The Transformation of the Roman World, AD 400-900 by Leslie Webster
The fall of the Roman Empire and the beginnings of what is known as the Middle Ages was a period of tremendous change and upheaval in Europe and Byzantium. This period of transition had far reaching effects on society, the economy, philosophy, religion, rituals and art. A five-year research project of the European Science Foundation into this period has culminated in a Europe-wide programme of exhibitions and this publication. This work contains eight essays that survey significant general aspects of the transformation from the Roman to the Medieval world. Five shorter chapters discuss the themes addressed by the specific exhibitions and offer illustrated summary catalogues of the objects in each exhibition. The exhibitions themselves range from images of power and authority in post-Roman Britain to the splendid and intricate gold brooches of Scandinavia; from Byzantine burial practices to medieval Dutch hoards.| SKU | Unavailable |
