"The Byzantine world contained many important cities throughout its empire. Although
it was not 'urban' in the sense of the word today, its cities played a far more fundamental
role than those of its European neighbours. This book, through a collection of twenty-four
essays, discusses aspects of, and different approaches to, Byzantine urbanism from
the early to late Byzantine periods. It provides both a chronological and thematic
perspective to the study of Byzantine cities, bringing together literary, documentary,
and archival sources with archaeological results, material culture, art and architecture
resulting in a rich synthesis of the variety of regional and sub-regional transformations
of Byzantine urban landscapes. Organized into four sections, this book covers: Theory
and Historiography, Geography and Economy, Architecture and the Built Environment,
and Daily Life and Material Culture. It includes more specialized accounts that address
the centripetal role of Constantinople and its broader influence across the empire.
Such new perspectives help to challenge the historiographical balance between 'margins
and metropolis,' and also to include geographical areas often regarded as peripheral,
like the coastal urban centers of the Byzantine Mediterranean as well as cities on
islands, such as Crete, Cyprus, and Sicily which have more recently yielded well-excavated
and stratigraphically-sound urban sites. The Routledge Handbook of the Byzantine City
provides both an overview and detailed study of the Byzantine city to specialist scholars,
students, and enthusiasts alike, and therefore will appeal to all those interested
in Byzantine urbanism and society, as well as those studying medieval society in general"
