Emperor in the Roman World

This book casts new light on a number of detailed historical qustions such as the sources of the emperor's wealth and the ways he spent it; the imperial residences and the mobility of the court; and the relatively small and simple entourage that the emperor needed to perform his functions. But above all, it emphasizes two major historical themes: the steady detachment of the emperor from the republican institutions of the city of Rome; and the way in which relations between Emperor and Church were shaped by the emperor's long-standing relations with cities, temples and associations in the pagan world.Millar, Fergus is the author of 'Emperor in the Roman World', published 2003 under ISBN 9780715617229 and ISBN 0715617222.
