Late Antiquity (centuries III / VIII) is presented as a historical period marked by various policy reviews, social, cultural and religious tradition connected with the Hellenistic Greco-Roman. Among the several changes occurring emphasize that it refers to the design and the idea of history itself, visibly guided the Hellenistic rhetoric and passing in late-antique world, the environment of grammatical knowledge. This change is due to both technical innovations and features material from the third century as well as the new way to link the historical events of the will of heaven. Such innovation, typical of Late Antiquity, will be adopted by Christian thinkers from the fourth century, resulting in a clearer idea of divine interventionin the development of history itself. Turning our approach the two thinkers of the Hispano-Visigoth kingdom of Toledo in the seventh century, Isidore of Seville and Valerio of Bierzo, seek review their ideas that they were both on the history, and observe that his writings can be characterized as historical works directed empowering the groups by the Hispano-Visigoth nobility and also late-antique.
