Julian of Eclanum was a major player in the Pelagian Heresy, and is constantly mentioned in relation to his debates with Augustine. One piece of information I can't find though is where Eclanum is. It's clearly in Italy, but either it doesn't exist anymore, or its name has changed, so what is the modern equivalent? I'd really like to know exactly where Julian comes from. |

Hello. The ruins of ancient Eclanum (also known as Aeclanum or Aeculanum) are in modern "Mirabella Eclano." The town is on the ancient Via Appia in the province of Avellino in the region of Campania. From an Italian web page: "...Giuliano di Eclano (oggi Mirabella Eclano, vicino Avellino)..." Translation: "...Julian of Eclanum (today Mirabella Eclano, near Avellino)...' http://www.santamelania.it/approf/agos_ostia.htm Here's a map that shows Mirabella Eclano's position relative to Naples: http://www.asmenet.it/opencms/opencms/asmenet/mirabellaeclano/conoscere_arrivare/?folder=/asmenet/mirabellaeclano/conoscere_arrivare/ Here are some photos of ancient ruins of the town: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/davmonac/sanniti/aeclanum.html http://spazioinwind.libero.it/popoli_antichi/altro/Aeclanum.html Also see: Nodeworks Encyclopedia: Aeclanum http://pedia.nodeworks.com/A/AE/AEC/Aeclanum/ Also see: Classical Gazeteer: "Eclanum (AEculanum), a town of the Hirpini, Samnium, near Calor fl., R., on Via Appia, bet. Beneventum (15) and Sub Romula (21). Grotte di Mirabella." http://www.ancientlibrary.com/gazetteer/0144.html --------------- search strategy: eclanum -julian aeclanum "giuliano di eclano" etc I hope this helps. |
