Medieval Rome was uniquely important, both as a physical city and
as an idea with immense cultural capital, encapsulating the legacy
of the ancient Empire, the glorious world of the martyrs and the
triumph of Christian faith. Rome Across Time and Space explores
these twin dimensions of 'place' and 'idea' and analyses Rome's
role in the transmission of culture throughout the Middle Ages.
Ranging widely over liturgy, architecture, sculpture and textual
history, the authors focus on the mutual enrichment derived from
the exchange of ideas and illuminate how cultural exchanges between
Rome and its 'neighbours' (Byzantium, Italy, England and France),
and within Rome (between Ancient and early Christian Rome and the
medieval city) worked as catalysts for change, both to shape the
medieval city and to help construct the medieval idea of Rome
itself. The result is a rich and original perspective on a
beguiling city with enduring appeal.
