<dc:description>The seventh century in Iberia brought about a number of transformations in a society that throughout the “long sixth century” had shown a remarkable degree of continuity from the previous Roman cultural and political structures. In this century, the Visigoths unified their society under the Catholic creed and consolidated their dominion over Iberia by expelling the Byzantines from their last strongholds. Yet the classical tradition was visible in many aspects of society until the Islamic invasion of the eighth century, which meant the downfall of the Visigothic Kingdom and the quick Islamization of the Peninsula. This event prompted a very different sort of “long eighth century” in Iberia, compared with that of the rest of Europe, and was marked by deep changes at all levels. It meant a much more evident break with the Roman past.</dc:description>
