In this single-volume history, R. Malcolm Errington provides a modern account of the political and social framework of ancient Macedon. He places particular emphasis on the structure of the Macedonian state and its functioning in different stages of historical development from the sixth to the second century B.C. Errington's main emphasis is not on the biographies of the great kings but rather on the flexible political interplay between king, nobility, and people; on the growth of cities and their political function within the state; and on the development of the army as a motor of military, social, and politicalchange.

Roman Imperial Policy from Julian to Theodosius

By: Robert Malcolm Errington

The division of responsibilities between the emperors inevitably encouraged separate developments, which included the expansion of Constantinople into an imperial residence in the East. Regional separatism also allowed locally varying and often changing imperial attitudes toward the different forms of belief that had developed within the Christian church since its acceptance by Constantine, as well as toward non-Christian religious forms. Errington demonstrates that the main stimulus for action in this period nearly always came from below the level of the imperial government, and not from an imperial initiative. Drawing attention to the structure and practical functioning of the state and its administration, Errington argues that the emperors were fundamentally reactive to regionally supplied information, as Fergus Millar has asserted was the case for the High Empire. Thus, despite significant changes, the empire remained broadly traditional in its operations."--BOOK JACKET.

The Rhetoric of Power in Late Antiquity

Religion and Politics in Byzantium, Europe and the Early Islamic World

By: Elizabeth DePalma Digeser,Robert M. Frakes,Justin Stephens

Late Antiquity, the period of transition from the crisis of Roman Empire in the third century to the Middle Ages, has traditionally been considered only in terms of the 'decline' from classical standards. Recent classical scholarship strives to consider this period on its own terms. Taking the reign of Constantine the Great as its starting point, this book examines the unique intersection of rhetoric, religion and politics in Late Antiquity. Expert scholars come together to examine ancient rhetorical texts to explore the ways in which late antique authors drew upon classical traditions, presenting Roman and post-Roman religious and political institutions in order to establish a desired image of a 'new era'. This book provides new insights into how the post-Roman Germanic West, Byzantine East and Muslim South appropriated and transformed the political, intellectual and cultural legacy inherited from the late Roman Empire and its borderlands.
