This book, a collection of articles from a conference in 2016 on Transformations of City and Countryside in the Byzantine Period, investigates the social dynamics behind changes in urban and rural life in the Byzantine period that can be detected by archaeology, history and art history.


The concept of transformation or simply reshaping contains the elements of what remains, the conservative, the kernel of what continues, as well as the elements of what changes, the innovative. In the framework of this publication of articles from a conference in 2016 on Transformations of City and Countryside in the Byzantine Period, we draw attention to this dichotomy and investigate the social dynamics behind changes in urban and rural life in the Byzantine period that can be detected by archaeology, history and art history.
