At the centre of the Roman empire stood the emperor and the court
surrounding him. The systematic investigation of this court in its
own right, however, has been a relatively late development in the
field of Roman history, and previous studies have focused on
narrowly defined aspects or on particular periods of Roman history.
This book makes a major contribution to understanding the history
of the Roman imperial court. The first volume presents nineteen
original essays covering all the major dimensions of the court from
the age of Augustus to the threshold of Late Antiquity. The second
volume is a collection of the ancient sources that are central to
studying that court. The collection includes: translations of
literary sources, inscriptions, and papyri; plans and computer
visualizations of archaeological remains; and photographs of
archaeologic sites and artworks depicting the emperor and his
court.
