Philip II's administrative reforms
Philip II's administrative reforms aimed to strengthen central control and improve efficiency. He created a more organized bureaucracy by appointing trusted officials, known as royal administrators, to oversee local regions. He also standardized laws and taxation to ensure consistency across his empire. Philip centralized decision-making, reducing the influence of local nobles, and established a professional army funded through efficient tax collection. These reforms enhanced royal authority, streamlined governance, and helped maintain control over a vast and diverse territory.
