By compiling a relational database of patronage (both ecclesiastical and secular) in Rome from the mid-fifth to the mid-ninth centuries, the project seeks to make visible the social basis of the much-discussed process of 'Christianization.' The goal of the database is to make possible new kinds of comparative work through the 'levelling' effect of entering data from sources and periods not usually considered together. It also aims at making some of the sources (narrative sources, inscriptions, charters) directly available to users.<br> <br> <br> <br></h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>The database covers patronage transactions in the city of Rome (including the suburban basilicas) from the mid-fifth to the mid-ninth centuries. The database includes different sources for patronage such as narrative sources, inscriptions, charters and letters. Due to the broad variety of source types, a relational database model was employed where several aspects of patronage such as the birth place of donors, the places where a transaction has been issued and the location of particular objects are related to this sources.<br> <br></h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'> Time Period Covered:</i> 440 - 840 <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> 01 September 1999 - 31 December 2002 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> Italy <br><i class='myclass'>Geography: </i> Rome <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> no spatial units <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Text units (documents/chapters/words) <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Textual data; Numeric data; Alpha/numeric data </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> Subnational <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Patronage transaction in the city of Rome and suburban basilicas </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Cross-sectional (one-time) study <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> No sampling (total universe) <br><i class='myclass'>Method of Data Collection: </i> Transcription of existing materials <br><i class='myclass'>Data Sources: </i> Please refer to study documentation </h5><h3>Language(s) of Written Materials: </h3> <h5>Study Description: English, Latin<br>Study Documentation: English<br></h5> <h3>Access: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Access Conditions: </i> The depositor has specified that registration is required and standard conditions of use apply.
