This book challenges long-held assumptions over New Rome’s meteoric growth in ecclesiastical standing, offering in their place a fundamentally different reading of the early Constantinopolitan episcopate during the two landmark councils of 381 and 451 and the seven tumultuous decades between them.

Interdisciplinary studies in the conceptualization and exercise of authority and power in the medieval Church.

This volume inventorises the whole historiographical production of Late Antiquity.
