This third Visigothic Symposium addresses the broad topic of information, and it is organized in two panels: communication and circulation. These subjects are explored by the contributors in a variety of ways as they pertain to events in the Iberian Peninsula during the Visigothic period. Panel 1 explores the functioning and uses of ?communication,? which is analyzed from diverse perspectives: cultural (engineering and other knowledge and its transmission), political and ideological (the integration and acceptance of converts inside Visigothic society and Christianity in general; the uses of history and its texts to foster unity and control some factions of the aristocracy), and military (the creation of a professional Visigothic army, and the way this worked).
