Document Details : Title: Crisis and Wealth in Byzantine Italy Subtitle: The Libri Pontificales of Rome and Ravenna Author(s): NEIL, Bronwen Journal: Byzantion Volume: 82 Date: 2012 Pages: 279-303 DOI: 10.2143/BYZ.82.0.2174091 Abstract : Using the Liber Pontificalis and Liber Pontificalis ecclesiae Ravennatis, the official records of the churches of Rome and Ravenna, the author surveys the evidence for episcopal involvement in the many crises that impinged on these two important cities and on Byzantine Italy generally in the fifth and sixth centuries. Six categories of crisis are investigated. By a comparison of the two sources Neil examines the defining differences between Roman and Ravennan approaches to crisis management in Byzantine Italy. |
