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. Above all, this book focuses on the
Imperial mission to promote the unity of the Church, the State's
involvement in intensely-debated doctrinal questions, and the
calling by the Emperor of two major Church Councils at Ephesus, in
431 and 449. 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, is incomparably richer, more
detailed, and more vivid than for any previous period.
