During the period when Sardinia was part of the Vandalic Kingdom, and the centuries when it became a province of the Byzantine diocese of Africa, the island’s landscape remained substantially unaltered. It was characterized by a limited number of urban settlements, a remarkable regularity of very small rural settlements coexisting alongside villas tied to the agricultural exploitation of the territories and by villages connected to the road systems. Considering that rulers’ (Vandals and Byzantines) fiscal systems must have inherited a substantial amount of its character from the Roman scheme, it could be reasonably asserted that the economic structures related to the levy system may have remained unaltered at least until its equilibrium was breeched by the arrival of the Arabs in the Mediterranean. However, there is increasing evidence which proves the existence of settlements devoted to an economy of self-consumption from the 8th century onward.
