Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the importance of the Italian city of Ravenna during Europe's Dark Age, from the time of Alaric's invasion of the Cisalpine plain to the reign of Charlemagne. The author argues that Ravenna's unique geographical position between Italy and the Cisalpine plain secured it as a crucial entry point. He demonstrates why Ravenna became the western Roman Empire's last stronghold against the barbarian threat, then the center of Justinian's attempt to reconquer the West for the Byzantine Empire. Through its stunningly preserved early Christian and Byzantine churches and monuments, Ravenna serves as a time capsule of its era. The author's thoughtful analysis of the political, military, and religious forces at play during this period offers new insights into the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of Europe.
