For more than a thousand years, Byzantium flourished at the
crossroads of the Eastern and Western worlds. But who were the
people of the first modern civilized state? What features
distinguished them from earlier civilizations, and what cultural
characteristics, despite their multi-ethnic origins, made them
uniquely Byzantine?
Through a series of remarkably detailed composite portraits, an
international collection of distinguished scholars has created a
startlingly clear vision of the Byzantines and their social world.
Paupers, peasants, soldiers, teachers, bureaucrats, clerics,
emperors, and saints--all are vividly and authentically presented
in the context of ordinary Byzantine life. No comparable volume
exists that so fascinatingly recovers from the past the men and
women of Byzantium, their culture and their lifeways, and their
strikingly modern worldview.
