Resumo
When focusing our vision of the Roman world the end of the third century AD, we find
an interesting move about imperial political structure. It was from this period that
intensified civil wars and usurpations of power and at the same time, we settled a
series of transformations, covering from administrative reforms, to the ideological
theoretical redefinition of imperial power with the introduction of Dominato. The
Emperor Diocletian government was one of the landmarks of this process, mainly
because this sovereign could undertake reforms of autocratic principles concerning
the administration, supervision and military subject. In this context, the legitimacy of
the ruler was an important hub for maintaining unity. This work aims to analyze the
relations of power that moved the imperial policy during the consolidation of the
Tetrarchy (284-305 AD), and the links that were established between the imperial
government and the provinces, focusing on the power of legitimation process. For
such, we selected as the source panegyirícs discourses produced in the third century
AD, authored Mamertino, Eumênio and anonymous, the Breviarium Historiæ
Romanae of Eutropius, and Liber de Caesaribus of Aurelius Victor, produced in the
fourth century AD. Even if such works do not on purpose of discuss the relations of
integration by promoting a praise to the Emperor, in the case of panegyrics, and a
narrative about the history of the Empire, in the case of breviaries, the author is
compelled to treat these elements society and the imperial politics, which ultimately
reveal these relations. When approaching the formation of the Tetrarchy from the
perspective of panegyrists and breviarists, attempt to identify the structure of the
procedures in this form of political organization. In addition to the formulation of an
idealized image of the rulers, the construction of the legitimacy of sovereigns who
were in charge of this reorganization was a constituent part of building an imperial
unit in the third century AD.
