Abstract

In 1967 Paul Alexander published an intriguing apocalyptic text that purports to be a revelation of early Byzantine history by the Tiburtine Sibyl1. The Sibyl’s “predic tions” go down to the middle of the reign of Anastasius (ca 502). There is also a Latin version (extant in several slightly different redactions) that only goes as far as the death of Valens (378): its latest prediction is an emperor who will be consumed by fire, evidently referring to Valens’s death on the field of Adrianople.
