Summary
Over almost five decades of exploration of the material culture of ninth-century Rome I have been exceptionally fortunate to have benefited from the wisdom and insights of many knowledgeable and accomplished friends and scholars, including Fabio Barry, Sible de Blaauw, Claudia Bolgia, Giulia Bordi, Leonard Boyle, Tom Brown, Leslie Brubaker, David Buckton, Robert Coates-Stephens, Robin Cormack, Caecilia Davis-Weyer, Giulio Del Buono, Judson Emerick, Julian Gardner, Manuela Gianandrea, Federico Guidobaldi, Alessandra Guiglia Guidobaldi, Ingo Herklotz, Richard Hodges, Lesley Jessop, Dale Kinney, Richard Krautheimer, Gillian Mackie, Dominic Marner, Maya Maskarinec, Charles McClendon, Rosamond McKitterick, John Mitchell, Valentino Pace, Serena Romano, Erik Thunø, Carmela Vircillo Franklin, Vera von Falkenhausen and David Whitehouse. I have profited enormously from those conversations, many of them undertaken in front of the monuments in question.
