He portrays a complex system of government openly regulated by networks of personal influence and the payment of money. Focusing on the Roman Empire after Constantine's conversion to Christianity, Kelly illuminates a period of increasingly centralized rule through an ever more extensive and intrusive bureaucracy. The book opens with a view of its times through the eyes of a high-ranking official in sixth-century Constantinople, John Lydus. His On the Magistracies of the Roman State, the only memoir of its kind to come down to us, gives an impassioned and revealing account of his career and the system in which he worked. Kelly draws a wealth of insight from this singular memoir and goes on to trace the operation of power and influence, exposing how these might be successfully deployed or skillfully diverted by those wishing either to avoid government regulation or to subvert it for their own ends. Ruling the Later Roman Empire presents a fascinating procession of officials, emperors, and local power brokers, winners and losers, mapping their experiences, their conflicting loyalties, their successes, and their failures. This important book elegantly recaptures the experience of both rulers and ruled under a sophisticated and highly successful system of government. 410 0$aRevealing antiquity ;$v15. 606 $aElite (Social sciences)$zRome 606 $aElite (Social sciences)$zByzantine Empire 607 $aRome$xPolitics and government$y284-476 607 $aByzantine Empire$xPolitics and government$yTo 527 607 $aRome$xOfficials and employees 607 $aByzantine Empire$xOfficials and employees 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aElite (Social sciences) 615 0$aElite (Social sciences) 676 $a937/.09 700 $aKelly$b Christopher$f1964-$0622658 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455739203321 996 $aRuling the later Roman Empire$91092733 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03347nam 22006735 450 001 9910299307703321 005 20251113190102.0 010 $a978-981-13-2381-2 010 $a981-13-2381-X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-13-2381-2 035 $a(CKB)4100000006374540 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-13-2381-2 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6287392 035 $a(PPN)230539904 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000006374540 100 $a20180904d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAdvances in Green Energy Systems and Smart Grid $eFirst International Conference on Intelligent Manufacturing and Internet of Things and 5th International Conference on Computing for Sustainable Energy and Environment, IMIOT and ICSEE 2018, Chongqing, China, September 21-23, 2018, Proceedings, Part III /$fedited by Kang Li, Jianhua Zhang, Minyou Chen, Zhile Yang, Qun Niu 205 $a1st ed. 2018. 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer Nature Singapore :$cImprint: Springer,$d2018. 215 $a1 online resource (XIX, 329 p. 166 illus.) 225 1 $aCommunications in Computer and Information Science,$x1865-0937 ;$v925 311 08$a981-13-2380-1 327 $aClean energy -- Electric vehicles -- Energy saving -- Energy storages -- power system analysis. 330 $aThe three-volume set CCIS 923, CCIS 924, and CCIS 925 constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Intelligent Manufacturing and Internet of Things, and of the 5th International Conference on Intelligent Computing for Sustainable Energy and Environment, ICSEE 2018, held in Chongqing, China, in September 2018.
