Challenging this view, James A. Palmer argues that Roman political culture underwent dramatic changes in the late Middle Ages, with profound and lasting implications for city's subsequent development. The Virtues of Economy examines the transformation of Rome's governing elites as a result of changes in the city's economic, political, and spiritual landscape.Palmer explores this shift through the history of Roman political society, its identity as an urban commune, and its once-and-future role as the spiritual capital of Latin Christendom. Tracing the contours of everyday Roman politics, The Virtues of Economy reframes the reestablishment of papal sovereignty in Rome as the product of synergy between papal ambitions and local political culture. More broadly, Palmer emphasizes Rome's distinct role in evolution of medieval Italy's city-communes. 410 0$aCornell scholarship online. 606 $aPolitical culture$zItaly$zRome$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aChristianity and politics$zItaly$zRome$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aPapacy$xHistory$y1309-1378 606 $aPapacy$xHistory$y1378-1447 607 $aRome (Italy)$xHistory$y476-1420 607 $aRome (Italy)$xPolitics and government 610 $aMedieval History, Renaissance History, religious History, documentary culture/practice, urban history. 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory 615 0$aChristianity and politics$xHistory 615 0$aPapacy$xHistory 615 0$aPapacy$xHistory 676 $a945.6/3205 700 $aPalmer$b James A., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$066662 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815535603321 996 $aThe Virtues of Economy$93930931 997 $aUNINA
