History

Society

Government

Political historians studying the Fiorentines have traditionally separated the history of the Empire into four distinct phases. Each of these phases outlines the shifting governmental structure of the empire, particularly in relation to the role of the Fiorentine King or Rex.

Foederate

a short period during which the rex is restrained by the treaties with the other cities

Dominate

a period in which the rex was near absolute, divine hereditary power etc. lasted from ~300 to ~218. Defeats in the Talsconensis wars see power shifted to the assembly

Consulate

a period in which oligarchs in the senate dominate political proceedings, with a lot of tension boiling socially. The Rex is essentially a figurehead, and during this period the hereditary line dies out, making the position elective.

During the late period military generals become far more important, numerous civil wars occur.

Imperialis

In this period the position of Rex is largely filled by strongmen generals who monopolise military power and rely more upon their imperium than their position as Rex. Usually differentiated between an earlier and later period, with later Imperators relying upon military governors and warlords and often ending up mere figureheads

Economy
