dc.description.abstractByzantine sigillography is an interdisciplinary field of study that examines seals once affixed to official documents within the Eastern Roman Empire and its provinces, including Italy during the so-called Exarchal period (584-751 AD). These objects offer valuable insights into various aspects of Late Antique and Medieval Mediterranean history and culture, including language (Greek and Latin), palaeography, administrative history, onomastics and prosopography, religious history, and iconography. Most scholarly editions of Byzantine seals remain in print format, often scattered into journals and miscellaneous volumes, while editions of comprehensive corpora are still limited. This project aims to conduct a systematic study and compilation of the Byzantine sigillographic heritage from the late sixth to the first half of the eighth century, focusing on material discovered in Italy or preserved in Italian museum collections. A key objective is the digitization of these objects, accompanied by the creation of metadata in accordance with the SigiDoc standard for Byzantine seals. Developed over the past decade by researchers in Paris and Cologne, SigiDoc is poised to play a crucial role in enhancing the accessibility and analysis of this rich cultural heritage. By employing SigiDoc, the project aligns with the principles of accessibility, interoperability, and reusability as defined by Digital Humanities (DH) standards. This research is supported by the CHANGES partnership, which seeks to "Cultivate Cultural Heritage Active Innovation for Next-Generation Sustainable Society.en_US
