About This Item
Boydell Press. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0851154794 . Mild foxing to textblock. Spotting to boards. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; Studies in Historical Archaeoethnology 2; 9.5 X 6.7 X 1.6 inches; 488 pages; Between 376 and 476 the Roman Empire in western Europe was dismantled by aggressive outsiders, `barbarians' as the Romans labelled them. Chief among these were the Visigoths, a new force of previously separate Gothic and other groups from south-west France, initially settled by the Romans but subsequently, from the middle of the fifth century, achieving total independence from the failing Roman Empire, and extending their power from the Loire to the Straits of Gibraltar. These studies draw on literary and archaeological evidence to address important questions thrown up by the history of the Visigoths and of the kingdom they generated: the historical processes which led to their initial creation; the emergence of the Visigothic kingdom in the fifth century; and the government, society, culture and economy of the `mature' kingdom of the sixth and seventh centuries. A valuable feature of the collection, reflecting the switch of the centre of the Visigothic kingdom from France to Spain from the beginning of the sixth century, is the inclusion, in English, of current Spanish scholarship.

Díaz, Mayke De Jong, Gisela Ripoll López, Andreas Schwarcz. .
