Yet Southern Italy in the ninth and tenth centuries was a complex and vibrant world that deserves to be better understood. In \u003ci\u003eBefore the Normans\u003c\/i\u003e, Barbara M. Kreutz writes the first modern study in English of the land, political structures, and cultures of southern Italy in the two centuries before the Norman conquests. This was a pan-Meditteranean society, where the Roman past and Lombard-Germanic culture met Byzantine and Islamic civilization, creating a rich and unusual mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52676617699608,"sku":"9780812215878","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/before-the-normans-southern-italy-in-the-ninth-and-tenth-centuries-paperback-softback-9780812215878","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
