==4. Political and Social Structure:== * <b>Absolute Monarchy:</b> The Byzantine emperor (Basileus) ruled as an absolute monarch, with power often seen as divinely ordained. * <b>Bureaucracy:</b> A sophisticated and efficient bureaucracy supported the emperor and managed the vast empire. * <b>Social Hierarchy:</b> While the empire had an elite class, it also exhibited a degree of social mobility, especially in its earlier centuries. Family was a central institution, and women, particularly empresses like Theodora and Irene, could hold significant power and influence. Eunuchs also held important positions in the court.
