Description

Explore the profound religious and cultural history of Constantinople through this scholarly collection. During its peak, the city was famous for its massive collection of relics, ranging from bones and whole bodies to the personal possessions of holy men and women. These sacred objects were brought from across the Roman Empire between the 4th and 10th centuries. This book examines why these items were so highly valued. Believed to possess miraculous powers, relics were used to heal the sick, ward off enemies, and protect the capital. They served as a foundation for the city's identity as the 'God-guarded' (Theophylaktos) city. As part of the Variorum Collected Studies series, this work provides a deep look into the means by which relics functioned within Byzantine society. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the intersection of faith, politics, and the material culture of the Byzantine Empire.
