This volume examines the evolving role of the city and citizenship from classical Athens through fifth-century Rome and medieval Byzantium. An international team of scholars considers the extent of urban transformation, and with it, of cultural and civic identity, as practices and institutions associated with the city-state came to be replaced by those of the Christian community.
