| description | <p style="text-align:justify;"> As the two main Byzantine heirs in northern and central Italy, Ravenna and Venice had continuing links with one another between 750 and 1000 1 . Th is paper does not intend to trace the links between the two cities, but to see how each city developed after the end of the Exarchate in 751. I want to examine in what way the archbishop and the doge displayed their power in the city, and see if it was diff erent between the two cities. I should like to focus on a few key factors, which are, respectively, the role of the patron saint in the city; the building and restoration of the urban fabric; the involvement of the families of the two rulers and that of the aristocratic factions, their wealth and infl uence; and the rulers’ control over ecclesiastical appointments and over monasteries, as well as their links with external powers, especially the papacy and the western empire. </p> |
