Opis

The impact of Roman civilisation on the Empire's clients in the West forms the subject of the initial parts of this volume. Even the most successful Germanic kingdoms of the 5th-6th century, the author argues, such as that of the Vandals in North Africa, could not escape the grasp of the Roman Empire: their politics and culture remained conditioned by imperial models and by the continuing reality of imperial power throughout late antiquity.

Recenzje

'...a valuable collection of studies, of importance not only to historians of the Vandals, but also to those interested in the prosopography and literary culture of the later Roman empire more generally.' The Classical Review, Vol. XLVI, no. 2
