DER SENAT UND SEINE KAISER IM SPÄTANTIKEN ROM -...

This study focusses on the Roman Senate and its relation to the Emperors  taking a long-term
perspective. The starting point is the observation  that the senators as a body held their
sessions continuously from the 1st to the 6th century in the Curia Iulia Diocletiana  a highly
symbolic place in Roman mythical history. Visual  archaeological  epigraphic  numismatic and
literary findings and records provide evidence of the complexity of role-playing and entangled
interactions  which dictated the cooperation between SPQR and Caesares Augusti Imperatores
throughout the centuries. By situational adaptions and accumulations of exempla of the past the
two protagonists managed to maintain a precarious  varying  but perpetuated balance of powers.
The Senate of Rome and the Roman Emperors were mutually dependent and intrinsically linked 
forming a specific  bipolar authority structure  which was essential for the self-concept of
the Roman State.
