This book explores daily life in Byzantine cities and their surroundings, offering rich insights into the culture and experiences of the time.
This volume is inspired by the exhibition titled 'Byzantium – Splendour and Everyday Life,' which took place at the Römisch-Germanischen Zentralmuseums in Mainz in 2010. It explores various aspects of life in Constantinople and other Byzantine cities, as well as their surrounding regions in the Balkans and Asia Minor. The book delves into the daily experiences of people at sea, in monasteries, and in rural settings, providing a comprehensive view of Byzantine life.
The conference that accompanied the exhibition opened up new avenues for Byzantine studies, encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars. This volume expands on the themes presented at the exhibition, focusing on the nuances of everyday existence in both urban and rural areas of the Byzantine Empire. Through a collection of contributions from various experts, it aims to deepen the understanding of the social and cultural dynamics of the time.
By bringing together the findings from the Mainz conference, this book offers insights into the capital city of Constantinople and its influence on surrounding regions. It highlights the interconnectedness of different aspects of life, from the bustling urban centers to the serene countryside, and sheds light on the rich tapestry of experiences that defined the Byzantine era.
