This volume aims to reappraise the wide-ranging and lasting
transformation of the Roman monarchy between the Principate and
Late Antiquity. The book takes as its focus the period from
Diocletian to Theodosius I (284-395) and thus on a major
developmental phase in the history of the Roman Empire. During this
period, the stability of monarchical rule depended heavily on the
emperor's mobility, on collegial or dynastic rule, and on the
military resolution of internal political crises. At the same time,
profound religious changes modified the premises of political
interaction and symbolic communication between the emperor and his
subjects, and administrative and military readjustments changed the
institutional foundations of the Roman monarchy. This volume
concentrates on the measures taken by Roman emperors of this period
to cope with the changing framework of their rule. The collection
will examine monarchy along three distinct yet intertwined fields:
Administering the Empire, Performing the Monarchy, and Balancing
Religious Change. Each field possesses its own historiography and
methodology, and accordingly has usually been treated separately.
This volume's multifaceted approach builds on recent trends to
examine imperial rule in a more integrated fashion. A brief
introductory article to each thematic section provides an overview
of the major developments in the field, thereby providing a
coherent framework for the contributions. Including new work from a
wide range of European and American scholars, both established and
junior, Contested Monarchy promises to provide a fresh survey of
the role of the Roman monarch in a period of significant and
enduring change.
