Due to the widespread fear of an imminent apocalypse, the concept of time was extensively debated in the Eastern Roman Empire of the sixth century. Topics such as de-eschatologization, acceleration, retardation, pluritemporality, and non-temporality were explored. Mischa Meier explores the different aspects of this lively debate, which has not yet received sufficient attention from researchers.

Jahrhunderts wurde im Angesicht des unmittelbar befurchteten Weltendes intensiv uber das Thema Zeit diskutiert und Konzepte wie Enteschatologisierung, Beschleunigung und Retardation, Pluritemporalitat und Nontemporalitat diskutiert. Auch Kaiser Justinian war aktiver, wenngleich nicht unumstrittener Protagonist in dieser lebhaften, in der Forschung bisher nicht hinreichend beachteten Debatte.
