Synthesising historical and archaeological approaches, this interdisciplinary study combines text-based prosopography with distribution analysis of ceramics and \lquote pseudo-imperial\rquote coins in Burgundy and beyond. The study reveals that the frontiers of the second Burgundian kingdom (5th\cf2 -\cf1 6th centuries) curtailed traditional movements along one of Europe\rquote s key riverine corridors and reshaped, temporarily, the mental geographies imagined by local Gallo-Romans, until Merovingian princes conquered the region. The book includes the most thorough assessment to date of the distribution of Burgundian coins found across France. Illuminating the Burgundian kingdom\rquote s internal dynamics and its foreign relations, this assessment revises current understandings of the circulation of gold money across sixth-century Gaul, correcting over-generalisations that can obscure the importance of political frontiers at the end of antiquity.\par \par \pard\sa160\sl252\slmult1\cf0\f1\par \pard\f2\fs17\par }
