Vladari i patronat u kasnoantičkoj Raveni Tijekom kasne antike i ranoga srednjeg vijeka, carica Galla Placidija, carski časnici i vladari, kralj Teodorik i kasnije kraljica Amalasunta, kao i egzarhi, biskupi i svećenstvo, služili su se patronatom nad raznim monumentalnim građevinama te time isticali svoje političke ambicije, društveni položaj i ugled, između ostalog i u Raveni, i to od vremena kada je grad postao novom carskom prijestolnicom. U ovom se radu pokušalo ocrtati taj fenomen te se time nastojalo ukazati na spomenute uloge društvenih elita kao na opći trend, i to počevši od 4., pa sve do kraja 8. stoljeća, dakle do u karolinško doba.
During Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, empress Galla Placidia, imperial officers and rulers, king Theoderic and later Queen Amalasutha, such as Exarchs, bishops and the clergy used patronage of various monumental buildings to endorse their political ambitions, social positions, and prestige, also in Ravenna, when the city became the new Imperial See. In this paper I will try to define this phenomenon, where it has been shown the role played by private élites since the 4th century, but as a general and wide trend by the end of the 8th century, during the Carolingian Age.

Abstract
During Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, empress Galla Placidia, imperial officers and rulers, king Theoderic and later Queen Amalasutha, such as Exarchs, bishops and the clergy used patronage of various monumental buildings to endorse their political ambitions, social positions, and prestige, also in Ravenna, when the city became the new Imperial See. In this paper I will try to define this phenomenon, where it has been shown the role played by private élites since the 4th century, but as a general and wide trend by the end of the 8th century, during the Carolingian Age.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
