  • Summary

    Chapter Five: Imperial Creations (192–284 CE) investigates the outcome of these negotiations between the citizens and their imperial overlords, as the balance of Roman involvement in Antioch shifted from provincial to imperial in an increasingly unstable climate. Antioch was not yet a completely imperially governed city, as the civic administration retained a visible degree of agency and still presented itself as a distinct body. Even so, the Antiochians were forced to adjust under intensified Roman rule as the imperial government exploited the city’s resources and interrupted civic operations.

  • Summary

    With the inception of the late antique period, Antioch finally transformed fully into the role of imperial Roman city and capital. As explored in Chapter Six: Imperial City (284–450 CE), even this status did not end the expression or boldness of the Antiochians, but the civic structure as a whole continued to evolve under the now formalized imperial presence and the Christianization of the empire. Antioch and its people were integrated into the Roman imperial system to a greater degree than ever before.
