Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the darkness of a hut in a village in Thrace, a woman dies. She has just given birth to a fatherless child, who seems as destined as anyone in those distant lands, to suffer the usurpations of the barbarians who have long threaten the Eastern Roman Empire. But an old soldier snatches him from misery and takes him with him, raising him in the ranks of the army. That child destined for poverty will become a centurion, and then, accomplice a twist of fate, he will come to wear the purple in Constantinople. But an enemy, closer than he thinks, will thwart his good intentions. This is the story of Phocas, one of the most evil and bloodthirsty emperors that Roman history remembers.
Book Synopsis The Middle Ages in 50 Objects by : Elina Gertsman
Download or read book The Middle Ages in 50 Objects written by Elina Gertsman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary array of images included in this volume reveals the full and rich history of the Middle Ages. Exploring material objects from the European, Byzantine and Islamic worlds, the book casts a new light on the cultures that formed them, each culture illuminated by its treasures. The objects are divided among four topics: The Holy and the Faithful; The Sinful and the Spectral; Daily Life and Its Fictions, and Death and Its Aftermath. Each section is organized chronologically, and every object is accompanied by a penetrating essay that focuses on its visual and cultural significance within the wider context in which the object was made and used. Spot maps add yet another way to visualize and consider the significance of the objects and the history that they reveal. Lavishly illustrated, this is an appealing and original guide to the cultural history of the Middle Ages.

In Staging Holiness: The Case of Hospitaller Rhodes (ca. 1309-1522) Sofia Zoitou offers a study of the history of relic collections, devotional rituals, and sites invested with special meaning on Rhodes, during a time when the island became one of the most frequented ports of call for ships carrying pilgrims from Venice to the Holy Land. Scrutinizing late medieval travel reports by pilgrims from all over Europe along with extant historical, archaeological, visual, and material evidence, Sofia Zoitou traces the various forms of the Rhodian cultic sites’ evolution and perception, ultimately considered as an overall artistic strategy for the staging of the sacred.
