    “Guided by the work of Mr. Maurice Pallasse, director of his law thesis, Mr. Roland Ganghoffer started from the following idea: was the evolution of municipal institutions during the 4th and 5th centuries not different depending on whether one considers the eastern or western part of the Roman Empire? Constantine, founder of Constantinople, indeed set in motion a multifaceted differentiation between the two halves of the Roman world, which was materialized on the political-social level by the existence of two distinct Senates and two fundamentally different senatorial aristocracies. It is not inconceivable a priori that municipal institutions also evolved in divergent ways and that, little by little, the dissimilarities became so great as to justify the political separation into two Empires, a division that became definitive in 395. The author has therefore systematically distinguished between Eastern and Western legislation in order to contrast them and define the political, economic, and social realities to which they applied in each of the two parts of the Empire. The investigation leads to the following three results, stated in these terms in the preface by Mr. Pallasse: 1. In the East, the powerful were members of the municipal curiae, and even made use of them. But in the West, they avoided them. 2. In the East, members of the curiae could access state functions, even the Senate of Constantinople. In the West, they have no hope of leaving their curia except by fleeing to the properties of powerful figures who are foreign to them. 3. In the East, the State retreats before powerful curiae and the power of their members. In the West, it replaces them with its curatores, its defensores, and even its counts.
