This paper analyzes, as part of a broader aim of recognizing the Gallaecian institutional ordination during the Sueve Catholic period, the unique institution of synodi, two districts which divided the ecclesiastical province of Gallaecia in the second half of the 6th century. Their metropolitan correspondence is shown throughout the involved ecclesiastical documentation. Then synodi are located in their historical context, along with other modifications on metropolitan articulation of certain provincial and regional churches, which demonstrates the constant infl uence of a determinant political factor on them. The historiographical assessment of Gallaecian synodi, which has largely evaded this factor, is summarized. At last, its infl uence in the concrete case of Sueve Catholic synodi is evaluated in depth, identifying on them multiple political and administrative implications.
