Ave civitas,
I am writing a novel about Alaric and Stilicho. I cannot find any information about which office in the government in Constantinopolis would be responsible for treaties with foreign people during the late fourth century. There surely must have been an office whose responsibilities included drafting, issuing, and filing treaty agreements.
Are there any texts (published) that descirbes that office and its responsibilities?
I though that Jones's "Later Roman Empire" might contain something about that, but I could not find anything.
Again, thanks for your help in advance.
