Government Reform

Katepanáta

katepanata

The answer to warmongering neighbors is the consolidation of newly conquered territory through resolute military authority. Originating from the word katepánō — the one placed at the top — the Katepanáta stand above the ordinary themes, grouping provinces beneath a single commander invested with both civil and martial power. First employed with prominence in the 10th and 11th centuries, from Italy with its seat at Bari to the volatile frontiers of Armenia under emperors such as Basil II, these great districts ensured that distant and contested lands were not left to fragmented rule. Let these bastions of our willpower serve as a banner against all those who seek to take our crown from us!
