Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of the cities of Romagna and the Marches, two provinces in central Italy that were formed in the 6th century during the fall of the Roman Empire and the subsequent Lombard invasion. The author explores the history of these provinces, from their founding to the present day, with a focus on the period of the Middle Ages. The book is well-written and informative, and it provides a comprehensive overview of the history and culture of this fascinating region. From the ruins of the Roman Empire, two small states arose in central Italy, Romagna and the Marches. Ravenna, a marshy coastal city, became their capital. What made this location so important? Edward Hutton, explores this question and more, explaining how Ravenna's unique geographical position, nestled between the Cisalpine plain and the Adriatic Sea, gave it great strategic importance. The author provides historical context illuminating the primary role that Ravenna played throughout pivotal moments in European history. We witness Ravenna serve as the headquarters of Julius Ceasar, the imperial capital of the Western Roman Empire under Honorius, and later the capital of the Byzantine Exarchate of Ravenna. Hutton expertly guides us through these periods, introducing us to the key players and events that shaped the region, including the Gothic Wars, the Lombard invasion, and the rise of the Papacy. The book is well researched and full of interesting details, bringing to life the rich tapestry of this crossroads of civilizations. This book offers a fascinating account of a lesser-known region of Italy, shedding light on its historical significance and cultural heritage. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in medieval history, Italian culture, or the development of Europe.
