What type of power did the emperor wield?

Answer 1

It depends on the "emperor" you are talking about. The emperor of Byzantium, or the Greek Eastern Empire, ruled a sophisticated state with many of the same powers and privileges as the ancient Roman emperors. The German emperors of the Latin West aspired to similar prestige, but ruled over a far more fractious polity and had to compete with powerful feudal barons for control of their realm.

Answer 2

The emperors of ancient Rome held supreme power. They controlled the army, the treasury, the courts, and could overturn any legal ruling. They controlled all building and all urban improvements such as roads and water and they had the power to appoint and recall officials.
