Der Kaiser und Konstantinopel

About this book
How did a Late Roman emperor stay on the throne? His position was always precarious, and in contrast to a modern hereditary monarch he could always lose power or even his life to a usurper. The Eastern emperors resided in Constantinople from 395 to 624 without a break. This book shows how they sought the support of the army, the populace, the clergy and the capital’s elite, how they gained it, and how they sometimes lost it. The result is a new picture of the socio-political system of Constantinople and of the Late Roman Empire in general.

Reviews
"Das Werk kann also allen, die an Geschichte interessiert sind, wärmstens empfohlen werden, auch wenn es, durch die Quellenlage und das Thema bedingt, überaus umfangreich ist."
