Description

Explore the transformation of imperial power through the history of architectural design. This volume examines how the emperor's residence on the Palatine evolved from a simple patrician domus into the central hub for state administration. Readers will learn how elaborate ceremonial access to the imperial family created a system of privilege that helped strengthen centralized authority. The book traces these developments through the era of Constantine, who applied this architectural model to his new capital under a Christian framework. It details how the palace was redesigned to reflect the emperor as God's representative, turning the residence into an imitation of heaven. Even as the Western and Near Eastern empires faced loss, the Palace in Constantinople remained a significant historical site. This work provides a deep look at how urban spaces and palace structures shaped the political and religious identity of an era.
