Episode 277 - The New Roman Empire with Anthony Kaldellis. Part 1 - Government

Professor Kaldellis' new history of Byzantium is out now in the USA and on Kindle everywhere. He has kindly agreed to talk to us about it across 4 episodes! In this first conversation we discuss the new Roman government that Constantine established in 330AD. What was the 'personality' of government? How did it achieve legitimacy in the eyes of the people? Was it really a Republican Monarchy? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
