| Abstract | As one of the leading scholars of Byzantine Italy, Tom Brown has contributed a great deal to understanding of the Exarchate of Ravenna and its role in the early medieval world. At the same time, he has also had a significant role in raising awareness of the period and its broader connections as an author, editor, academic, and founder of Early Medieval Europe. In these two sessions, the work and contributions of Tom Brown will be highlighted with papers from both colleagues and those he has helped to inspire on topics related to his work. |
