Yet, the importance of this battle is not only for its military victory, but it was also the cultural exchange that started happening between the Muslims and the Byzantines, introducing the Arabs to the Byzantine and Roman cities, which led the Muslims to get influenced by the Byzantine and Roman urban planning, therefore, creating their own cities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
