Based on literary, legal, epigraphic and artistic materials the author deals with questions such as how provincials communicated their needs to governors, how they expressed both their favorable and critical opinions of governors’ behavior, and how they rewarded ‘good’ governors. Provincial expectations, a continuous dialogue, interdependence, reciprocity, and ceremonial routine play key roles in this study that not only leads to a better understanding of Late Roman provincial administration, but also of the successful functioning of an empire as large as that of Rome.Mnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.Supplementum ;277.GovernorsRomeProvincesRoman provincesAdministrationRomeOfficials and employeesRomePolitics and government284-476Byzantine EmpireOfficials and employeesByzantine EmpirePolitics and governmentTo 527GovernorsProvinces.Roman provincesAdministration.320.937Slootjes Danielle0MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813774003321Governor and his subjects in the later roman empire840212UNINA
