Hinter den Mauern und auf dem offenen Land. Leben im Byzantinischen Reich

The exhibition "Byzanz. Splendour and Everyday Life" of the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany in Cooperation with the Roman-Germanic Central Museum Mainz (26.2.-13.6.2010) opened up new prospects for Byzantine research. The accompanying conference "Hinter den Mauern und auf dem offenen Land: Neue Forschungen zum Leben im Byzantinischen Reich" ingested the approaches and enhanced the subjects of the conference in an interdisciplinary context. Everyday life in urban and rural regions of the empire has been focused. The contributions in this volume consolidate the results of the conference in Mainz. They consecrate to the capital Constantinople, the cities and their hinterland on the Balkans and in Asia Minor as well as everyday life at sea, in monasteries and in the country.
