Immagini del tempo degli dei, immagini del tempo degli uomini - Un’analisi delle iconografie dei mesi nei calendari figurati romani e bizantini e del loro contest storico-culturale

Iconography found in Roman and Byzantine illustrated calendars can be divided into three themes: astrological-astronomical, festive-ritual and rural-seasonal. This volume presents an in-depth study of the connections between the meaning of the iconography of the illustrated calendars and their historical and cultural context.
