Abstract

The Maltese micro-region played an interesting role in the context of the Byzantine commonwealth, quite out of proportion to its size and to its remote geographical setting. The surviving written sources referring to Byzantine Malta provide some insight into the character and development of Byzantine society and settlement between the 6th and the 9th Century. In particular they provide information on the political and military classes that ruled the islands in these centuries, and on their relationships with widespread centres of power, from Sicily to North Africa, from Rome to Constantinople. Byzantine Malta would have naturally tended to rely on the resources that could be obtained from the sea and from navigation. Archaeological investigations have furthermore highlighted the importance of long-distance trade for Byzantine Malta. Recent work has also started investigating the varying relationships that bound the urban centres with the rural settlements over the three and half centuries of Byzantine rule over the islands. The sum of the evidence suggests that Byzantine Malta was a territory which was well integrated with events in neighbouring regions, but which was also capable of individualistic social and economic developments.
