| Abstract | The aim of this session is to discuss the development of identities and the strategies of power in Post-Roman Spain and in the Visigothic period. The papers will engender debates on political and geographical notions of identities, ideological perceptions of land and rulership, and types of social violence and exercises of power. The panel will cover common conceptual themes within limited geographical horizons, but over a broad chronological scope in order to investigate developments of reform and renewal from the Roman provincial past to the establishment of the Visigothic authority. |
