undisputed value - related to both prominent personalities of the ecclesial world between Campania and Apulia and illustrious families belonging to the Roman Christian aristocracy - suffers from a lack of sources. Our paper is divided into three sections. Section one, exploring Aemilius' own network of contacts and social relationships, is based upon the analysis of Paolinus of Nola's Carm. XXV and XXI. Section two, taking the cue from Palladius' records, pieces together different phases of the legation sent to Constantinople by Emperor Honorius and Pope Innocent I (405-406?) during John Chrysostom's dramatic deposition and exile, as well as the role played by Aemilius at that time. Finally, section three examines pastoral actions and church building projects promoted by the bishop in Beneventum, hypothetically ascribing to him the construction of the domus episcopalis. |
