The Classical Association Carmarthen & West Wales branch seminar: Alec Dawson on ‘Reconstructing History in the Absence of Evidence: The Suevic Kingdom from the Fifth to the Sixth Century and The ‘Dark Age’ of Spain’

Carmarthen and West Wales Classical Association is hosting an online branch seminar with Alec Dawson (Swansea), who will speak on reconstructing history where the evidence is limited. The talk focuses on the Suevic Kingdom from the fifth to the sixth century and the wider history of Spain in the so-called ‘Dark Age’ period, offering an academic discussion of how historians approach fragmentary sources and uncertain narratives.

The event takes place via MS Teams, making it accessible remotely. Those wishing to attend are asked to email the organisers in advance to receive the joining details. It will suit anyone with an interest in classics, ancient history, medieval history, historiography, or the ways in which scholars interpret periods with sparse documentary evidence.
