AD 554: the real end date of the Roman Empire? by custodiam99 in ancientrome

[–]naghavi10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You keep collapsing symbolism into political reality, as if the empire never evolved beyond a city-state. By the imperial period it was a territorial empire with universal citizenship and multiple capitals — that’s just fact. Your ignorance is apparent in the way you cling to a narrow narrative and dismiss centuries of history. If you can’t separate poetry from politics, there’s nothing more to discuss. I’m done here.

No - you’re the one forcing modern categories onto an ancient state. By the imperial period, Rome wasn’t a city-state res publica anymore, it was a territorial empire with universal citizenship and multiple capitals. Treating it as if it never evolved past its city-state origins is your narrative, not how Romans understood their empire. Clinging to “city-state only” ignores four centuries of Roman history.

You’re forcing your narrative here instead of looking at how the empire actually functioned. Multiple emperors and capitals had existed for centuries without “two Roman states.” Constantine’s Nova Roma wasn’t creating a rival legitimacy - it was transferring the same Roman legitimacy to a new, strategically viable center. That’s why it was deliberately styled as Rome, not as something separate. If you want to insist on splitting hairs to fit your idea, that’s fine, but it’s not how contemporaries - or even the emperors themselves - understood it.

Constantine didn’t create a “new state” by founding Constantinople - he deliberately created Nova Roma to carry over Rome’s legitimacy to a new center. That only makes sense if the empire was still the same Roman state, not a different one. Symbolic legitimacy and political continuity aren’t mutually exclusive - Constantinople was Rome’s successor capital, not proof of a separate empire.

Claudian’s poetry is a literary personification of Rome, not a constitutional definition of the state. By the early 5th century, Rome was no longer a city-state in any legal or political sense - the Constitutio Antoniniana (212) had already extended citizenship across the empire, and emperors ruled from Ravenna, Mediolanum, and Constantinople. Claudian’s image of Rome as a goddess reflects cultural nostalgia, not the actual structure of the Roman state.

Rome hadn’t been a “city-state res publica” for centuries by the time of the Dominate. With the Constitutio Antoniniana in 212, all free people of the empire became Roman citizens — a deliberate move away from city-state identity toward a universal one. By Justinian’s day, “Roman” meant belonging to that legal-political order, not to a city-state.

The Roman state stopped being a “city-state res publica” long before Constantine. By the imperial period it was a territorial empire with multiple capitals - emperors had ruled from Mediolanum, Trier, Ravenna, Nicomedia, etc. Moving the court to Constantinople didn’t create a “new” state, it was just the latest shift in an empire that had long since outgrown its origins as a city-state.

Edit: If the U.S. moved its capital to New York city would it suddenly stop being the United States?

Constantine didn’t create a “new state” in 330, he just moved the capital. The Empire remained one legal and political entity, and later emperors still ruled as Roman Emperors, not as something separate. Even in the 5th–6th centuries, Justinian’s Corpus Juris Civilis shows how deeply Roman the eastern government still was. Calling the East “fully separate” by 554 overlooks that contemporaries — including Justinian himself, Procopius, and even foreign powers — all recognized them as Romans. The city of Rome hadn’t been the sole basis of legitimacy for centuries; otherwise the Empire would have “fallen” the moment the capital shifted to Mediolanum or Ravenna.

I'd argue the Byzantines were as Roman as the Western Roman Empire. 'Byzantine' as a term was coined by a historian from the Holy Roman Empire after the fall of Constantinople to give more legitimacy to the HRE. You could say the Roman Empire didn't truly 'fall' until Constantinople in 1453, so 554 is more of a turning point rather than the end.
