1690 History of Theodosius I Roman Empire Pagan v Christianity ROME Olympics 2v
Esprit Fléchier was a 17th-century French author who composed two important historical works – the histories of Cardinal Ximenes and Emperor Theodosius I – which are known to be highly accurate and insightful. While known primarily for his written sermons, spiritual memoires, and religious writings, these historical works have been Flechier’s most desirable works.
This book, ‘Histoire de Theodose le Grand’, covers the life and political reign of Roman Emperor Theodosius I. Theodosius was the last emperor to rule the entire the Roman Empire and played a critical role in the establishment of Christianity in the Empire and banned pagan rituals which were common in both Roman and Greek cultures. Theodosius is also remembered for prohibiting the holding of Olympic Games following the games of 393 AD (for the association with pagan rituals).
This 17th-century edition is more complete and extensive than the first edition, containing volumes from the 1690 and 1692 editions.
