University of California Press 2006 1st ed hardcover Berkeley. 2006. University of California Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0520247035. 280 pages. hardcover. keywords: Classical Studies Ancient Greece Ancient Rome. FROM THE PUBLISHER-In the first half of the fifth century, the Latin-speaking part of the Roman Empire suffered vast losses of territory to barbarian invaders. But in the Greek-speaking half of the Eastern Mediterranean, with its capital at Constantinople, there was a stable and successful system, using Latin as its official language, but communicating with its subjects in Greek. This book takes an inside look at how this system worked in the long reign of the pious Christian Emperor Theodosius II (408-50), and analyzes its largely successful defense of its frontiers, its internal coherence, and its relations with its subjects, with a flow of demands and suggestions traveling up the hierarchy to the Emperor, and a long series of laws, often set out in elaborately self-justificatory detail, addressed by the Emperor, through his officials, to the people.

Between the Law codes and the acts of the Church Councils, the material illustrating the working of government and the involvement of State and church, ...
