A Scholarly Journey into Byzantine Cherson: Unearthing the Medieval Past
Dive deep into the history of Chersonesus Taurica with this comprehensive academic volume, focusing on the city’s life from the second half of the 6th century to the first half of the 10th century. Part of a monumental study, this work explores the political, social, economic, and cultural fabric of Cherson during its time within the Byzantine Empire.
The author re-examines long-held assumptions, proposing a new view of Taurica as a Byzantine-Khazar condominium, with Cherson as a loyal Roman center far from self-governance. The book investigates Byzantine ecclesiastical rites in the city’s daily life and refines its topography, offering fresh, sometimes unexpected interpretations of key monuments.
While a fundamental scientific work, the text remains engaging and accessible. It includes a valuable appendix with commented translations of rare primary sources, making this essential reading for historians, archaeologists, and anyone fascinated by the medieval history of Ukraine, Russia, and the enigmatic Khazar world.
