Roma Felix - Formation and Reflections of Medieval Rome (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Carragáin, Éamonn Ó; Vegvar, Carol Neuman De

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

After the Roman empire fell, medieval Europe continued to be fascinated by Rome itself, 'the Chief of Cities', once the centre of the empire, including its history, its buildings, and above all its early Christian martyrs, and the papacy, central to the western Latin church. This book explores ways in which the city itself was preserved, envisioned, and transformed not only by its residents, but also by the many pilgrims who flocked to Rome, and by northern European cultures (in particular, the Irish and English) who imagined and imitated the city as they understood it.
