- This 530 page study was researched over ten years and required numerous visits to Ravenna, to study the monuments, observe recent archaeology and find rare publications in Italian. By analysing a great variety of primary sources in Latin, Gothic and Greek, including papyri, manuscripts, medical texts and unexpected geographical documents, mostly written in Ravenna, as well as the famous mosaics, a novel perspective emerged on East and West in the Mediterranean world dominated by Constantinople. This investigation also demanded a redefinition of Late Antiquity as Early Christendom, which is related to critical insights into Ravenna’s role in European development.
