From the moment that Emperor Constantine moved the capital of the empire from Rome to Constantinople in 330 AD, until the fall of the City eleven centuries later, Byzantium thrived as the world's strongest empire, exerting deep influence not only on neighboring cultures but also reinterpreting ancient Greek and Roman civilization in a unique Christian context.
Contemporary research has transformed Byzantine Studies and brought Byzantine scholarship to the forefront. The Handbook of Byzantine Studies is based on this modern research and offers original essays by esteemed Byzantine scholars, addressing various themes such as memory, emotions, childhood, and beauty.
The twenty-seven studies shed new light on the complex Byzantine culture and showcase its legacy in the modern world.
