Eusebia vista por Amiano: un retrato entre líneas

Keywords: Ammianus Marcellinus, Empress Eusebia (†360), Emperor Julian (331-363), Portrait, ‘Presence’ (argumentation’s theory),

Abstract

This article redefines the image of Empress Eusebia in Res Gestae by Ammianus Marcellinus, by gauging her ‘Presence’ degree in the text, paying particular attention to a comparison between this image of her and the one provided by Julian in his own writings. The conclusion is that Julian’s benevolent image of Eusebia has contributed to veil Ammianus’ aversion to her, which is traceable in a subtle use of language, characteristic of Ammianus’ style.
