The missing century: Palestine in the Fifth Century: Growth and Decline: 9 (Palaestina antiqua, 9) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Byzantine period is one of the less known periods in the history of Palestine. On the one hand, there is a wealth of archaeological evidence, albeit not in a final form; while, on the other hand, there are few historical sources. There is evidence of prosperity, but also testimonies of economic and demographic deterioration. The book offers a comprehensive historical framework describing the period, based on all the available material.

The book makes use of a new methodological tool: quantitative numismatic data
