Graphic Signs of Authority in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle
Ages presents a cultural history of graphic signs and examines how
they were employed to communicate secular and divine authority in
the late antique Mediterranean and early medieval Europe. Visual
materials such as the sign of the cross, christograms, monograms,
and other such devices, are examined against the backdrop of the
cultural, religious, and socio-political transition from the late
Graeco-Roman world to that of medieval Europe. This monograph is a
synthetic study of graphic visual evidence from a wide range of
material media that have rarely been studied collectively,
including various mass-produced items and unique objects of art,
architectural monuments and epigraphic inscriptions, as well as
manuscripts and charters. This study promises to provide a timely
reference tool for historians, art historians, archaeologists,
epigraphists, manuscript scholars, and numismatists.
