The flourishing Christian city, with its churches and elaborate mosaic pavements, was gradually replaced first by a succession of homesteads before the re-making of Butrint as a town around AD 1000. However, Byzantine authority was eventually extinguished in the face of the Venetians and their Frankish allies. This book presents a vivid new understanding of the remaking and social organisation of towns in the middle Byzantine period - a period that endured the end of the Roman world and the creation of a medieval Europe. <div class="emptyClear"> <br /><p>Call #: <a href=http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b7082087>DR998.B88 H64 2008</a></p></td></tr></table>http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b708208711/11/2009
