The Visigoths from the Migration Period to the Seventh Century
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 creat...

The late antique and the early medieval periods witnessed the flourishing of bishops in the West as the main articulators of social life.

Format a Madrid i afecte al règim, Almagro fou nomenat director del Museu Arqueològic Provincial de Barcelona en substitució de Pere Bosch Gimpera, que s’havia exiliat. Amb habilitats polítiques i una innegable capacitat de treball, aconseguí un poder quasi absolut sobre la recerca i la difusió de l’arqueologia a ...
History of the Byzantine Empire, 324–1453, Volume II
