On the contrary, much less attention has been paid on labour - both manual and intellectual - as well as the structure of production and objects derived from manufacturing activities, despite the fact that Ravenna is the place which preserves the highest number of historical evidence among all centres of the late Roman Mediterranean. Its cultural heritage is vast and composite, ranging from papyri to inscriptions, from ivories to marbles, as well as luxury objects, pottery, and coins. Starting from concrete typologies of hand-manufactured goods existing in the Ravennate milieu, the book aims at exploring the multifaceted traditions of late antique and early Byzantine handicraft from the fourth to the eighth century AD. Its perspective is to pay attention more on patronage, social taste, acculturation, workers and the economic industry of production which supported the demand, circulation and distribution of artefacts, than on the artistic evaluation of the objects themselves. 410 0$aMillennium-Studien. 517 $aRavenna and the Traditions of Late Antique and Early Byzantine Craftsmanship 606 $aArchitecture 615 0$aArchitecture. 676 $a720 700 $aCosentino$b Salvatore$0258480 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910512196503321 996 $aRavenna and the Traditions of Late Antique and Early Byzantine Craftsmanship$93363298 997 $aUNINA
