WHAT DOES DOMINATE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dominate

Ancient Rome portal v t e The Dominate or late Roman Empire was the "despotic" later phase of government, following the earlier period known as the "Principate", in the ancient Roman Empire from the conclusion of the Third Century Crisis of 235–284 until the formal date of the collapse of the Eastern Roman Empire in AD 1453 at the hands of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. In the Eastern half of the Empire, and especially from the time of Justinian I, the system of the Dominate evolved into autocratic absolutism. The term is derived from the Latin dominus, which translates in English to lord or master. This form of address – already used by slaves to address their masters – was used for emperors from the Julio-Claudian dynasty on, but inconsistently – Tiberius in particular is said to have reviled it as sycophancy. It became common under Diocletian, who is therefore a logical choice as the first ruler of the "early" dominate.
