Revision:Pirenne and the Mediterranean

TSR Wiki > Study Help > Subjects and Revision > Revision Notes > History > Pirenne and the Mediterranean


  • Roman empire fundamentally a Mediterranean power – Augustlus saying go no further, but 14 CE not much more gained.


  • Pirenne: vital link between Eastern an Western parts. Islam causing crisis which disrupted flow of trade between the two – critically hurting the West. Moves back on economic and cultural resources – shifts centre of gravity northwards to central Europe and Rhine


  • Mediterranean very important – even name implies closeness and familiarity (mare nostrum).
