Politics and diplomacy have always been as much about the social and cultural contexts within which political actors operate as they are about the political structures themselves. This was also true of the Roman Empire of the fourth century AD, ruled by the Emperor Constantine the Great-a society marked by social, religious, and political transformation as the empire came under the influence of the Christian Church.

This has led to deprecating views of the Late Empire as an age of unquestioning despotism, political decline, and social decay.
