Byzantium & Eastern Europe
Theocharis Grigoriadis, Johannes Niehoff
Kommentar
This course constitutes a fascinating intersection between social sciences and humanities by focusing on one of the most influential imperial economies of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, the Byzantine Empire. With its capital in New Rome/Constantinople, the Eastern part of the Roman Empire developed extensive economic and political relations with tribes and state formations in Southeastern and East-Central Europe as well as the Black Sea, which were often defined by conflict, trade, and religion. The first part of the course focuses on the modeling of the Byzantine economy and foreign policy based on archival sources and secondary literature as well as on modern tools of economic theory. In the second part of the course, we explore Byzantine foreign relations with Bulgarians, Serbs, Romanians, Rus’, Georgians, and Armenians, while debating the logic of the Byzantine Commonwealth and its persistence. The third part of the course concentrates on the transition period of the early Ottoman Empire and discusses patterns of succession and discontinuity between the two imperial systems. Schließen
