The Vandals Zusammenfassung

The Vandals Andrew Merrills (University of Leicester, UK)

The Vandals is the first book available in the English Language dedicated to exploring the sudden rise and dramatic fall of this complex North African Kingdom.

This complete history provides a full account of the Vandals and re-evaluates key aspects of the society including:

  • Political and economic structures such as the complex foreign policy which combined diplomatic alliances and marriages with brutal raiding
  • The extraordinary cultural development of secular learning, and the religious struggles that threatened to tear the state apart
  • The nature of Vandal identity from a social and gender perspective.

The Vandals Bewertungen

Merrills and Miles have produced an outstanding piece of scholarship that makes a genuine contribution to the field, and that will reward the close attention both of scholars and of educated laypeople interested in the transformation of the ancient Mediterranean into the world of the early Middle Ages. (Speculum, April 2012)
