| Sumario: | "The volume examines the Roman imperial court as a social and cultural institution across six centuries between the reigns of Augustus (27 BC - AD 14) and Justinian (AD 527-565). The 'Principate' (the early Roman empire) and 'Late Antiquity' (the late Roman empire) are usually examined separately by scholars who specialise in one period or the other.
