摘要
古罗马的"政制"传统在拜占庭时期具有强大的影响力,它是皇帝统治合法性的重要来源.在5-6世纪,囿于罗马传统框架,军队虽然是"政制"的核心要素之一,但在皇位更迭中并无主导地位.然而,在黑暗时代,帝国的生存危机和军区制改革将军队置于国家的政治生活中心,军区军队频繁干预皇位更迭,成为政制传统的颠覆者.皇权强调回归古罗马传统,重塑军队在政制中的合法捍卫者角色,用政制庇护皇权,从而造就了异化的古罗马传统,这是拜占庭帝国在古罗马政治基础上发展出中古特征的体现.
Abstract
The Roman tradition of politeia exerted concessive influence in the Byzantine Empire.Bound by the tra-ditional viewpoint,the army,as a core element of politeia,played no dominant role around the fifth and sixth centuries.During the dark ages,however,the survival crisis and the themata reform brought the army to the center of the imperial political stage.The themata armies frequently intervened to change the imperial throne and became subverter of politeia.The emperors emphasized the return to the ancient Roman political tradition and remodeled the role of the army in polit-eia,thus protecting imperial power.The protection of politeia for imperial stability reflected the alienation of traditional politeia.
