Subject:

Description:

The visual culture of the Mediterranean region in Late Antiquity (ca. 200 – 400) is explored, charting the transformation of the Roman world into an eastern Mediterranean empire which we call Byzantium, and continuing up to the conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul) in 1453. Special attention is given to the social and religious functions of images and architecture, and to typical settings in which these visual tools were deployed, for example the imperial state, monasticism, and the church.
