Lyre-Shaped Belt Buckle in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2010
Lyre-Shaped Belt Buckle
Copper alloy
Hispano-Visigothic
Made 600-700
Accession # 1990.193.3a, b
Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
The Visigoths
Of the many people who settled in the western lands once part of the Roman Empire, the Franks and Visigoths were among the most successful. They were, in fact, rivals in their territorial claims- both vying for lands situated along what is now the border between France and Spain. After the Franks led by king Clovis defeated the Visigoths in 507, the latter retreated into Spain. There they established a kingdom that flourished culturally and economically until the early 700s, when it was conquered by Muslims who crossed the Strait of Gibraltar from North Africa.
