A Companion to Sardinian History, 500–1500
The first English-language survey of medieval and modern Sardinia, this volume offers access to long-awaited European scholarship on a critical missing link in the Mediterranean. Based on new archaeological fieldwork and current research from a variety of academic perspectives— architecture, colonialism, ecclesiastic history, cartography, demography, law, musicology, politics, trade, and urban planning—the authors provide the foundation to incorporate Sardinia into a broader European history. Among other contributions, archaeology adds critical insight into the relationship between Christian, Muslim, and Jewish inhabitants of Sardinia, through examinations of urban and rural settlement patterns. This volume aims to stimulate further analysis of the critical role Sardinia has played as one of the largest and most strategically located islands in the Mediterranean. Contributors are Laura Biccone, Nathalie Bouloux, Henri Bresc, Marco Cadinu, Roberto Coroneo, Laura Galoppini, Henrike Haug, Michelle Hobart, Rossana Martorelli, Giampaolo Mele, Marco Milanese, Giovanni Murgia, Gian Giacomo Ortu, Daniela Rovina, Olivetta Schena, Cecilia Tasca, Raimondo Turtas, and Corrado Zedda.
The Rome of Pope Paschal I
A exploration of Paschal I's building campaign that illuminates the relationship between the material world and political power in medieval Rome.
Medieval Rome
Medieval Rome analyses the history of the city of Rome between 900 and 1150, a period of major change in the city. This volume doesn't merely seek to tell the story of the city from the traditional Church standpoint; instead, it engages in studies of the city's processions, material culture,legal transformations, and sense of the past, seeking to unravel the complexities of Roman cultural identity, including its urban economy, social history as seen across the different strata of society, and the articulation between the city's regions.This new approach serves to underpin a major reinterpretation of Rome's political history in the era of the "reform papacy", one of the greatest crises in Rome's history, which had a resonance across the entire continent. Medieval Rome is the most systematic analysis ever made of two and a halfcenturies of Rome's history, one which saw centuries of stability undermined by external crisis and the long period of reconstruction which followed.
Pope Alexander III (1159–81)
Alexander III was one of the most important popes of the Middle Ages and his papacy (1159-81) marked a significant watershed in the history of the Western Church and society. This book provides a long overdue reassessment of his papacy and his achievements, bringing together thirteen essays which review existing scholarship and present the latest research and new perspectives. Individual chapters cover topics such as Alexander's many contributions to the law of the Church, which had a major impact upon Western society, notably on marriage, his relations with Byzantium, and the extension of papal authority at the peripheries of the West, in Spain, Northern Europe and the Holy Land. But dominant are the major clashes between secular and spiritual authority: the confrontation between Henry II of England and Thomas Becket after which Alexander eventually secured the king's co-operation and the pope's eighteen-year conflict with the German emperor, Frederick I. Both the papacy and the Western Church emerged as stronger institutions from this struggle, largely owing to Alexander's leadership and resilience: he truly mastered the art of survival.

Le Terme Pubbliche nell’Italia Romana (II secolo a.C. – fine IV d.C.)
Le terme ad uso pubblico sono un rinvenimento tra i più comuni nell’areale del mondo romano: diffuse nell’intero bacino del Mediterraneo, sono da considerarsi come una delle manifestazioni più evidenti della “romanizzazione”, vale a dire della capillare e sistematica diffusione dei valori culturali e delle regole sociali che i Romani attuarono in tutti i territori conquistati. Studi recenti hanno cercato di approfondire la conoscenza degli ambiti regionali in molte provincie, come Spagna, Gallia e Africa settentrionale. In Italia, i dati circa i rinvenimenti non sono stati mai raccolti in modo sistematico e sono mancate da lungo tempo occasioni di incontro per discutere su questo t...

Il Tuscolo
Con prefazione di Antonio Paolucci A soli 30 chilometri a sud est di Roma esiste un luogo affascinante, il colle del Tuscolo, dove natura, storia e mito si sovrappongono e si confondono, in un'unica stupenda cornice. Qui si trovano i resti archeologici di Tusculum, una delle più antiche città laziali, che nell'arco di circa 1500 anni fu a lungo rivale della stessa Roma, per il controllo della Valle Latina, e che, all'apice dello splendore e della potenza della sua famiglia più illustre, i Conti di Tuscolo, arrivò anche a dominarla, imponendole pontefici ed alti magistrati. Con la sua distruzione, nel 1191, ad opera dei Romani, Tusculum fu sottratta alla storia e se ne persero addirittura...
