"An integrated collection of essays examining the politics, social networks, law,
historiography, and literature of the later Roman world. The volume treats three central
themes: the first section looks at political and social developments across the period
and argues that, in spite of the stress placed upon traditional social structures,
many elements of Roman life remained only slightly changed. The second section focuses
upon biographical texts and shows how late-antique authors adapted traditional modes
of discourse to new conditions. The final section explores the first years of the
reign of Theodosius I and shows how he built upon historical foundations while unfurling
new methods for utilising, presenting, and commemorating imperial power. These papers
analyse specific events and local developments to highlight examples of both change
and continuity in the Roman world from 284-450."--From publisher description
