"For centuries, Roman emperors ruled a vast empire. Yet, at least officially, the
emperor did not exist. No one knew exactly what titles he possessed, how he could
be portrayed, what exactly he had to do, or how the succession was organised. Everyone
knew, however, that the emperor held ultimate power over the empire. There were also
expectations about what he should do and be, although these varied throughout the
empire and also evolved over time. How did these expectations develop and change?
To what degree could an emperor deviate from prevailing norms? And what role did major
developments in Roman society - such as the rise of Christianity or the choice of
Constantinople as the new capital - play in the ways in which emperors could exercise
their rule? This ambitious and engaging book describes the surprising stability of
the Roman Empire over more than six centuries of history"
