EDITORS COMMENTS
In this sixth-century colored engraving, the Invasion of the Iberian Peninsula by the Visigoths unfolds before our eyes. The image transports us back in time to an era marked by the clash of civilizations and the relentless march of history. The Visigoths, a confederation of Germanic tribes, are depicted as formidable attackers, their horses and shields at the ready. Their determined expressions and fierce gazes convey a sense of unyielding resolve as they charge towards the shores of Hispania, the ancient name for the Iberian Peninsula. The invaders, clad in armor and adorned with intricate tattoos, are a stark contrast to the peaceful scenes of rural life that once dominated the peninsula. The rich colors of the engraving bring the scene to life, from the deep blues of the ocean to the vibrant greens of the countryside. The Visigoths' invasion marked the end of the Roman rule in the western part of the Iberian Peninsula and the beginning of the Visigothic Kingdom. This period was marked by significant cultural and religious changes, as the Visigoths adopted many Roman customs and introduced Arian Christianity to the region. The Invasion of the Iberian Peninsula by the Visigoths is a pivotal moment in the history of Spain and Europe. This engraving offers a unique and captivating perspective on this important historical event, transporting us back to a time of change and transformation.
