This comparative study addressing five urban centers argues that the multivalence of spolia and their openness to new interpretations made them the ideal visual form to define a distinct Mediterranean identity for the inhabitants of these cities, celebrating the wealth and prestige that resulted from the paired endeavors of war and commerce while referencing the cultures across the sea that inspired the greatest hostility, fear, or admiration. 410 0$aMedieval Mediterranean ;$vVolume 112. 606 $aMonuments$zItaly$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aAppropriation (Architecture)$zItaly$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aBuilding materials$xRecycling$zItaly$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aArchitecture and society$zItaly$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCity-states$zItaly$xCivilization 607 $aItaly$xCivilization$y476-1268 615 0$aMonuments$xHistory 615 0$aAppropriation (Architecture)$xHistory 615 0$aBuilding materials$xRecycling$xHistory 615 0$aArchitecture and society$xHistory 615 0$aCity-states$xCivilization. 676 $a720.94509021 700 $aMathews$b Karen R.$01549206 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796620303321 996 $aConflict, commerce, and an aesthetic of appropriation in the Italian maritime cities, 1000-1150$93806987 997 $aUNINA
