The articles examine how people gained, maintained, or lost imperial favour. The contributors approach this theme by studying processes of interpersonal infl uence and competition through the lens of modern sociological models. Taking into account both political reality and literary representation, this volume will have much to offer students of late-antique history and/or literature as well as those interested in the politics of pre-modern monarchical states. 410 0$aImpact of Empire (Roman Empire, c. 200 B.C.-A.D. 476) (Series) ;$vvolume 36. 606 $aEmperors$zRome 607 $aRome$xPolitics and government$y30 B.C.-476 A.D 607 $aRome$xCourt and courtiers 607 $aRome$xHistory$yEmpire, 30 B.C.-476 A.D 607 $aRome$xIn literature 615 0$aEmperors 676 $a937.060922 702 $aChoda$b Kamil (Kamil Cyprian) 702 $aLeeuw$b Maurits Sterk de 702 $aSchulz$b Fabian 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795286103321 996 $aGaining and losing imperial favour in late antiquity$93770271 997 $aUNINA
