Recensies en Artikelen
"This volume’s express aim is to add to discussions of post-Roman leaderships, identities, and social cohesion, particularly in terms of cultural structures and institutions in Gaul and Iberia. The greatest contributions of this work are to diversify what is studied and how, with successful coverage of both Merovingians and Visigoths, in both Gaul and Iberia, offering readers useful insights for future comparative and de-centralising work."

Leadership, Social Cohesion, and Identity in Late Antique Spain and Gaul (500-700)
De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
The replacement of the Roman Empire in the West with emerging kingdoms like Visigothic Spain and Merovingian Gaul resulted in new societies, but without major population displacement. Societies changed because identities shifted and new points of cohesion formed under different leaders and leadership structures. This volume examines two kingdoms in the post-Roman west to understand how this process took shape. Though exhibiting striking continuities with the Roman past, Gaul and Spain emerged as distinctive, but not isolated, political entities that forged different strategies and drew upon different resources to strengthen their unity, shape social ties, and consolidate their political status.
