Summary:
Even today, many students and scholars of Byzantium appear to forget that the Empire stretched west of the Adriatic for centuries after Justinian. Indeed, Italy continued to represent a key resource for the Empire into the 11th century. A major project is now assessing all available evidence to assess its scope and legacy to modern Italy. The lecture will give a brief account of the project and expected benefits for modern scholarship and the public.
