| Abstract | The
notion of Empire immediately precipitates consideration of issues of
decline and aftermath. This session will attempt to elucidate these
related themes through investigation of relationships of power during
the final years of the Western Roman Empire and the formation of its
successor states. These relationships governed the social status, mobility, and interactions of the individuals who lived during these formative years and their developments give us insight into their fluid socio-political context. In order to investigate general trends that can be discerned from the personal evidence of Late Antique social relationships, a broad spectrum of places and times will be investigated; in particular Iberia, Gaul, and Britain, from the 4th to 8th centuries. |
