Abstract
Abstract From Diocletian onwards, the Roman imperial administration rapidly expanded to become the largest and most complex bureaucracy in the history of the ancient world, with an estimated number of 30,000–40,000 imperial officials (excluding those of the cities). The structure, responsibilities, and social implications of this bureaucratic machine are amply documented in sources such as the legal codes of the era, the Notitia Dignitatum or the works of John Lydus.
