The insular system of the early byzantine mediterranean

archaeology and history

Ce volume est issu d'un seminaire international tenu à Nicosie (Chypre), du 24 au 26 octobre 2007.

This volume – resulting from an international workshop held in Cyprus in 2007 – focuses on the multifaceted character of the Mediterranean insular system during Early Byzantine times, ca. 400-700. Through a wide range of regional syntheses and case studies, as well as a multi-disciplinary approach, the volume seeks to explore a complex phenomenon from several different points of view: the Mediterranean longue duree, local developments and evolution, the true nature of insularity, and the notion of connectivity. Six papers in English, four in Italian, three in French.
