About This Book

A condensed edition of an extensive set of official letters and administrative formularies produced by a high-ranking official, presenting correspondence sent from central authority to provincial governors, municipal officers, foreign leaders, and private citizens. The letters address appointments and ranks, taxation and fiscal relief, legal disputes and appeals, restitution of church property, civic repairs and logistics, and military and naval matters, while also recording diplomatic gifts and petitions. The volume concludes with model documents and formal templates that exemplify the procedures and language of late antique administration.
