Ltd.10.26689/ssr.v6i3.6565ArticleThe Construction of a Religious Minority: The Case of the Arians in the Iberian Peninsula (6th Century) — A Secondary Publicationhttps://artdesignp.com/journal/SSR/6/3/10.26689/ssr.v6i3.6565Dell’ ElicineEleonora2024632024-04-15Unlike other minorities examined in this volume, the Arian one constituted a dominant minority in the Peninsula until the conversion of Reccared. While considering the Arian creed as an ethnic command, traditional historiography did not explore too much the religious component of domination. As much as the sources allow, this article studies the religious dimension proposed by this way of ordering society on two converging levels, which are Arianism as a parameter of hierarchy and Arianism as theology.
