Their bold interpretations offer many stimulating ideas for rethinking the entire history of the Mediterranean during the period. An international team of historians and archaeologists examines trade, administration and cultural exchange between the Adriatic and Byzantium but also within the region itself, and makes more widely known much previously scattered and localised research and the results of archaeological excavations in both Italy and Croatia. The period also saw the rise of Venice and it is important to understand the conditions which would lead to her dominance in the Late Middle Ages.
