“…Usually, ambassadors then had to watch the payment of the janissaries, which was a spectacle intended to impress them and show the strength and discipline of the Ottoman military. 73 Schmid, having delayed his arrival in Constantinople, thus missed this display -whether it was intentional or not is another matter. Upon entering the divan, the grand vizier, the nine other viziers and both kadıasker rose from their seats.…”

In seventeenth-century Habsburg-Ottoman diplomatic relations, grand embassies played a crucial role in preserving the peace between the two empires. In the last decade, they have gained some popularity as a subject of historical research. Th e grand embassy of Johann Rudolf Schmid zum Schwarzenhorn (1650-51), however, has thus far received only little attention.

The volume examines the Roman imperial court as a social and cultural institution across six centuries between the reigns of Augustus (27 bc–ad 14) and Justinian (ad 527–65). The Principate (the early Roman Empire) and Late Antiquity (the late Roman Empire) are usually examined separately by scholars who specialize in one period or the other. This book brings together scholars of both phases of Roman history to analyse continuities and changes across the centuries, focusing on themes such as court ceremonial, imperial residences, systems of patronage, the roles of generals and women, and the relationship between the court and the church. A concluding essay sets the transformation of the Roman imperial court in historical context by comparing its development with other monarchical courts across Eurasia.
