Reviews

This work will stand the test of time and remain a significant and valuable work which acts as a fitting homage to the profoundly important work of Chris Wickham. * Christopher Heath, Manchester Metropolitan University, Al-Masaq of the Balzaretti et al. edited volume of Italy and Early Medieval Europe. * This sizeable volume is a very worthy collection to honour the impact of Prefessor Chris Wickhamthere's something here for everyone, and certainly much to stimulate the Wickham tastebuds! * Neil Christie, University of Leicester, The Society for Medieval Archaeology *
