Un enjambre de rétores y un filosofo de Atenaslos apoyos del emperador Juliano a través del análisis de redes sociales

Abstract

n early 360, Flavius Claudius Julianus was acclaimed Augustus by his troops in Gaul. A year and a half later, his brief reign as sole Augustus (361-363) began, as his cousin Constantius II died before a civil war between them could start. The life, rule and literary work of Julian, nicknamed ―the Apostate‖ in Christian literature, have captivated ancient and modern authors alike, both in scientific scholarship and in the world of the arts. The fact that a considerable amount of his literary works has survived has made him one of the most studied figures of Late Antiquity, a period of great changes for the Roman world.In order to achieve power and carry out some of the changes he wanted to bring about in the Empire (the most famous of which being the revitalisation of traditional cults), Julian had support from various groups. In this doctoral thesis we analyse these supports from the point of view of Social Network Analysis (SNA). This methodology allows us to study the social structure of a community with the help of parameters that provide us with information on, for example, how well connected different groups of actors are within the community, or which is considered to be the best connected actor. The ARS tools also allow us to generate graphical representations of the network under study...
