Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Mobility and migration are constant features in the history of the Byzantine Empire. Individuals moved from the provinces to the capital in search of better work; religious and ethnic groups moved in and out of the empire, either of their own volition or under pressure; emperors pursued a policy of forced migration to foster their political interests.
It is only in recent years that these issues are attracting the attention of scholars.
This lecture will explore mobility and migration as a historical phenomenon, while at the same time offering an in-depth analysis of its literary representation in various types of the Byzantine written record.
