Reviews

Readers will benefit from the wealth of detailed information about this fascinating and important corpus of material. - Wendy Davies, University of Oxford, English Historical Review, cxxxiii. 560 (February 2018)[-][-] [-][-] This is a study of exceptional range, courage and originality, and one that advances multiple fields. - Tom Nickson, Journal of the British Archaeological Assocation Volume 170, 2017[-][-] [-][-] Rose Walker's book is the first volume in Amsterdam University Press's new series, Late Antique and Early Medieval Iberia, edited by Jamie Wood, which aims to present new, synthetic literature on the Iberian Peninsula in the period ranging from the Roman period to the tenth century. The series itself first and foremost deserves praise as it aims at making accessible research on late antique Iberian material in the English language, which over the past decade has attracted increasing attention by the broader medievalist community ... It is refreshing to see new approaches to material culture through Art History compiled in such a useful volume; and the author is to be congratulated for such a valuable contribution which will most certainly be a great resource for teaching, research and as general reference. - Plekos 19, Javier Mart�nez Jim�nez, Cambridge[-][-]
