Description

Trace the evolution of imperial power through the architectural heart of the Roman Empire in this scholarly examination of imperial residences. From the Palatine's patrician origins through Constantine's Christian reimagining to the preserved Palace in Constantinople, this volume reveals how palace design enforced hierarchies and centralised authority. The book explores how elaborate ceremonial protocols and spatial arrangement created systems of privilege that strengthened imperial rule, transforming the emperor's residence into both administrative centre and divine symbol. Discover how emperors modelled their palaces as earthly imitations of heaven, refashioning divine attributes of office across centuries of political transformation. Part of the Urban Spaces series, this work offers essential insights into how architecture embodied and reinforced imperial ideology from Augustus through the Age of Absolutism.

Key Features

The Emperor's House examines the Palatine residence's evolution from a patrician domus to the centre of Roman state administration.

This volume explores how Constantine applied imperial palace models to his new capital, adapting them under Christian theological principles.

The book details how elaborate ceremonial systems and spatial design created privilege structures that consolidated centralised imperial power.

Imperial palaces are presented as architectural representations of heaven, reflecting the emperor's role as God's representative.

The work traces the Palace in Constantinople's preservation following the Western Empire's collapse, documenting continuity through dramatic political change.
