The Adriatic has long occupied a liminal position between different
cultures, languages and faiths. This book offers the first
synthesis of its history between the seventh and the mid-fifteenth
century, a period coinciding with the existence of the Byzantine
Empire which, as heir to the Roman Empire, lay claim to the region.
The period also saw the rise of Venice and it is important to
understand the conditions which would lead to her dominance in the
late Middle Ages. An international team of historians and
archaeologists examines trade, administration and cultural exchange
between the Adriatic and Byzantium but also within the region
itself, and makes more widely known much previously scattered and
localised research and the results of archaeological excavations in
both Italy and Croatia. Their bold interpretations offer many
stimulating ideas for rethinking the entire history of the
Mediterranean during the period.
