Autor rada daje niz istorijskih izvora koji direktno i indirektno ukazuju na životni put Klaudija Klaudijana (Claudius Claudianus, 370.-408. godine), najvećeg rimskog pesnika poznog Rimskog carstva. Uprkos svom latinskom imenu, Klaudijan je došao sa grčkog Istoka, iz grčke Aleksandrije u Egiptu. Svoje obrazovanje duguje najpoštovanijim i najučenijim aleksandrijskim profesorima toga doba. Politički i religiozni raskol rušio je Rimsko carstvu iznutra. Dekadencija se osećala na svakom koraku, ali kao nekim čudom u Egiptu je, u to vreme, cvetalo pesništvo.

Poetic Work

The paper analyzes the poetic work of a late antique court poet from Western Roman Empire Claudius Claudianus. The key verbal construc - tions describing the situation on the Lower-Danube region after the Goths have settled are identified. The analysis of the Claudianus’ discourse shows the state of alarm of the Honorius court looked at the Balkan region. The high officials of Western Empire sought to establish Roman authority over the Danube region, regardless of whether the Eastern or Western court would rule there. Claudianus conveys to the readers that desire to see those lands under Roman rule. The study of contexts in which the Danube is men- tioned by Claudianus allows to assume that in the official discourse at court of the Western Emperor Honorius the Lower-Danube lands were pronounced pacified. They were beginning to recover from the destruction of the past wars, although still being perceived as a hotbed of instability. It was supposed that after Theodosius I first concluded the Treaty with the Goths in 382, and then Alaric and his people left Thrace in 395, the Danubian lands returned to Roman rule regardless whether the Roman institutes of power there functioned or not.
