Book Review of Hispania and the Roman Mediterranean, AD 100–700: Ceramics and Trade, by Paul Reynolds

Abstract

In this book, the author presents a review and interpretation of the pottery evidence from Hispania (the Iberian peninsula and the Balearic Islands) and finds of pottery of Hispanic origin recovered outside Hispania for the period ca. 100–700 C.E. His aims are to determine the geography of the various subregional economies within Hispania, evaluate Hispania’s role in interregional exchange, and trace stability and change in both of these across the transition from the Roman to the Early Medieval world.
