The emperor in ancient Rome was an absolute ruler who was the most powerful man in the empire. At that time, the pope, intended as the Bishop of Rome, was not the most powerful clergyman. He was part of the Pentarchy. This was a term which conveyed the idea of universal rule over all Christians by the heads (or Patriarchs) of the five major episcopal sees of the Roman Empire: Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem. These five patriarchs were equals.
