Royal court of Byzantium

The Royal Court of Byzantium was the central institution where the emperor’s authority was displayed and administrative affairs were managed. It included officials, courtiers, and staff who organized ceremonies, advised the emperor, and maintained state protocols. The court also served as a symbol of imperial power and stability, hosting events, diplomatic functions, and religious ceremonies. It reflected Byzantine culture, combining political, religious, and social elements, and played a key role in reinforcing the emperor’s position as both a political ruler and a divine authority.
