The Mediterranean in the Didactis of History. Some Considerations on the Past and Comments on the Present

Abstract

Fernand Braudel called it a “liquid continent, a landscape of a thousand landscapes” which, both in the present and in the past, has seen and continues to see an interweaving of relationships, encounters, events and upheavals that have characterized the over thirty years of its history. A period which we can speak of unification of the Mediterranean that lasted just three centuries during Roman-imperial era.
