abstract

The paper synthesises and develops further several attempts to model aspects of the complexity of the infrastructure and administrative organization of the Roman Empire between the 4th and 8th century CE based on evidence from historiography, historical geography, sigillography and archaeology. It provides a short introduction into concepts and analytical tools of network theory. Furthermore, the paper combines this approach with a visualization of the spatial range of Roman power and maps based on mobility and perceptions of contemporaries. Thereby, the already successful integration of the “relational turn” to Byzantine studies shall be demonstrated.
