The Byzantine Great Palace, located adjacent to the Hagia Sophia, is arguably the most important Western complex to have disappeared from the architectural archive. Despite this absence, it may be argued that the representational halls of the palace - crown halls, basilicas, and reception halls or triclinia - served as models for the ascription of imperial symbolism, and for emulation by rival political centres. In a later phase of its existence, Byzantine emperors, in turn, looked to the example of Islamic palaces in constructing settings for diplomatic exchange. While the Great Palace has been studied through the archaeological record and Byzantine texts, its form remains a matter of conjecture, however in this study, a novel focus upon the operation of ascription of meaning applied to architectural forms, and their emulation in later architecture will enable a sense of how the forms of the palace were understood by their inhabitants and their clients and visiting emissaries. Through comparative analysis of both emulative models and copies, this study proposes a hypothesis of the layout of the complex both in its physical and social contexts.

Evolving from a patrician domus, the emperor's residence on the Palatine became the centre of the state administration. Elaborate ceremonial regulated access to the imperial family, creating a system of privilege which strengthened the centralised power. Constantine followed the same model in his new capital, under a Christian veneer. The divine attributes of the imperial office were refashioned, with the emperor as God's representative. The palace was an imitation of heaven. Following the loss of the empire in the West and the Near East, the Palace in Constantinople was preserved – subject to the transition from Late Antique to Mediaeval conditions – until the Fourth Crusade, attracting the attention of Visgothic, Lombard, Merovingian, Carolingian, Norman and Muslim rulers. Renaissance princes later drew inspiration for their residences directly from ancient ruins and Roman literature, but there was also contact with the Late Byzantine court. Finally, in the age of Absolutism the palace became again an instrument of power in vast centralised states, with renewed interest in Roman and Byzantine ceremonial. Spanning the broadest chronological and geographical limits of the Roman imperial tradition, from the Principate to the Ottoman empire, the papers in the volume treat various aspects of palace architecture, art and ceremonial.

[Truncated abstract] This dissertation has been undertaken in an effort to better understand, from an architectural viewpoint, the early Great Palace of the Byzantine Emperors in Constantinople, a complex that remained in full or partial use from the fourth century to at least the end of the twelfth century, and was a key architectural monument bridging between the Late Antique and mediaeval periods. For the purposes of this study, the early period of the Great Palace is assumed to date from the foundation of Constantinople by Constantine the Great in 324 AD, through to and including the reign of Heraclius (610-641), in which period, it is argued, following Dark, typological forms of Roman architecture continued to be constructed in the Palace, long after they had disappeared in Western Europe, and which may be contrasted with the style and typology of the more familiar secular and ecclesiastical buildings of the Middle and Late Byzantine periods. This thesis approaches the problem of the topography of the Palace from multiple perspectives: an architectural and art-historical study of the historical development of particular building typologies and construction techniques, and symbolic forms and motifs evident in Late Antique and Early Byzantine architecture, and a study of the archaeological record of the known excavation sites of the Great Palace. Finally, I have made use of historical and philological studies of the Byzantine texts that refer to particular buildings within or adjacent to the Palace, notably the tenth-century Book of Ceremonies. In Part One, I will conclude that there was a close relation between particular building forms and ritual practices in the early Great Palace. It will be argued that the spatial sequences of the Great Palace were designed to heighten the impressiveness of processions and ceremonies through gateways, elevated passages, peristyle courtyards and triclinia. I propose that these architectural configurations derived from Late Antique Roman architecture, and in turn influenced other early mediaeval palatine complexes, and argue that these correspondences indicate a conscious desire to emulate the Roman past. The buildings and spaces did not form a neutral backdrop, but instead contributed to court ritual through their symbolic settings. While a continuity of meaning bridging the Imperial Roman and Early Byzantine periods is not proposed, it is argued that certain formal motifs within the Palace were ascribed with significance in support of the maintenance of an imperial tradition...
