Late Antique and Early Medieval sculpture in the Iberian Peninsula does not have a complete corpus, but a large number of dispersed studies that allow us to establish a state of the art. We have corpora for regions, cities or museum collections, such as Badajoz, Córdoba, Tarragona or Toledo, as well as thematic directories, such as figurative sculp...

Discussing the city in Late Antiquity means discussing economy and society. In terms of historiography, the period, once Fustel de Coulanges, Max Weber or Henri Pirenne are left behind, has been straightjacketed according to two models identified by Bryan Ward-Perkins in 1997. One considers the period to have been one of catastrophe and collapse, t...
