Abstract

Written and archaeological sources, specially the epigraphical documents, in spanish Late Antiquity (5th-7th centuries) allow us to identify a privileged group of women, able to gather wealth and social prestige. The relationships of protection and charity which they support are the main outside expression of their excellence in the society of the age.
