Date: May 20th, 2025 9:48 AM Author: dun azn theatre That isn't what I'm talking about--I'm not talking about the general organizational topography of Imperial administration which you can get from a Mary Beard book. Short, medium, and long-term decision-making was occurring inside the Palace of Domitian and then within the imperial court as it moved. There was likely the equivalent of a president's daily brief. There were staffers and sub-staffers. There were daily agenda. There were specialists who were relied on for specific knowledge-area expertise. Meticulous books and records were being kept. And that's only at the first node, before you get into the devolved powers within individual provinces, protectorates, etc. that your comment references. We know almost nothing about these administrative-bureaucratic loops. They were there, they necessarily must have been given the functioning of the Empire, but for various reasons (we can get into this), we don't have good documentary or archeological evidence for what they actually looked like in practice.

Date: May 20th, 2025 6:44 PM Author: Metal school masturbator I have a couple of baseline questions:
1. Isn't this how the Achaemenids ran their empire? With a mobile capital that could move from place to place? It seems like the only thing Romans did differently was create written records.
2. Are the records any good? Most government records are dogshit, just as a baseline rule. The figures tend to be inaccurate and unreliable. |
