About this listen
I recorded this a week and a half ago! In this video, I look at what the idea of the imperial Adventus/arrival at a city means, drawing on Ammianus Marcellinus' Res Gestae from c. 381, and then the theological use of the analogy by St Athanasius' On the Incarnation from the early 330s. Hopefully it will help you observe a blessed Advent this year!
