Say I was writing a historical novel (which I am not!), how would an official refer to his master, the emperor? Or even a Dux or Count? At this point (380s - 420s) the nobility were really going for elite status weren't they, no pretensions of being princeps or anything.
"Your orders come straight from His High Eminence, His Glorious Majesty, Theodosius"??
IN Chris Scarre's book Chronicle of the Roman Emperors, he gives the full Latin titles for all emperors up to the early 3rd century, then cuts off. Can I find THeodosius' full imperial titles anywhere????
