Synopsis
The earthly empire of Byzantium--Christian in religion and Hellenic in culture--dominated the political and religious history of Europe for over a thousand years. The Byzantines regarded their earthly empire as a reflection of God's empire in heaven, and this ideology was manifested in their politics, religion, and art. In this introduction to the history of Byzantium, from the fourth to the fourteenth century, Rowena Loverance draws on the British Museum's rich collections of spectacular Byzantine silver, ivories, jewelry, and icons, as well as pieces from the empire's Persian and Germanic neighbors.

About the Author
Rowena Loverance is Head of the Education Service of the British Museum. She is also coeditor of the Bulletin of British Byzantine Studies.
Review
Loverance does an excellent job...offering a clear and intriguing introduction to art and architecture. Many of the works of art she discusses have seldom been reproduced...The book therefore has something to offer both to the reader who knows something of Byzantine art and history, and to the curious novice.
