The pre-Pyrenees of Lleida in Late Antiquity: christianisation processes of a landscape in the Tarraconensis

We try to perform a state of the question about the first christianisation occurred in the pre-Pyrenees of Lleida, where it has been detected a remarkable monastic activity which coincides in space and in time with a series of Late Antiquity religious sites. We analyse the probable relationship of t...

We analyse the probable relationship of these sites with the historical routes of transhumant livestock in this area and, at the same time, the possible link of these routes with rural monasticism and with the Episcopal sees of Ilerda and Vrgellum, both flanking the studied territory and strategically located at the end of the westernmost transhumant axes of Catalonia (with Ilerda controlling winter pastures and Vrgellum the summer ones). We connect this fact to the enigmatic Vrgellum breakthrough in the political and territorial scene, since up to that moment, and as Roman nucleus, had not shown any significance or legal entity. Establishing these connections, we close a circle around transhumant livestock, which experienced a noticeable boom in Western Europe during Late Antiquity, as we know from various sources.For my own part, this study has been made possible thanks to a scholarship grant Beatriu de Pinós (mode A) of the Direcció General de Recerca de la Generalitat de Catalunya, and is inserted in the research projects of HAR2010-15183/HIST of the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación and 2009SGR-1255 from the Agència de Gestió d’Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca, both projects led by Prof. Josep Vilella (Universitat de Barcelona).My contribution to this work has been developed under the research project HAR2008-01623/HIST of the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, headed by Prof. Eva Subías (Universitat Rovira i Virgili).Universitat de Lleida2013info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://www.raco.cat/index.php/RAP/article/view/283563http://hdl.handle.net/10459.1/57515Revista d'arqueologia de Ponent; 2013: Núm.: 23; p. 27-44reponame:Recercat.

We analyse the probable relationship of these sites with the historical routes of transhumant livestock in this area and, at the same time, the possible link of these routes with rural monasticism and with the Episcopal sees of Ilerda and Vrgellum, both flanking the studied territory and strategically located at the end of the westernmost transhumant axes of Catalonia (with Ilerda controlling winter pastures and Vrgellum the summer ones).
