Produktbeschreibung

This comprehensive volume offers new insights into a seminal period of medieval Eastern Roman imperial history: the rule of Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos (913/945-959). Its ¿fteen chapters are organized around the concepts of center, province and periphery and take the reader from the splendor of Constantinople to the fringes of the empire. They examine life in the imperial city in the age of Constantine VII, the cultural revivals in Byzantium and the Carolingian West, as well as the emperor's historiographical projects, including his historical excerpts and the famous "Book of Ceremonies". Entering the sphere of the provinces, the authors explore visual messages on the coinage of Romanos I Lekapenos and Constantine Porphyrogennetos and its circulation through the provinces, provincial legal culture in the tenth-century empire, and offer a new analysis of Constantine VII's two military harangues. Spotlights on the empire's periphery include chapters on borderland trade with the Muslim world, a compelling new theory of the untimely deaths of the children of King Hugh of Italy, and the origins of medieval Croatia in relation to information gained from Constantine VII's "De administrando imperio". The ¿nal chapter offers intriguing insights into Constantine VII's legacy and reception, from later middle Byzantine historiography via the Renaissance editions of the emperor's treatises to Bavarian King Louis II's Constantinople-inspired building projects. The volume combines leading scholars and new voices and contains survey chapters with detailed case studies.
