La concordia tra Costantino e Licinio e il così detto «Laterculus Veronensis»

Diplomatic edition of the so-called Laterculus Veronensis (cod. misc. Bibl. Capit. Verona II/2). The four sections of the L.V. illustrate, through lists, the administrative structure (dioceses and provinces) of the empire and the distribution of barbarian populations as perceived at the time of writing and not updated. The fragment may be dated to the year 314 CE. The so-called L.V. may have been extracted from a high quality book composed for an aristocratic senator of Rome, probably the proconsul of Asia in 314, the year of maximum harmony between Constantine and Licinius. The work may have been produced and preserved in Italy. Between the 6th and early 7th Centuries, a scribe copied the fragment known as L.V. at the end of the Verona miscellaneous codex. The fragment was copied as an appendix to a highly successful geographical work, also arranged in lists, the Cosmographia Iulii Caesaris / Iulii Honorii. It seems highly probable that the copyist already found the fragment of L.V. at the end of the Cosmographia in his antigraph. The Veronese miscellaneous codex was intended for the education of the nobility and clergy of northern Italy and preserved a trace of the concordia between Constantine and Licinius.
