Taifa of Toledo (Age of Charlemagne) Civil Tier 10

Monetary Needs

When Spain was ruled by the Visigoths, some key industries were allowed to stagnate - despite the fact that the Iberian Peninsula contains a wealth of mineral resources; it had silver deposits in abundance, as evidenced by ancient Roman records, yet Visigothic accounts barely mention this. Visigothic rule was mostly focused on military and agricultural development to sustain the economy, but the caliphates were much more interested in revitalising the country's potential. As well as being a major production centre for silver, the Muslims developed Spain's textiles industry by bringing the cotton plant to the region and turning Al-Andalus into a powerhouse of silk manufacture. They also enhanced the basic Roman irrigation systems with a canal system (based on the eastern 'qanats') that helped agriculture to thrive in the largely-arid climate.
