Abstract
The most important source to know how the Visigothic army was in the second half of the seventh century is the Historia Wambae of Julian de Toledo, literary and rhetoric work created for greater aggrandizement of King Wamba, but which provides us with unique information about the military campaigns of this monarch, the one who confronted him with the Basques and, especially, the one he brought against the rebel Paulo. The author is not satisfied with exalting the king, his detailed account is an exceptional testimony about the strategic development of a late army in the countryside and a unique document to know the structure and behavior of the Visigothic armies; as well as the ceremonial associated with war and victory.
期刊介绍:
STUDIA HISTORICA: HISTORIA ANTIGUA is an annual journal in which the articles received will be evaluated by reviewers external to the journal through the double blind system. The Editorial Board, respectful of the intellectual freedom of the authors, will not modify the opinions and expressed by them, although it does not sympathize with them either. The Editorial Board of STUDIA HISTORICA: HISTORIA ANTIGUA will consider the publication of works of all kinds, provided that they demonstrate a high level of quality and deal with aspects related to the chronological period included within the scope of Ancient History, either because of the novelty of the subject, because of the different treatment more deep of a problem already identified in historiography, by the contribution of unknown data in relation to a determined historiographic question, or by the potential applications of a new or more refined methodology.
