This chapter sets out a taxonomy of late ancient approaches to Christian political service. Historians of the Christianization of the Roman world have tended to take at face value the (oft-repeated) contemporary assertion that a traditional public career was irreconcilable with Christian piety and the true form of service: militia Christi. Yet as ch. 4 shows, this was just one of many ways in which late ancient observers thought through the compatibility (or otherwise) of officeholding and Christian commitment. Drawing inspiration from recent work which has read between the lines of ascetic texts to reconstruct the character of a more moderate ‘respectable’ Christianity, this chapter delineates the ways in which Christian officials could reconcile their careers and religious identities. Through this holistic account, I argue that there were numerous ways for individual officeholders to be presented, perceived—and indeed, to understand themselves—as virtuous political actors, according both to traditional Roman political assumptions, and to the more distinctly Christian norms which appropriated, problematised, and reframed them in late antiquity.
