Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the Roman bureaucratic machine of the later Roman Empire from the time of Constantine through the 5th century, focusing on the main official positions and their role within what was a highly complex and strictly hierarchical system. The author provides an overview of the praetorian prefects, the most powerful imperial officials with duties encompassing the entirety of the civil administration, who through their vast authority often removed the emperor from the public eye. It then examines the city prefect of Rome, the senate, and the subordinates of the urban prefect whose duties were so wide-ranging they included responsibility for provisions, public morality, and criminal justice. The analysis further delves into the duties and powers of the prefect of the watch, the prefect of the grain supply, and other significant officials, detailing how the later Roman administration was organized. The book concludes by discussing the division between military and civil powers and the emergence of a distinct, bureaucratic elite that profoundly impacted the empire's political direction. By offering insights into the complex and evolving administrative structure of the later Roman Empire, this well-researched and engaging book provides a comprehensive understanding of how the vast imperial apparatus functioned.
