Empire of the Tetrarchs - Imperial Pronouncements and Government Ad 284-324

Zusatztext Corcoran enjoys the enviable ability to mine in the murky depths some of Late Antiquity's most impenetrable unaccommodating material - to unearth diamonds ... The Empire of the Tetrarchs is scintillating, valuable and, I'd wager, very durable. Klappentext The era of Diocletian and Constantine--when the Christian church passed from persecution to imperial favor--saw far-reaching administrative changes that established the structure of government in the Roman Empire for three hundred years. This was a complex period of cooperation and rivalry between co-emperors! the result of Diocletian's experiment in government by four rulers! the tetrarchs. Drawing together material from a wide variety of sources! Corcoran studies the vast range of documents issued by the emperors and their officials! and assesses how effectively the machinery of government matched imperial ambitions. Zusammenfassung Examines the government of the Roman empire at an important period of administrative and religious change. Drawing together material from a wide variety of sources, the book studies the vast range of documents issued by the emperors and their officials, and assesses how effectively the machinery of government matched imperial ambitions.
