Le détroit de Gibraltar (Antiquité – Moyen Âge). III

Overview & Synopsis

This book explores the uniqueness and importance of the Strait of Gibraltar from Punic domination to the fall of Granada. This geohistorical region, situated between two continents and between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, was much more than a simple transit zone. It has been a passageway for people, goods, ideas and cultural models. The book analyzes these flows and networks of exchange, on local and global scales, drawing on written sources, cartography and archaeology.
