- Summary:
- Rome was the most accomplished urban form of Mediterranean antiquity. Due to its remarkable and complex urban continuity, it remained the version of a way of living that other cities aspired to achieve throughout the early Middle Ages. Yet Rome between 400 and 1050 is often only studied as an idea that inspired imaginations, or for the papacy’s role in cultural transmission across Europe. This volume drastically refocuses our attention on Rome’s inhabitants, their identities, relationships, institutions, experiences, agencies, and spaces, and on how these local aspects interacted with the city’s universal character. It also bridges two periods of Rome that are typically separated, namely late antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Through collaborative authorship of thematic essays, it integrates Anglophone discourses and approaches to Rome by scholars from Italian as well as other European traditions.
