Framing the Early Middle Ages
The Roman empire tends to be seen as a whole whereas the early middle ages tends to be seen as a collection of regional histories, roughly corresponding to the land-areas of modern nation states. As a result, early medieval history is much more fragmented, and there have been few convincing syntheses of socio-economic change in the post-Roman world since the 1930s. In recent decades, the rise of early medieval archaeology has also transformed our source-base, but this has not been adequately integrated into analyses of documentary history in almost any country. In Framing the Early Middle Ages Chris Wickham combines documentary and archaeological evidence to create a comparative history of t...

Changing Lands in Changing Memories. Migration and Identity during the Lombard Invasion (Premio Ottone d'Assia 2002)
I cimiteri longobardi utilizzati come fonti preziose di informazione sul passato, e in particolare sull’uso simbolico della cultura materiale. Alla luce delle più recenti teorie sull’archeologia funeraria e dell’etnicità, l’autrice indaga nel dettaglio alcuni contesti funerari di ambito longobardo in Ungheria (Hagiko, Szentendte, Tamasi) e nel Friuli (Cividale, Liariis, Romans d’Isonzo), dove i Longobardi migrarono nel 568. I risultati dell’indagine permettono di avanzare interessanti ipotesi sull’evoluzione delle pratiche funerarie e sul loro significato ideologico e sociale.

From Constantine to Charlemagne
This book offers an overview of the archaeological and structural evidence for one of the most vital periods of Italian history, spanning the late Roman and early medieval periods. The chronological scope covers the adoption of Christianity and the emergence of Rome as the seat of Western Christendom, the break-up of the Roman west in the face of internal decay and the settlement of non-Romans and Germanic groups, the impact of Germanic and Byzantine rule on Italy until the rise of Charlemagne and of a Papal State in the later eighth century. Presenting a detailed review and analysis of recent discoveries by archaeologists, historians, art historians, numismatists and architectural historian...
After Empire
The decline of the Roman Empire encouraged the spread westwards of tribes from eastern Europe, settling areas from which native people had been cleared by the spread of the power of Rome. The studies here focus on the customs of these barbarian peoples.
