Abstract

This study of the Visigothic kingdom monetary system in southern Gaul and Hispania from the fifth century through the Muslim invasion of Spain fills a major gap in the scholarship of late antiquity. Examining all aspects of the making of currency, it sets minting in relation to questions of state - monarchical power, administration and apparatus, motives for money production - and economy. In the context of the later Roman Empire and its successor states in the west, the minting and currency of the Visigoths reveal shared patterns as well as originality. The analysis brings both economic life and the needs of the state into sharper focus, with significant implications for the study of an essential element in daily life and government. This study combines an appreciation for the surprising level of sophistication in the Visigothic minting system with an accessible approach to a subject which can seem complex and abstruse.

Abstract

The bibliography includes material published from 1984 to 2003. The historical chronology has been expanded to include the fourth century. This includes unlike the first one Iberian Fathers such as Gregory of Elvira, Potamius of Lisboa, Prudentius, and Pacian of Barcelona. As with the first bibliography (Brill, 1988) among the many topics represented are: Archaeology, Liturgy, Monasticism, Iberian-Gallic Patristics, Paleography, Linguistics, Germanic and Muslim Invasions, and more. In addition, peoples such as the Vandals, Sueves, Basques, Alans and Byzantines are included. The book contains author and subject indexes and is extensively cross-indexed for easy consultation. A periodicals index of hundreds of journals accompanies the volume. This collection of nearly 8,000 entries is an attempt to bring up-to-date the scholarship on Iberia and Gaul in Late Antiquity.

Abstract

Le royaume de Tolède, l’un des grands royaumes chrétiens formés après la fin de l’Empire romain d’Occident, naît dans un cadre profondément romanisé, la Péninsule ibérique et la Narbonnaise. En s’implantant en Hispanie à la chute du royaume de Toulouse, l’élite visigothique devait affirmer sa domination politique sur un territoire nouveau. Sa maîtrise de l’espace s’appuya largement sur les structures préexistantes, qu’elle revitalisa, sur la création d’agents territoriaux spécifiques et sur le recours à la collaboration des puissants laïcs et des évêques. La désagrégation politique souvent décrite pour cette période paraît largement infondée, à l’exception du nord-est du royaume, plusieurs fois soulevé par des troubles séparatistes. De fait, les séditions provenaient le plus souvent du centre lui-même, de l’entourage royal. C’est aussi autour du centre que toute la construction politique visigothique était organisée, à la fois matériellement (on observe un important mouvement de centralisation au milieu du viie siècle) et symboliquement, avec la montée progressive de Tolède, véritable « petite Rome ». À l’abri de frontières conçues comme hermétiques, le royaume s’identifiait à un sanctuaire, seul lieu où, sous la responsabilité de leur roi, tous les sujets hispanogothiques pouvaient parvenir au salut dans ce monde et dans l’autre. Ainsi, sans sacrifier son efficacité au niveau administratif, la construction politique visigothique s’est aussi présentée comme un instrument de rédemption ici-bas, plusieurs décennies avant l’Empire carolingien.

Abstract

This volume is dedicated to eliciting the interactions between localities across late antique and early medieval Europe and the wider Mediterranean. Significant research has been done in recent years to explore how late “Roman” and post-“Roman” cities, towns and other localities communicated vis-à-vis larger structural phenomena, such as provinces, empires, kingdoms, institutions and so on. This research has contributed considerably to our understanding of the place of the city in its context, but tends to portray the city as a necessarily subordinate conduit within larger structures, rather than an entity in itself, or as a hermeneutical object of enquiry. Consequently, not enough research has been committed to examining how local people and communities thought about, engaged with, and struggled against nearby or distant urban neighbors.Urban Interactions addresses this lacuna in urban history by presenting articles that apply a diverse spectrum of approaches, from archaeological investigation to critical analyses of historiographical and historical biases and developmental consideration of antagonisms between ecclesiastical centers. Through these avenues of investigation, this volume elucidates the relationship between the urban centers and their immediate hinterlands and neighboring cities with which they might vie or collaborate. This entanglement and competition, whether subterraneous or explicit across overarching political, religious or other macro categories, is evaluated through a broad geographical range of late “Roman” provinces and post-“Roman” states to maintain an expansive perspective of developmental trends within and about the city.

Abstract

This book presents a study of three famous usurpations of the Visigothic period: the uprising of Prince Hermenegild (579-585); the rebellion of Duke Argimundo at the beginning of the reign of Recaredo; and Duke Theudemirus and the role he played in the transmission of power between Visigoths and Arabs after the fall of the kingdom of Toledo.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage analyse le rôle médiateur de l’Espagne dans et pour l’Europe occidentale, à partir du royaume wisigoth de Tolède. Autrement dit, depuis la civilisation originale de l’Espagne entre 589, année du IVe Concile de Tolède qui voit la conversion de tout le peuple wisigoth au catholicisme, jusqu’à la chute brutale du royaume sous les coups de l’invasion islamique. Paradoxalement, cet écroulement aura servi le rayonnement européen des hommes d’Espagne, de leur idéologie, de leurs institutions, de leurs manuscrits et donc de leurs œuvres littéraires, à travers tout l’espace culturel européen, dans une dispersion féconde de l’héritage de cette Espagne wisigothique dont l’influence n’a cessé de s’exercer sur la genèse de la culture médiévale et moderne à travers l’Europe.
