Ravenna: Capital of Empire, Crucible of Europe

byJudith Herrin

Ravenna examines capital of Empire, Crucible of Europe, combining Judith Herrin's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
