Ravenna: Capital of Empire, Crucible of Europe by Judith Herrin

5.0

A very enjoyable, readable and informative history of Ravenna. Well researched and put together with a lot of scope and information.

I knew very little about Ravenna going into the book and it certainly inspired me to learn more about Europe at that time along with Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire.

I own some of the authors other works but have not read them yet but this book has encouraged me to do so.

Highly recommended and you can judge a book by its cover.

Hope to visit Ravenna one day and enjoy visiting the places I have read about in this book.
