Objects of personal adornment from Late Antiquity have been extensively studied in the Iberian Peninsula since the 19th century, when the first funerary contexts from that period began to come to light. However, only partial information was available with regard to their production process and chemical composition. This came from the archaeometallu...

The pictorial scene in the Via Latina catacomb/Via Dino Compagni hypogeum in Rome known as the Anatomy Lesson is probably one of the first images, if not the first, in which a human anatomical dissection is depicted.

Discussing the city in Late Antiquity means discussing economy and society. In terms of historiography, the period, once Fustel de Coulanges, Max Weber or Henri Pirenne are left behind, has been straightjacketed according to two models identified by Bryan Ward-Perkins in 1997. One considers the period to have been one of catastrophe and collapse, t...
