Roman Emperor (Late Empire)

The office of Roman Emperor underwent significant turbulence in the fourth and fifth centuries, after assuming the trappings of Eastern despotism during the Dominate. In the West, its holders became puppets of a succession of barbarian kings. In the East, it consolidated its new autocratic trappings as it transformed into the office of Byzantine Emperor.
