The Imperial City of Cologne

From Roman Colony to Medieval Metropolis (19 B.C.–1125 A.D.)

The Imperial City of Cologne: From Roman Colony to Medieval Metropolis (19 B.C.–1125 A.D.) is an urban history of Cologne from its imperial Roman origins as a northeastern frontier military outpost to a medieval metropolis on the German Empire's northwestern border. This first history of Cologne, available in English, challenges received notions of late Roman ethnic identities, a Dark Age collapse of urban life, devastating Viking and Magyar incursions, and the origins of medieval urban government.
