| dc.description.abstractEn | Most late-twentieth-century studies dealing with the Visigothic kingdomof Toledo mentioned its alleged imitation of Byzantium as its hallmark,singling it out from the rest of barbarian Europe. This was not a generalimitatio imperii, but an imitation of the only Roman empire contemporaryto the Gothic polity: eastern, Greek-speaking, exotic Byzantium. Thischapter discusses the origins of Byzantinism in Visigothic historiography, itsoccasionally scant grounding in the evidence, and the ideological functionsit fulfijilled for historians. In the twentieth century, the Byzantinist paradigmproduced well-arranged yet often contradictory narratives of one of thelongest-lived post-Roman kingdoms in the West. Only lately has politicaland scientifijic globalization dispelled both the illusion of the uniquenessof Spanish features and the necessity for grounding it in Byzantinism. | |
