"The modern city of Durrës, Albania's second largest city, is built on the remains of the ancient one, known as Epidamnos or Dyrrachion, transformed into Dyrrachium in Roman period, dates from the seventh century B.C. It was the most strategic city on the Adriatic Sea and a major port of Illyria for Italy, whence a branch of the Via Egnatia runs past (technically bypasses) Salonica to Constantinople subsequently to link New with Old Rome. Dyrrachium was the most strategic city in Adriatic Coast, a seafaring city-state and thrived on commerce, one of two principles [sic] gates of Christian diffusion in Balkans (the other was Salona). As part of East Illyricum and Macedonian Diocese, Dyrrachium was the capital of the province of Epirus Nova, part of the eastern Empire, when Theodosius divided Roman Empire in two parts. Archaeological material, such as the villa with Orpheus mosaic, the Early Christian and Medieval chapels at the amphitheater, St. Michael Basilica in Arapaj, the Byzantine Round Forum, the Byzantine walls, the sewerage system, is a good base for reconstructing the image of the city during Early Christian and Byzantine period. Interesting mosaics, marble architectural fragments, mostly Proconnesian imports, and engraved inscriptions bear witnes[s] of the artistic, economic and architectural development of the city during this period"--Back cover

Klappentext: Aunque la potencia del nacionalismo y el tradicionalismo en el País Vasco ha opacado históricamente su presencia, también hubo una tradición foral del progresismo que se transmitió al republicanismo, al federalismo y al socialismo. Costumbre democrática es un sintagma utilizado para definir lo que este tronco ideológico entendió como rescatable de la tradición foral vasca. A diferencia de moderados, conservadores y nacionalistas, esta línea ideológica vio en los fueros las trazas del gobierno representativo, las libertades civiles y la democracia, una forma de inventar la tradición con resultados y propuestas ideológicas contrarias a las habitualmente asociadas con la tradición foral vasca.
