The imperial government over the central provinces of the Byzantine Empire c.9501100 was both sovereign and apathetic, dealing effectively with a narrow set of objectives, chiefly collecting revenue and maintaining imperial sovereignty. Outside these spheres, action needed to be solicited from imperial officials, leaving vast opportunities for local people to act independently without legal stricture or fear of imperial involvement.Neville, Leonora is the author of 'Authority in Byzantine Provincial Society, 950-1100', published 2004 under ISBN 9780521838658 and ISBN 0521838657.
