The Roman Imperial Court in the Principate and Late Antiquity
The volume examines the Roman imperial court as a social and cultural institution across six centuries between the reigns of Augustus (27 bc–ad 14) and Justinian (ad 527–65). The Principate (the early Roman Empire) and Late Antiquity (the late Roman Empire) are usually examined separately by scholars who specialize in one period or the other. This book brings together scholars of both phases of Roman history to analyse continuities and changes ac…
Celibacy and survival in court politics in the fifth century AD 1
This chapter focuses on three families: the Theodosians, the Anthemii and the Ardaburii.

This paper examines the office-holding, property-accumulation, and patronage of the Ardaburii, the family of the powerful eastern magister militum Fl.

In 475, the western emperor Julius Nepos (who had been in power for less than a year himself) a…

Sommarii: Questo articolo identifica una ragione finora non riconosciuta circa la crescente presenza imperiale a Roma dall'ascesa di Onorio nel 395 d.C. fino all'assassinio di Valentiniano III nel 455, nella forma della trasformazione dell'ufficio imperiale stesso, che stava prendendo piede in questo periodo, come risultato della ripetuta ascesa degli imperatori-bambini nel Occidente tardo-romano. Questi prolungati governi dei minori, che si veri…
