Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the evolution of political cultures from Late Antiquity to the early Crusades, this volume examines how distinct communities formed after the fall of the Roman Empire. It highlights the varying influences of Graeco-Roman heritage across the Latin West, Orthodox Byzantium, and the Islamic world, particularly in terms of ethnicity and religion's role in governance. The analysis reveals how these elements shaped political legitimacy and integration differently in each region, offering valuable insights for those interested in the post-Roman Mediterranean and East-West relations.
