Byzantium: New Insights into Marginalized Groups
The dominant impression we have of the Byzantine Empire is that it was a rigid, traditional and luxurious culture. A project on marginalization funded by the FWF now shows there were also phases of tolerance towards marginalized groups. This throws a new light on the historical development of this culture in terms of social aspects and mindset.
