İS V-VI. yüzyıllarda Anastasius döneminde yaşamış olan pagan tarihçi Zosimus, Historia Nova adında Grekçe bir çalışma ortaya koymuştur. Eserin amacı, Batı Roma İmparatorluğu’nun gerileyiş sürecini gelecek nesillere aktarmaktır. Zosimus’a göre Cumhuriyet yönetiminden diktatörlük sistemine geçilmesiyle başlayan süreç Roma’nın Hıristiyanlaşması ve barbarlaşmasıyla hızlanmıştır. Zosimus eserin girişinde imparatorluğu olumsuz etkileyen tüm olayları anlatmaya niyetlendiğini söylemiş ancak Augustus’un tek başına tahta çıkışından Diocletianus’un tetrarşisine kadar kısa bir özetin ardından 410 yılına kadar çok daha detaylı bir anlatım sunduktan sonra altıncı kitabın ortasında muhtemelen öldüğü için eser aniden sona ermiştir. Zosimus’un Historia Nova’nın ana temasıyla örtüşen bütün konuları işlemeye çalışması eserin en belirgin özelliğidir. Tarihçinin odağında imparatorluğun maruz kaldığı barbar saldırıları, imparatorların dini tavırları, politik tutumları, taht mücadeleleri ve iç savaşlar bulunmaktadır. Zosimus için üçüncü yüzyıl krizinden sonra imparatorluğu kaosa sürükleyen yeni olaylar dizisi Constantinus’un ölümüyle başlamıştır. Zosimus’a göre Constantinus’un Hıristiyan olarak yetiştirdiği oğulları II. Constantinus, II. Constantius ve Constans’ın yönetiminde gerçekleşen teolojik tartışmalar ve emperyal krizler sınırlardaki tehditlerle beraber imparatorluğun zayıflamasına katkı sağlamıştır. Ayrıca II. Constantius’un kargaşadan faydalanarak isyan çıkaran Magnentius’a karşı mücadelesi Zosimus için amacına hizmet etmesi sebebiyle kayda değer görülmüştür. 351 yılında gerçekleşen Mursa Savaşı antik kaynaklar ve modern araştırmacılar tarafından Roma İmparatorluğu’nun en kanlı iç savaşı olarak addedilmektedir. Historia Nova, savaşın detayları bakımından elimizdeki tek kaynak olup Zosimus’un sunduğu olay betimlemeleri ve imparator tasvirleri eseri ayrıca vazgeçilmez kılmaktadır. Çalışmamızda Zosimus’un Mursa Savaşı yorumları çağının antik kaynaklarıyla karşılaştırma yöntemiyle analiz edilip modern literatür ışığında savaşın nedenlerinin ve sonuçlarının Roma İmparatorluğu’nun idari yapısı ve ordu düzenine etkisi tartışılacaktır. Çalışmanın temel amacı tarafların dini eğilimlerini dikkate alarak Mursa Savaşı çerçevesinde Zosimus’un gerileyiş ve çöküş üzerine düşüncelerini incelemek ve Historia Nova’nın tarihi kaynak olarak değerini sorgulamaktır.
The V-VI The pagan historian, Zosimus, who lived during the Anastasius period for centuries, has revealed a Greek study called Historia Nova. The objective of the work is to transmit the recession process of the Western Roman Empire to the future generations. According to Zosimus, the process that began with the transition from the Republic to the dictatorship system was accelerated with the Christianization and barbarization of Rome. In the entrance of the work Zosimus said that it was intended to tell all the events that negatively affected the empire, but after Augustus alone gave a much more detailed description until 410 after a short summary of the exit of the throne to Diocletianus, the work suddenly ended because it was likely to die in the middle of the sixth book. Zosimus’s attempt to deal with all the topics that coincide with the main theme of Historia Nova is the most obvious feature of the work. The focus of the historian is on the barbaric attacks that the empire is exposed, the religious attitudes of the emperors, political attitudes, throne struggles, and domestic wars. After the third-century crisis for Zosimus, the series of new events that caused the empire to chaos began with the death of Constantine. According to Zosimus, the sons Constantine raised as a Christian II. by Constantine II. The theological discussions and imperial crises under Constantius and Constans have contributed to the weakening of the empire, along with the threats on the borders. And also II. Constantius’ struggle against Magnentius, which took advantage of the confusion, was remarkable because it served his purpose for Zosimus. The War of Mursa, which took place in 351, is added by ancient sources and modern researchers as the most bloody civil war of the Roman Empire. History Nova is the only source we have in terms of the details of the war, and the events portraits and the imperial portraits offered by Zosimus also make the work indispensable. In our study, the interpretations of the Mursa War of Zosimus will be analyzed by the method of comparison with the ancient sources of the time and the causes and consequences of the war in the light of modern literature will be discussed on the administrative structure of the Roman Empire and the impact on the army order. The main objective of the study is to study the ideas of Zosimus on the recession and collapse in the framework of the Mursa War, taking into account the religious trends of the parties, and to question the value of Historia Nova as a historic source.
The pagan historian Zosimus, who lived in the Anastasius period in the fifth and sixth centuries, produced a study in Greek called Historia Nova. The aim of the work is to hand down the decline process of the Western Roman Empire to the next generations. According to Zosimus, the process that started with the transition from the Republican administration to the dictatorship system accelerated with the Christianization and barbarization of Rome. At the introduction of the work, Zosimus said that he had intended to explain all the events that adversely affected the empire but after a brief summary from Augustus' accession alone to Diocletian's tetrarchy, he gave a much more detailed narrative until 410, after which the work ended suddenly in the middle of the sixth book, probably because he died. The most significant feature of the work is that Zosimus attempts to deal with all the subjects that match up with the main theme of Historia Nova. The historian's focus is on the barbaric attacks of the empire, religious attitudes and political stance of the emperors, throne struggles and civil wars. For Zosimus, the new series of events that led the empire to chaos after the third century crisis began with the death of Constantinus. According to Zosimus, theological debates and imperial crisis that occured in the reign of Constantinus II, Constantius II and Constans, Constantinus’ sons whom he raised as Christians, contributed to the weakning of the empire along with the threats at the frontiers. In addition, Constantius II’s struggle against Magnentius, who rebelled by taking advange of the riot, was northworty for Zosimus hence it served his purpose. The Battle of Mursa that took place in 351 is regarded by ancient sources and modern researchers as the bloodiest civil war of the Roman Empire. Historia Nova is the only source we have in terms of the details of the war, and the depictions of events and emperor portraits of Zosimus also make the work indispensable. In this study, the interpretations of Zosimus' War of Mursa will be analyzed by comparing with the ancient sources of the era and the effects of the causes and results of the war on the administrative structure and military order of the Roman Empire will be discussed in the light of modern literature. The main purpose of the study is to examine Zosimus' thoughts on decline and fall within the framework of the Battle of Mursa taking into consideration the religious tendencies of the parties and to question the value of Historia Nova as a historical source.
