Specific References

The kingdom of the Visigoths was one of the most important of the post-Roman successor kingdoms, but compared to its Frankish and Ostrogothic peers, scholarship has relatively rarely represented its influence and significance. The essays in this book approach the coinage of the Visigothic kingdom as intrinsically connected with the operation of the state and deeply connected with the economy and culture of the Mediterranean world in Late Antiquity. Topics covered include the organization of minting, the relationship of coinage to the fiscal needs of the state as well as to the political maneuvers of the kings, and the ways that iconography and circulation within the kingdom were connected with its Mediterranean peers.

Andrew Kurt is Professor of History at Clayton State University. His publications examine currency and economy as well as popular Christian piety in early medieval Iberia, Prester John as African, and Christian-Muslim interactions in the Horn of Africa region. His forthcoming book concerns the story behind the Hispanic Society of America, an astounding collection built by the Gilded Age philanthropist Archer M. Huntington.
