Zosimus (Greek: Ζώσιμος [ˈzosimos]; also known by the Latin name Zosimus Historicus, i.e. "Zosimus the Historian"; fl. 490s–510s) was a Byzantine historian who lived in Constantinople during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Anastasius I (491–518). According to Photius, he was a comes, and held the office of "advocate" of the imperial treasury.
Zosimus' Historia Nova (Ἱστορία Νέα, "New History"), is written in Greek in six books. For the period from 238 to 270, he apparently uses Dexippus; for the period from 270 to 404, Eunapius; and after 407, Olympiodorus. His dependence upon his sources is made clear by the change in tone and style between the Eunapian and Olympiodoran sections, and by the gap left in between them. In the Eunapian section, for example, he is pessimistic and critical of Stilicho; in the Olympiodoran section, he offers precise figures and transliterations from the Latin, and favors Stilicho.
The first book sketches briefly the history of the early Roman emperors from Augustus to Diocletian (305); the second, third and fourth deal more fully with the period from the accession of Constantius Chlorus and Galerius to the death of Theodosius I; the fifth and sixth, the most useful for historians, cover the period between 395 and 410, when Priscus Attalus was deposed; for this period, he is the most important surviving non-ecclesiastical source. The work, which breaks off abruptly in the summer of 410 at the beginning of the sixth book, is believed to have been written in 498–518.
This episode comes to you from the woods, taking place during an intense hunt for Waldo in the middle of nowhere. Amidst the chase, Joe talks about Pope St. Zosimus, who focused his brief reign on the advancement of papal authority. {CHURCHMILITANT.TV} http://www.churchmilitant.tv/ {RETREAT AT SEA 2015 - CATHOLIC UPRISING} http://www.churchmilitant.tv/retreatatsea/ {REAL ESTATE FOR LIFE} http://www.realestateforlife.org/CMTV/ {FACEBOOK & TWITTER} http://www.facebook.com/ChurchMilitant.TV?fref=ts https://twitter.com/Church_Militant {INSTAGRAM & PINTEREST} http://instagram.com/churchmilitanttv/ http://www.pinterest.com/churchmilitant/ {MICHAEL VORIS - TWITTER & FACEBOOK} https://twitter.com/Michael_Voris https://www.facebook.com/michael.voris.7?ref=ts&fref;=tsf [*CMTV PREMIU...
