Why do its monuments speak an aesthetic of the medieval East? And just how do we quantify that Byzantine aesthetic or even the word \"Byzantine\"?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book seeks to consider the ways in which the artistic styles and iconographies generally associated with the eastern medieval tradition had a life in the West and, in many cases, were just as western as they were eastern. Rome's medieval monuments are a fundamental part of the history of the East, a history that says more about a cross- cultural exchange and interconnected \"Romes\" than difference and separation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach chapter follows the political and theological relationships between the East and the West chronologically, exploring the socio-political exchanges as they manifest in the visual language of the monuments that defined the medieval landscape of Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnie Montgomery Labatt=======================Annie Labatt is Assistant Prof. of Medieval Art at the University of Texas, San Antonio.
