How did a Late Roman emperor stay on the throne? His position was
always precarious, and in contrast to a modern hereditary monarch
he could always lose power or even his life to a usurper. The
Eastern emperors resided in Constantinople from 395 to 624 without
a break. This book shows how they sought the support of the army,
the populace, the clergy and the capital s elite, how they gained
it, and how they sometimes lost it. The result is a new picture of
the socio-political system of Constantinople and of the Late Roman
Empire in general."
