The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Lecture 4 - The Later Roman Bureaucracy
1. letter from the Roman governor's
chancery. AD 342
Dr Jamie Wood
CLAH266: Lecture 4
2. To provide you with an overview of the
workings of the late Roman state and some
secondary scholarship on it
To think about the relative benefits and
drawbacks of the bureaucracy for the
emperors (and the bureaucrats)
To consider the impact of Christianity on this
system
3. Government and bureaucracy
Revisit earlier lectures
Some theories
How the system worked: benefits and drawbacks
Impact of Christianity
Economy
Seminar: “Who you know or what you know?
Getting a job in the later Roman Empire“
4. Writing, like money, was a medium
of exchange – in information and
knowledge – which helped to unify
Empire
Emergence of legal and documentary
culture as Roman Empire expanded
Accompanying process of
bureaucratization and
professionalization
▪ Keith Hopkins (‘Conquest By Book’, in Beard
et al. (eds.), Literacy in the Roman World,
JRA Supplement 3; Ann Arbor, 1991)
5. Small imperial administrative system of
early empire
Importance of local elites buying into the
system
▪ Civic system in earlier empire: cities administer
themselves and the empire leaves them alone
▪ E.g. tax raising delegated to cities
▪ This is best way of extracting a surplus
2 interpretations:
1. Bureaucracy as a tool of power that
worked from top-down
2. Responsive not a proactive system
Emperor ‘trapped’ in the system (F. Millar, The
Emperor in the Roman World)
Or is it both?
6. Fixing of frontiers in first century
CE creates permanent need to
pay and supply armies
Taxation must be raised
Troops must be supplied
▪ Over time, complex systems of
taxation, administration and requisition
develop to support this
Pivotal role of emperor at head
of system (ultimate military
commander and judge)
Bureacracy = Reinforces Imperial
Power? Or not?
7. Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius: some
legal reforms; philosopher-emperors
Septimius Severus: increasing
professionalisation of the bureaucracy, esp. law
(golden age of Roman jurisprudence);
equestrians granted formerly senatorial roles
Commodus and Elagabalus: criticised for ruling
through favorites/ their family
8. Governors and people in the provinces ask for
advice/ rulings from the centre
Petitions from cities/ individuals
Embassies
Imperial government responds to these
requests
Imperial rescripts
Some of these were later collected into law codes
Rescripts survive, whereas petitions often do not
9. ‘It is customary for me, sir, to refer to
you in all matters wherein I have a
doubt. Who truly is better able to
rule my hesitancy, or to instruct my
ignorance? [...] Therefore I stopped
the examination, and hastened to
consult you. For it appears to me a
proper matter for counsel, most
greatly on account of the number of Medieval statue of Pliny the Younger
on the façade of Cathedral of S.
people endangered.’ Maria Maggiore in Como.
(Pliny, Letters, 10.96)
10. Recipients often not from high
elite
Surviving examples mostly from
provincials, especially from eastern
empire
About 20% of the total were
addressed to women
Even slaves and former slaves sent
petitions and received answers
Remember that they are not
Inscription of rescript from
proactive laws imposed from Constantine and his three sons
top/centre but reactions to about regulations of Tuscany
initiatives from below/periphery and Umbria, 333 CE, from
Spello, Perugia
11. Organisation
Chain of command linked civil administrators directly to emperor (via
councils/ departments)
Increasing number of provinces (50 -> 100)
Each province has separate civil and military administration
Number of officials increased (15k -> 30k) – this is still ‘thin’
Professionalisation and specialisation
Entry qualifications enforced
Specific roles developed: a militia
▪ E.g. secret service
▪ E.g. scribes and scripts (later Roman cursive)
Development of elaborate systems of record keeping
Reward and recognition
Promotion ladder established
Honours
Tax exemption
12. Constantinople, late 4th century :
‘From time immemorial a place has been
allocated to him in the Hippodrome below the
imperial box and southwards right down to the
so-called Sling; and every matter since the
reign of the emperor Valens [late 4th C] which
has been dealt with in the greatest courts of
justice (as they once were) is preserved here
and is readily available to those who inquire –
as if it had been dealt with only yesterday.’
(John Lydus, On magistrates, 3.19, written in 6th century)
14. Christopher Kelly (1994), ‘Late Roman
Bureaucracy: Going through the files’, in A.
Bowman and G. Woolf, eds., Literacy and power
in the ancient world (Cambridge: Cambridge
University Press), pp. 161-176.
Discuss the reading with your neighbour
Agree on 3 key/ interesting/ questionable points
about the reading that you are willing to share with
the rest of the class
Be ready to share at least 1 of them
15. Bureaucracy a tool of power that worked from top-
down (in theory)
Emperor dependent on the bureaucratic system
for collecting knowledge about the empire
for carrying out his orders
intermediaries are therefore vitally important
But power of emperor not always in tune with
needs of bureaucracy
tension between tendency of bureaucracy to rationalise
and emperor’s autocratic power
16. Expansion of bureaucracy does
not necessarily increase power
of the emperor if others can get
control of it
E.g. Third Century ‘Crisis’
Who protects the ‘people’?
Emperor is meant to restrict the
excesses of the bureaucracy
Power of emperor not always in
tune with needs of bureaucracy:
tension between rationalisation
and autocratic power
17. A law is invalid if “a person
claims that, as a result of our
decision, he has obtained
imperial letters of appointment
and either the outer seal of the
document or the writing inside
confirms his claim.”
Theodosian Code is a collection of
over 2500 earlier laws made in
438
18. 3rd and esp. 4th C onwards:
increasing tendency for
empire to legislate on matters
of religion
Bureaucracy used to enact
this
Decian Persecution of 250/1 CE
Diocletian’s law against the
Manichees (and the Great
Persecution) John Rylands Library, Greek Papyrus
12, certificate of Pagan Sacrifice, AD 250
19. After conversion of Constantine in early 4th C;
increasing
Patronage for the church
Role for bishops within their cities (displacing old elites,
who had earlier been displaced by imperial bureaucrats)
Involvement of bishops as
▪ Judges in disputes within their cities (not just between
Christians)
▪ As representatives and protectors of their cities to outside
authorities (e.g. imperial government)
▪ Are they taking on roles formerly occupied by civic elites/
bureaucrats?
20. Bishops often have legal/ administrative
experience (e.g. Ambrose of
Milan, formerly governor of Emilia-
Liguria)
Legalistic culture begins to infuse
Christian discourse and practice of justice
see C. Humfress, Orthodoxy and the Courts in
Late Antiquity (Oxford, 2007)
'The single most outstanding factor of
change in the way elites handled justice
and the way ordinary people experienced
it was the rise in the person of the bishop
as an official who bridged the theory and
practice of justice'
Kevin Uhalde, Expectations of Justice in the
Age of Augustine (Philadelphia, 2007), p. 8
21. A massive and contested area of
research: what is significance of
economic changes in the end of
antiquity and birth of middle ages (in
west and east)?
Romans do not have ‘economic
policies’ as we understand them
Currency manipulated for symbolic and
political ends (e.g. to free up funds to pay
for army)
Taxation system develops to pay for
bureaucracy and army
Rapacity of imperial bureaucracy is a
common theme in literature
Emperor Diocletian’s price edict: is this
an economic or a moral measure?
22. 1. Bureaucracy vital in articulation of relations between
imperial centre and provincial periphery
It is what makes the empire function by extracting a surplus to
pay for the imperial superstructure (army, bureaucracy, imperial
household)
2. Bureaucracy is a tool for the imposition of imperial power
But emperor (and central government generally) require
bureaucracy to gather information and carry out their wishes
3. At the end of our period bishops come to play an
increasingly important role in administration, esp. of law
But is this because of conversion to Christianity or demise of local
civic elites? Or vice versa - which comes first?
Over time we see development of an increasingly complex system
of church organisation: provinces – law – bureaucracy

late Roman economy here:
