Before the Normans: Southern Italy in the Ninth and Tenth CenturiesHistories of medieval Europe have typically ignored southern Italy, looking south only in the Norman period.

This was a pan-Meditteranean society, where the Roman past and Lombard-Germanic culture met Byzantine and Islamic civilization, creating a rich and unusual mix. |
