Book Description paperback. Condition: Sehr gut. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). Very good, clean copy. While the fame and huge achievements of ancient Rome are an integral part of world history, this fame has often been allowed to overshadow the splendour of the medieval city. This book sets out to show that during the Middle Ages, Rome could offer glories that were in their way equally significant. From the foundation of the great basilicas of the early Christian centuries to the first Jubilee of 1300, when crowds flocked to the city from all over Europe, the city of Rome developed a civilization of unrivalled vigour and vitality. The culture of the city embraced not only a matchless range of buildings, many of them embellished with mosaics and frescos, but also a richly varied internal life. At the same time, Rome, as the seat of the papacy played a part of international importance throughout the medieval centuries. ISBN 9780312123499 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 270.
