  • Summary

    Early medieval Zadar is the focus of this case study which explores the interaction between international and local factors which contributed to Zadar becoming a capital of a Byzantine province in the late eighth and the ninth century. The chapter examines the local impact of the renovation of Byzantine administration in that period and the relationship between this development and the local Church. Bishops of Zadar tried to use a favourable moment in such a political context to claim the title of archbishops. The study also looks at the interaction between Zadar and its hinterland, populated by Croats, and the new religious centres that served them. Zadar survived the collapse of post-Roman Dalmatia and this Late Antique civitas became an early medieval provincia loosely dependent on the imperial administrative system.

  • Summary

    The seventy years before 900 were an era of disorder and continued crisis in southern Italy. The government of the principality of Benevento, which ruled over most of the south of the peninsula, was riven by succession disputes which led to the formal partition of the principality in 849. Thus, from c. 900 onwards the political structures of southern Italy remained, at least outwardly, more or less in equilibrium. Indeed in 956, when the government in Constantinople was able to release sufficient troops for a major expedition to Italy, the first target of that offensive was apparently Naples. The ecclesiastical changes after 970 were part of a more general overhaul of the administrative structure of Byzantine Italy. The expansion of the Greek population of Calabria into the heel of Italy led to administrative changes both lay and ecclesiastical. The year 982 saw the catastrophic eclipse of Ottonian influence in the south.
