Abstract
This thesis examines how the Roman political concept of imperium changed as a result of the tumultuous events of the fourth and fifth centuries, from its original meaning as a specifically Roman and pagan concept prior to Constantine, to a specifically Christian concept which found justification in the teachings of the Bible and which could be modified and adapted as the historical situation demanded to ensure the continual development of a new 'Christian Empire'.
