Italy plays a major role in this context. To get an idea of the importance of Rostovtzeff for De Sanctis' school, we only need to glance at some of Momigliano's early writings, in which the name of the Russian historian frequently appears.

Late Antiquity: Then and Now

Antiquity and Its Reception - Modern Expressions of the Past, 2020

One of these was without a doubt the aftermath of World War I and reached its apex in 1923 during the International Congress of Historical Sciences in Brussels. The tragic events that had shaken Europe had a deep impact on historiography. In the aftermath of World War II, this trend was reversed on account of a progressive change of perspective and sensibility. In the last decades the favored epithets applied to Late Antiquity were "transformation", "change", "transition" and "evolution". The idea of a "long" Late Antiquity has eventually superseded the previous discourse on when and why the Roman Empire declined. Instead of a caesura, the historical continuum, the longue durée, is stressed. The continuities between Christian Rome, Sasanian Iran, and Islam are being explored. Late Antiquity has become a popular subject of a historical research that is characterized by a wide variety of methods and a paradigm shift.

Esse risentono in modo originale dell’attualizzazione con cui le loro figure erano state trattate nella Storia romana di Mommsen. In particolare, Gaio Gracco torna per analogia in scritti successivi di Marchesi su Togliatti. Da considerare, inoltre, la categoria di ‘pentitismo’, che il latinista applica alla scelta di Sallustio di dedicarsi alla storiografia, anche a fronte di una sua valutazione, non priva di elementi contraddittori, della figura di Catone. Concetto Marchesi discussed the Gracchi and their reform agenda in some deeply engaged pages of his Letteratura latina, which clearly betray the influence of Mommsen’s History of Rome and its modernising approach to those great figures. The analogy with Gaius Gracchus also features in several pieces that Marchesi later wrote about Palmiro Togliatti. The category of pentitismo (a neologism that ...

Rostovtzeff (89 letters to F. Cumont, allcoming from the archives of Academia Belgica, Rome) and F. Cumont (67 letters to Rostovtzeff, most of them from the archive of Duke University, Durham, NC). The correspondence refers to the periodbetween 1897 and 1941. Four letters bу Rostovtzeff and four bу Cumont are pubished here inchronological order covering the period from 1927 to 1939. The letters chosen for the pubication reflect the most important of the correspondents' intellectual and scholarly activities. One of the main topics of their letters is, of course, the excavation at Dura Europos conducted bу Yale University and Academie des inscriptions et belles-lettres in 1928-1937. The correspondence also gives some valuabe information on а series of other subjects connected with the history of ancient studies in 1920-40ies and deserving closer attention and further study. The notes on the letters comment the characters, publications and the interesting facts mentioned

Unfortunately the literary sources, though numerous, are sufficiently complicated and contradictory to raise serious problems of interpretation. This is true in the first instance of the notoriously controversial Historia Augusta. However, despite some uncertainties on particular points, the general picture that emerges from the careers of the jurists of the Severan age seems to be essentially coherent. They appear to present a career profile that gives good prospects of development.
