"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."
