Edward Watts on the Age of Justinian and the Closing of the Athenian Academy
from Podcast episodes – The Secret History of Western Esotericism Podcast (SHWEP) · host Earl Fontainelle
We discuss the life, times, and reign of Justinian, ‘probably the most consequential Roman emperor, at least since Constantine, and maybe since Augustus.’ He transformed the empire; nothing would be the same after his reign. Said reign also saw the closure of the Athenian academy and a number of crucial crises within Christianity, all of which are essential for the history of western esotericism.
