The article shows Sidonius Apollinaris’ admiration for all intellectual acti­vities. For example he congratulated Faustus of Riez after reading his book „On the Holy Spirit”. In all the Sydonius’ writings one can see that he has always had a lot of respect for poets and writers as Lampridius or to scholars as Phoebus. In the context of the fall of the Roman Empire Sidonius really appreciated those who reach for the teachings of ancient philosophy, rhetoric, astronomy and music in the proclamation of the Gospel. So Claudianus Mamertus, author of the book „De sta­tu animae” did. According to Sidonius he was a great master of the three cultures: Roman, Greek and Christian. In the works of Sidonius we can see a gradual transi­tion from the vision of the Empire as a political power to the vision of the Church as a spiritual power. In this context, he gladly stated that the Plato’s Academy was working for the Church of Christ. For this reason, he appreciated each quotation from pagan’s works in Christian works. Polish reader can see common elements in Sidonius and Sienkiewicz: both writers were living in a difficult political situa­tion, the home of the two was ruled by foreign rulers: both writers set themselves the same goal – to write to encourage hearts with glorification of excellent people. Both writers wanted to help people get out of the crisis and to lay the foundations for a better future.

Sidonius Apollinaris was a member of the Gallo-Roman aristocracy in the 5th century. His letters are a valuable source of information about many aspects of life in Gaul in the final period of the Roman Empire. The article presents the public service performed by Sidonius for nearly 20 years, which he then abandoned in fa­vour of pastoral and Episcopal service, for a similar period of time. It aims to answer the question: what place did public service occupy in Sidonius’ life as a member of the Gallic aristocracy and what motivated him to take up an Episcopal ministry.

Artykuł prezentuje wizję Rzymu w ujęciu Sydoniusza Apolinarego (430-486), który zainspirował się twórczością poetów: Enniusza, Wergiliusza i Auzoniusza. Wpatrzony w potęgę Rzymu Sydoniusz pisał panegiryki na cześć cesarzy: Avitusa, Majoriana i Antemiusza. Będąc prefektem Wiecznego Miasta widział również polityczną nieudolność rządzących, która doprowadziła do upadku Imperium. Przywiązany do kultury grecko-łacińskiej żywił przekonanie, iż kultury antyczna i rzymska przetrwają znacznie dłużej, niż samo Imperium. Historia osądziła podobnie. W średniowieczu podjęto studia nad dziełami klasyków chrześcijańskich i pogańskich; badania kultury antycznej osiągnęły apogeum w renesansie. Idea stworzenia w Europie międzynarodowego organizmu politycznego na wzór dawnego Imperium Rzymskiego zaświtała już w umysłach Karola Wielkiego, Ottona I, Ottona III i Napoleona. Czy Unia Europejska jest echem odwiecznych ambicji Imperium Rzymskiego? Jan Paweł II zachęcał wszystkie państwa członkowskie do budowania porządku kontynentalnego na fundamencie chrześcijańskim.

The present article tackles the problem of a vision of Rome as presented in the works by Sidonius Apollinaris (430-486), who was inspired on the other hand by the works of poets: Quintus Ennius, Virgil and Ausonius. Enchanted by the power of Rome Sidonius wrote panegyrics to honour the emperors: Avitus, Majorian and Anthemius. As the Prefect of the Eternal City, he also observed the ruling political incompetence that led to the decline of the Empire. Attached to the Greco-Latin culture, Sidonius was convinced that the ancient and Roman culture would survive much longer than the Empire itself. History judged similarly. In the Middle Ages, the studies of the works of Christian and pagan classics were conducted; the research of ancient culture reached its apogee during the Renaissance. The idea to create in Europe an international political entity which would base on the model of the old Roman Empire already dawned in the minds of Charlemagne, Otto I, Otto III and Napoleon. Is the European Union an echo of the eternal ambition of the Roman Empire? John Paul II urged all the Member States to build the continental order on the foundation of Christianity.

L’article présente la vision que Sidoine Apollinaire avait de Rome, inspiré par les poètes comme Ennius, Virgile, Ausone. Fasciné par la puissance de Rome, il a exprimé sa vision de l’Empire dans les panégyriques qu’il a prononcés en l’honneur des empereurs : Avitus, Majorien et Anthemius. En tant que préfet de Rome, il a connu la faiblesse politique de l’Empire et plus tard a vécu sa faillite. Mais il est resté toujours attaché à l’héritage culturel grec et latin – patrimoine plus durable que l’Empire. En effet, les études des oeuvres antiques, païennes et chrétiennes, ont été reprises au Moyen Age et cultivées à l’époque de la Renaissance. L’idée de former en Europe un organisme politique à l’image de l’ancien Empire romain a été lancée par Charlemagne, Otto Ier, Otto III et Napoléon. Dans la Communauté Européenne qui s’est formée à notre époque, on sent comme un écho de l’Empire romain. Le Pape Jean-Paul II a toujours encouragé les nations du Vieux Continent à s’intégrer sur la base des valeurs chrétiennes.
