| Summary: | How was the structure of the Italian church influenced by the political transformations and wars during the first centuries after the end of the Western Roman polity (5th-8th centuries) that took place at the Apennin Peninsula? The article focusses on the Italian bishops of this period by analysing the preserved attendance lists and subscription lists of the Italian councils. Although the reasons why an individual bishop participated in a council can only rarely be reconstructed, and the lists at times do not allow to identify the bishops and their sees unambiguously, it is nonetheless possible to recognize significant spatial patterns in a long-term perspective. The analysis shows that contemporary political and ecclesiastical configurations are only minor factors for the question which bishops attended the councils of that period. Instead, the geographical position of the bishoprics within an area that can be described as the core of the Roman Republic since the 3rd century BCE, has proven to be decisive. One of the reasons for this is most probably the well established system of Roman roads which was obviously still working in post-Roman Italy. |
