The collection of texts in this volume, the result of a homonymous series of lectures, aims to explore the role of humble everyday objects in the lives of Byzantines, as they constitute, among other things, indicators of economic and social stratifications and behaviors. The book is structured in three sections. In the first, the objects are examined in connection with their archaeological environment, while excavation and surface research are highlighted. The second section focuses on the objects themselves and their representative categories based on material (clay, metal) or their use (reading, clothing, blessings). In the last section, the written sources of the Byzantine era are approached with the aim of extracting information about artistic works and generally about everyday habits, with reference to different social groups. Through the triptych: objects - space - texts, the first are combined with the rest, aiming to present the different approaches to them and the need for interdisciplinary research. The book does not aim to exhaust the subject and present exhaustively all the different categories of objects. However, through the study of specific cases, it aims to highlight that these materials are important sources of information for history, as well as a central driving force in the ever-increasing interest of the modern scientific community in the study of Byzantine material culture.
