| Summary: | This article responds to the diversity of opinions surrounding the reasons for Arsenius's appointment as the teacher of the future emperors Arcadius and Honorius, his life and status in the palace, and the length of his duties. By re-examining corresponding sources and expanding evidence to include the texts never before used for this purpose, this article argues that Arsenius was expected to provide the two princes with traditional paideia combined with Christian faith and offers new observations on the duration of his teaching appointment and the chronology of his life in general. |
