From the fourth century onwards it suffered decline in economic terms. Yet its geographical position, its status as an imperial capital, and above all its role as a connecting point between East and West, ensured that it remained an intermittent attraction for early medieval kings and emperors throughout the period from the late fifth to the eleventh century. Ravenna’s story is all the more interesting because it was complicated and unpredictable: discontinuous and continuous, sometimes obscure, sometimes including bursts of energetic activity. Throughout the early medieval centuries its flame sometimes flared, sometimes flickered, but never went out.</p> 01 00 03 02 https://books.uolpress.co.uk/10.14296/917.9781909646728_frontcover.jpg University of London Press 01 University of London Press London, GB 04 19 2017 06 15 9781909646148 06 15 9781909646728 06 15 9781909646339 09 University of London Press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://uolpress.co.uk/book/ravenna/ 99 04 09 University of London Press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.uolpress.co.uk/10.14296/917.9781909646728.pdf 99 04
