This book explores the Byzantine city and the changes it went
through from 610 to 1204. Throughout this period, cities were
always the centers of political and social life for both secular
and religious authorities, and, furthermore, the focus of the
economic interests of local landowning elites. This book therefore
examines the regional and subregional trajectories in the urban
function, landscape, structure and fabric of Byzantium's cities,
synthesizing the most cutting-edge archaeological excavations, the
results of analyses of material culture (including ceramics, coins,
and seals) and a reassessment of the documentary and hagiographical
sources. The transformation the Byzantine urban landscape underwent
from the seventh to thirteenth centuries can afford us a better
grasp of changes to the Byzantine central and provincial
administrative apparatus; their fiscal machinery, military
institutions, socio-economic structures and religious organization.
This book will be of interest to students and researchers of the
history, archaeology and architecture of Byzantium.
