A comparative and interdisciplinary study, Rome, Ravenna, and Venice explores how three cities preserved and remoulded their common Byzantine past. It sheds light on how far these societies were the heirs of the Empire and how they imagined a new part-Roman, part-Italian identity in the centuries after their imperial links were severed.
