Rome's transition from a republican system of government to an imperial regime comprised more than a century of civil upheaval and rapid institutional change. Yet the establishment of a ruling dynasty, centered around a single leader, came as a cultural and political shock to Rome's aristocracy, who had shared power in the previous political order. How did the imperial regime manage to establish itself and how did the Roman elites from the time of Julius Caesar to Nero make sense of it? In this compelling book, Matthew Roller reveals a "dialogical" process at work, in which writers and philosophers vigorously negotiated and contested the nature and scope of the emperor's authority, despite the consensus that he was the ultimate authority figure in Roman society.Roller seeks evidence for this "thinking out" of the new order in a wide range of republican and imperial authors, with an emphasis on Lucan and Seneca the Younger. He shows how elites assessed the impact of the imperial system on traditional aristocratic ethics and examines how several longstanding authority relationships in Roman society--those of master to slave, father to son, and gift-creditor to gift-debtor--became competing models for how the emperor did or should relate to his aristocratic subjects. By revealing this ideological activity to be not merely reactive but also constitutive of the new order, Roller contributes to ongoing debates about the character of the Roman imperial system and about the "politics" of literature.

Zwischen 395 und 624 residierte der Kaiser des Ostens ununterbrochen in Konstantinopel. Er reiste nicht mehr durchs Reich, er führte keine Armee in den Krieg, er verließ die Stadt nicht weiter als eine Tagesreise. Konstantinopel war ohne das Kaisertum undenkbar, aber ebenso war der Herrscher auf die Stadt angewiesen. Ein römischer Kaiser konnte nämlich, anders als ein Erbmonarch der Neuzeit, Macht und Leben an einen Usurpator verlieren, seine Stellung blieb stets prekär. Daher mußte er immer wieder um die Unterstützung der Einwohner Konstantinopels werben, sie um jeden Preis behaupten - und manchmal doch erfahren, daß er sie verlor. Geschah das, war sein Sturz unvermeidlich. So war der Kaiser eingebettet in ein komplexes Netz sozialer Beziehungen. Er benötigte die Akzeptanz von Armee, Volk, Geistlichkeit und Eliten. Ihren Bedürfnissen kam er nach, indem er ihre Anliegen in der Sache befriedigte oder den Status der verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Gruppen durch angemessenes rituelles, gestisches und verbales Handeln anerkannte. Das Buch analysiert diese Prozesse gesellschaftlicher Interaktion, es zeigt, wie der Kaiser Kaiser blieb. So entsteht ein neues Bild des soziopolitischen Systems Konstantinopels und des spätantiken Reiches insgesamt.
