Domitian's Persecution of Christians in the Sources and Controversies of Modern Scholars
 Holešínská, Anna ; Prchlík, Ivan (advisor) ; Jirkal, Emanuel (referee)
Domitian was traditionally considered to be one of the first emperors, who persecuted Christians, however, since the middle of 19th century there have been doubts about the extent and later even the historicity of this persecution and so far no general agreement has been formed among scholars. This thesis does not agree with the theory that Domitian systematically persecuted Christians, instead it considers more probable that the Christian communities were sporadically attacked (primarily verbally) by the surrounding populace and that the local authorities could occasionally step in. This conclusion will be reached based on examining the primary sources that are thought to contain information about the situation of Christians under Domitian and it focuses on the location of Asia Minor as well as the city of Rome. At the same time the thesis concerns itself with the opinions of modern authors and points out the flaws in the arguments of those, with whom it does not agree.

Historicity of the Neronian Persecution: Ancient Sources and Modern Hypotheses
 Holešínská, Anna ; Prchlík, Ivan (advisor) ; Mouchová, Bohumila (referee)
This thesis deals with the question of historicity of the Neronian persecution, which supposedly occurred in 64 CE as a result of the Great fire of Rome. Its historicity, which was traditionally accepted by historians, was recently challenged by Brent Shaw. Christopher Jones subsequently responded to his criticism and disagreed with it. The thesis introduces all crucial sources - especially Tacitus, Suetonius and Clement of Rome. On the basis of their information and Shaw's and Jones' arguments it then takes a stand on the historicity of this persecution.
