Description: Capital Continuous: A Study of Vandal Carthage and Central North Africa from an Archaeological Perspective by Ralf Bockmann English Summary: The Vandal period in North Africa has aroused the interest of historians since long as an intermediate period in late antique North Africa, spanning over much of the fifth and the early sixth centuries until the Vandal kingdom was conquered by the Byzantine Empire. Most studies have concentrated on the historic sources, through which a nuanced picture of the Vandal era was gained in recent years. This book assumes an archaeological perspective as an important counterweight and addition to the historic image. Concentrating on Carthage and two larger regions in modern Tunisia, the archaeological evidence is studied with a specific interest on the behaviour of local leading classes. Within the many signs of material continuity, the way the Vandal kings understood and executed their rule over Africa has produced some evidence that also points at the decisive changes that came with the time.

Review Text "Overall, Capital continuous represents an exeellent summary of the extant material evidenee for Vandal Afriea. 1t marshals this evidenee in eombination with prudent use of some of the more important literary texts for the period to produee series of thought-provoking conclusions on the nature of Vandal governance and elite life. Ralf Bockmann has made a valuable contribution to the flourishing debate on Afriea und er the Vandals."
