La abundancia de recursos naturales de la península ibérica atrajo a fenicios, griegos y cartagineses, y es uno de los factores que explican el enfrentamiento de Roma y Cartago en la Segunda Guerra Púnica. A medida que los romanos conquistaban amplias zonas del litoral mediterráneo y se expandían hacia el interior, implantaron formas de explotación...
The development of a wine economy in various regions of the Iberian Peninsula between the end of the Republican period and the first centuries of the Empire is a fundamental area of study. Firstly, because of its importance within the general evolution of the economy of some provinces, as an activity linked to market structures and related to a spe...
The historiography of the Late Republic and the Early Empire compiles numerous references that appear to form part of complex narratives about their past created by some Hispanic cities. These narratives, in the form of collective memory in some cases, are one of the components of the civic identity of these cities. Based on the study of some speci...

Las cavidades han sido lugares utilizados reiteradamente a lo largo de la historia y con distintas funcionalidades tal y como evidencia la tipología de los restos arqueológicos hallados. Así, la presencia de materiales arqueológicos en cuevas y abrigos desde la protohistoria hasta la actualidad está documentada en un buen número de yacimientos, per...
The manufacture and repair of tools and other categories of iron objects was a fundamental activity in the economy
and daily life of the rural populations of Hispania. Archaeology shows that this activity was implemented in a variety
of ways, which did not respond solely to the claim of self-sufficiency. This diversity, which implies a particular
o...
The article presents a methodology to analyze the Greek amphora epigraphy produced during the Roman Empire in its eastern part. The detailed information that appears as an abbreviated form in thousands of inscriptions distributed throughout the Roman territory is an essential element to understand the imperial socioeconomic dynamics. Here we presen...
Viticulture played an important role in the economy of the Mediterranean coast of Hispania Citerior Tarraconensis between the 1st century BCE and the 3rd century CE. Vineyards, wineries, and pottery workshops are usually found clustered in specific areas, such as the Laetanian region located on the northeast coast of the Iberian Peninsula. Their sp...

Dinámicas de circulación y consumo del vino layetano en Hispania Resumen: El desarrollo de la viticultura en el noreste de la provincia Hispania Citerior Tarraconensis a lo largo del siglo I a. C. se asocia a unas dinámicas de distribución muy importantes. La evidencia documental parecía indicar que la distribución de los vinos t...
A set of tableware (with local imitations of contemporary Italic sigillata forms), kitchen ceramics and Tarraconense 1 amphorae recovered from an emergency excavation carried out in Can Bel (Pineda de Mar) is being studied. Some of the amphorae were marked with stamps that include various onomastic forms. The geographical distribution of this stamp...
This paper aims to reconstruct the vicissitudes that have followed the study of one of the most interesting Roman archaeological sites in Catalonia: the rural sanctuary of Can Modolell. The site was excavated between 1974 and 1984 by the Archaeological Section of the Mataró Museum (SAMM) and has been the subject of some isolated interventions in la...
The study of the rural habitat in north-eastern Hispania Citerior has been conditioned by a paradigm built on two complementary assumptions: the apparent hegemony of the villa as a form of territorial occupation and exploitation and the separation between the villa system and the peasant economy. In this context, rural buildings that are clearly di...
The epigraphic corpus of the provincial capitals and some convent capitals of Hispania, as well as of other cities, offers an important documentation, due to its quantity and diversity, to analyse some of the effects generated by geographical mobility in the interaction between social groups. In this urban framework, certain groups (the military; t...
The villa del Romeral (Albesa, la Noguera), is located on the left bank of the Noguera Ribagorçana river, just over 18 km from the city of Lleida. Founded at the beginning of the 1st century AD, maintained its function as a residence and productive villa until the middle of the 4th century, when a great reform began to turn it into a residential vi...
This work analyzes some of the features that characterize the rural habitat in the late period on the central Catalan coast. This analysis has two objectives. On the one hand, to reconstruct the socio-economic and cultural dynamics that determined the evolution of this habitat. The quality and quantity of the available documentation make it a case...
The large number of archaeological interventions carried
out in Mataró has allowed us to reconstruct the
general features of the evolution of the Roman Iluro,
from its foundation ex novo to its transformation into
a rural agglomeration in the 5th-6th centuries. In this
process, the legal definition as municipium at the beginning
of the empire is a...
An archaeological intervention carried out in Albesa allowed to partially excavate a rural settlement with several phases of occupation between the Imperial period and the middle Ages. Belongs to one of these phases an important deposit of ceramic materials. This deposit amortized a cistern. The repertoire includes all ceramic classes: tableware, c...

The article analyses the fundamental features of the organisation of rural settlement
along the lower stretch of the Ebro. The types and distribution of the rural sites are defined, paying particular attention to the known examples of residential architecture and productive technology. The relationship between the land occupation model and an agrar...
The Roman villa of Romeral offers a rather complex sequence
of occupation throughout the Roman Imperial period. The initial
phase corresponds to a poorly defined construction dated to the
1st century AD. This construction was then substituted by a large
residential area equipped with a balneum, which appears to date
between the 1st and 3rd centurie...
El desarrollo de una economía del vino en el litoral mediterráneo de Hispania, entre finales de época republicana e inicios del imperio, constituye un ámbito de estudio fundamental. Esto se debe, en primer lugar, a su importancia dentro de la evolución general de la economía de algunas provincias, como una actividad vin-culada a estructuras de merca...
Rural cults are an aspect of the religion and culture of Roman Hispania that it is especially difficult to analyze given the paucity of epigraphic and archaeological evidence. This is quite a recent area of research; in addition, we are dealing with often modest religious practices that are difficult to identify in the archaeological record. Partic...
The aim of this study is to analyse some aspects of viticulture in Hispaniae, in particular those relating to the organization of the winemaking process and artisan production (especially the manufacture of amphorae). The analysis focuses on production technology and transport, the organization of the rural habitat and forms of work and management....
How was the ancient Roman economy organized and how can our understanding be enhanced by new theoretical and methodological approaches? Recent work on model building, complex network analysis and computer simulation technologies has integrated and analysed diverse data sets – literary sources, settlement evidence, ceramics, amphorae, epigraphy, eth...

El coneixement de la protohistòria del Magrib oriental-entenent com a tal l'edat del bronze i la primera edat del ferro, és a dir, el segon i el primer mil·lennis aC, de la zona que correspon a les actuals Tunísia i Algèria oriental-presenta un veritable buit. Això és evident si es compara amb l'estat de la recerca sobre el mateix període a Eu-ropa...
The central Catalan coastline was occupied during the Roman period by numerous settlements. These settlements were very diverse in typology and function (villae, farm, huts, sanctuaries) and while many of them are connected to necropolis and craft centres, some can also be found isolated. These settlements are characterised by their particular plac...
