| Sumario: | [EN] The Hispanic episcopal centres that were founded between the 4th and 5th centuries were, inmost cases, located in centres of a certain urban relevance. The historiography devoted to the study of later foundations, already in the Visigothic period, has assumed, in many cases almost automatically, that they were also established in cities. However, a new reinterpretation based on archaeological and textual data from the seats of Complutum, Arcavica and Valeria presented in this article questions this model and underlines the use,by the Visigothic Kingdom of Toledo, of the urban territorial demarcations of the lower imperial period as the basis of ecclesiastical organisation, without considering whether, as in the past, the eponymous city maintained its activity and its central role in the territory. |
