Aristocrats and Statehood in Western Iberia, 300-600 C.E.
In a distant corner of the late antique world, along the Atlantic river valleys of western Iberia, local elite populations lived through the ebb and flow of empire and kingdoms as historical agents with their own social strategies. Contrary to earlier historiographical accounts, these aristocrats were not oppressed by a centralized Roman empire or its successor kingdoms; nor was there an inherent conflict between central states and local elites. Instead, Damián Fernández argues, there was an interdependency of state and local aristocracies. The upper classes embraced state projects to assert their ascendancy within their communities. By doing so, they enacted statehood at the local level, ...

Late Roman Spain and Its Cities
This groundbreaking history of Spain in late antiquity sheds new light on the fall of the western Roman empire and the emergence of medieval Europe. Historian Michael Kulikowski draws on the most recent archeological and literary evidence in this fresh an enlightening account of the Iberian Peninsula from A.D. 300 to 600. In so doing, he provides a definitive narrative that integrates late antique Spain into the broader history of the Roman empire. Kulikowski begins with a concise introduction to the early history of Roman Spain, and then turns to the Diocletianic reforms of 293 and their long-term implications for Roman administration and the political ambitions of post-Roman contenders. He...

Environmental Thought in the Graeco-Roman World
The debate that has arisen around the concept of the Anthropocene forms the basis of this book. It investigates certain forms of environmental interrelation and 'ecological' sensitivity in the Graeco-Roman world. The notions of environmental depletion, exploitation and loss of plant species, and the ancients' knowledge of species diversity are the main cores of the research. The aim is to interrogate historical sources and diverse evidence and to analyse political and socioeconomic structures, according to a reading focused on possible antecedents, cultural prodromes, alignments of thought or divergencies, with respect to major modern environmental problems and current ecological conceptuali...
Understanding Integration in the Roman World
Integration is a buzzword in the 21st century. However, academics still do not agree on its meaning and, above all, on its consequences. This book offers numerous examples showing that the inhabitants of the Roman Mediterranean were “integrated”, i.e. were aware of the existence of a common framework of coexistence, without this necessarily resulting in a process of cultural convergence. For instance, the Spanish poet Martial explicitly refused to be considered the brother of the Greek Charmenion (10.65): paradoxically, while reaffirming their differences, his satirical epigram confirms the existence of a common frame of reference that encompassed them both. Understanding integration in the Roman world requires paying attention to the complex and varied responses to diversity in Roman times.
Minería y metalurgia antiguas
Au cours des dernières années, la connaissance des mines et des métallurgies antiques a connu des progrès très sensibles. Cela est dû autant à la multiplication de programmes archéologiques de portée locale ou régionale qu'à la mise en oeuvre de nouvelles formes d'approche, méthodologiques et techniques. Ce livre, consacré pour l'essentiel à la péninsule Ibérique - une des plus grandes régions productrices de métaux dans l'Antiquité - mais qui offre aussi deux articles de fond sur le Laurion (Grèce) et la Roumanie, montre les acquis récents de la recherche dans un domaine sur lequel Claude Domergue, auquel est dédié l'ouvrage, reste non seulement un précurseur mais aussi une référence indispensable.
Paisajes mineros antiguos en la Península Ibérica. Investigaciones recientes y nuevas líneas de trabajo. Homenaje a Calude Domergue
El estudio de los paisajes antiguos relacionados con la explotación de los recursos mineros forma parte de una línea de investigación consolidada que está produciendo importantes resultados para un conocimiento más global de los procesos económicos y sociales desencadenados por esta actividad. Recoge la exposición y discusión de los trabajos más recientes llevados a cabo en las grandes comarcas mineras hispanas, así como la presentación de resultados derivados de la aplicación de diversas herramientas metodológicas. Asimismo se hace eco de los estudios recientes sobre la minería histórica de Almadén, de especial relevancia en el contexto de la reciente inclusión de la Mina de Almadén en la Lista de Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO. La obra se ofrece en homenaje a la figura de Claude Domergue, investigador pionero en el estudio de la minería romana de Hispania y una de las más egregias figuras internacionales en el campo de la minería y metalurgia antiguas.
Lateres plumbei hispani
L’Espagne romaine fut la principale région productrice et exportatrice de plomb dans une grande partie de la Méditerranée occidentale entre la fin de la République (IIe-Ier s. av. J.-C.) et le Ier siècle apr. J.-C. La diffusion de ce métal est connue par les très nombreux lingots découverts, pour la plupart — et plus spécialement au cours des dernières décennies — dans des épaves sous-marines. Porteurs d’une riche épigraphie, ils constituent une inépuisable source d’information sur l’organisation de l’activité minière dans l’Hispanie et sur le commerce au long cours du plomb qu’elle produisait. Cet ouvrage réunit toute l’épigraphie de ces lingots (marque...
