"In an intimate and domestic way, these letters describe what happened in Gaul after the final Roman withdrawal just before AD 480. They illustrate how literary life continued under barbarian rule, and demonstrate how well-to-do Gauls responded to the changing times. They provide priceless insights not only into the private and public lives of individual letter writers, but also into live and activities in Visigothic Gaul at the local level in general. In this regard, they suggest how little impact the Visigoths actually had. More than any other source, these letters tell the tale of the 'end of Roman Gaul'."--Jacket.
