Due Antiche Diocesi dello Stretto di Messina: Insediamento, Manufatti, Infrastrutture e Produzione Nell'eparchia Delle Saline e nelle Isole Eolie Tra Tardoantico e Alto Medioevo

2017 | History & Politics

This monograph is a comparative study of the Saline area and of the Aeolian Islands dioceses' settlement in Late Antiquity and in the Early Middle ages. Both regions overlook the Straits of Messina, between Calabria and Sicily. The Saline area is located in Southern Tyrrhenian Calabria, and in the Middle Ages it is mentioned as an "Eparchy", a Byzantine administrative division. The Aeolian archipelago is in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the North-Eastern coast of Sicily. It includes seven islands, the biggest of which is Lipari. The aim of the book is to reconstruct the settlement layout of these areas in an historical period that has been studied relatively little in Southern Italy. The settlement reconstruction was carried out by examining topographical features, patterns and dynamics, material culture, degree of continuity and discontinuity - especially compared to the Roman habitat - as well as agricultural and manufacturing systems and the road network.
