The aim of these terms was to exclude the eastern empire from important discussions and historical developments.It is time to end this exercise in orientalist fiction, but what are the alternatives? In this book, Anthony Kaldellis surveys the pros and cons of a range of possible options and examines the implications of a field name-change also for art history, philology, and the study of Eastern Orthodoxy. The new name he proposes will carry the field into the next phase of its history, renegotiate its relationships with its peers and respect the testimony of our sources.Past Imperfect SeriesHISTORY / MedievalbisacshByzantine EmpireStudy and teachingEmpire byzantinÉtude et enseignementByzantine empire.Byzantium.Medieval Romans.medieval Mediterranean.HISTORY / Medieval.949.502072Kaldellis Anthony293067MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911009243603321The Case for East Roman Studies4396073UNINA
