Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the fifth-century monk Saint Barbatianus, the narrative explores the evolving religious landscape of Ravenna from the Late Roman Empire through the Middle Ages. It highlights how stories of saints and their relics provided solace and guidance to the city's archbishops, monks, and aristocrats, allowing them to reflect on Ravenna's past glory amidst its ruins. This practice played a crucial role in helping the citizens navigate their city's revival and significance during the tenth century under Ottonian rule.
