In Tempore Sueborum. El tiempo de los Suevos en la 'Gallaecia' (411-585)

Description

This volume of studies includes a series of works carried out on the occasion of the 'In Tempore Sueborum' exhibition, held in Ourense (Galicia, Spain) between December 15, 2017 and May 7, 2018, sponsored and funded by the Provincial Council of Ourense and the Regional Government of Galicia (Xunta de Galicia). This work completes the catalog of the exhibition, already published in 2017, and offers a complete and updated overview of the historical-archaeological research about those Barbarians groups known through the textual sources as 'Suebi' and the processes known as 'barbarian migrations' in the post-Roman West (chapters I and II). At the same time we presented an overview of the period in which the 'Suebi' formed an independent kingdom in 411 AD (the first Kingdom of the West) in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula (in the former Roman province of 'Gallaecia') through a set of studies that present the current state of our knowledge about the 5th and 6th centuries in that region based on political, religious, monetary history, population structures (urban and rural), the Christianization process, the funeral world and Christian religious architecture (Chapter III). It is, to date, the most complete and interdisciplinary study on this period (from the 5th to the 7th century) and for this region (the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula), bringing together the best current specialists on this period.
