The great strategic and geopolitic value of the Roman city of Iulia Libica was the fact that the urbs was placed in the most important passage of the Oriental Pyrenees, more than 1,220 m high, and near the Segre river, in Hispania Citerioris. Architecturally we can speak about the decorative programm of the forum and its temple. Dating from Augustean or Tiberian fundation, its most splendorous period was along the I-IIth centuries A.D.

     

The archaeological site of La Mosquita or Paraje de San Miguel is located in a secondary valley on the left bank of the Ebro river, in the municipality of Villalaín (Burgos). The archaeological ensemble is articulated around the La Mosquita cave, a clearly anthropized space over time through the placement of up to 9 cists excavated in the geological site and the detailing of a head and altar, causing a change in orientation. In addition to these elements, clearly pre–Christian elements such as cave paintings have been studied, where an anthropomorph with a horned headdress stands out. Along with these elements, other tombs excavated in the walls of the rocky cliff where the entire complex is located have been located outside the cave. From the study of the same, it has been possible to grant an absolute chronology to the whole, which allows us to delve into the hermit occupation in the Ebro valley.

To promote open science and data reuse, it is necessar y to put data in open repositories to ensure its accessibility and permanence. Archaeology data repositories are particularly important, as many of these data sets result from unrepeatable activities and offer almost infinite possibilities for reuse. However, it is not enough to transfer archaeological data to repositories for dissemination and preservation. For data to be Findable, Accessible and Reusable, it is necessary to follow guidelines that ensure the use of an appropriate metadata scheme, persistent identifiers, well–defined vocabularies, procedures to normalize and improve data quality and sustainable file formats. In this work we present the methodology used to record the findings of the coin type and their contexts, as a result from the archaeological works carried out by the Archaeology Unit of the University of Minho and its availability, in open access, in the scientific repository DataRepositóriUM. We are also presenting some examples of visualization and research works carried out on these data sets that, due to their sharing in the repository, can be used not only to reproduce the research that has already been carried out, but also as a support for new research works.

The following article proposes the study, based on the data provided by the Latin epigraphy of the Hispanic provinces, of one of the most important imperial families of the period of military anarchy, as is the case of the domus Licinia Augusta (253-268). Therefore, we will examine the self–representative techniques of the emperors Valerian, Gallienus and their relatives, Salonina, Valerian the Younger and Saloninus, through the statistical analysis of their Hispanic epigraphic corpus. In this way, the most significant imperial types, origins or titles will be studied, as well as identifying two different chronological phases and highlighting the importance of the communities in the imperial dedications of the time.

Calagurris Iulia (Calahorra, La Rioja) achieved the rank of municipium with Augusto. This legal promotion brought with it the start of the monumentalization of the city and the construction of the first public buildings. This fact also occurred with the government of the Flavios and Antoninos. But not only the urban enclave was intervened, but so was its rural environment. The greatest example is the layout of the centuriatio. The villae were influenced by each of the monumentalization processes detected in the city and which came to coincide with stages of dynamism. Taking Calahorra as an example and using the data provided by written sources, epigraphy and, especially, archeology; It is going to analyze how the public buildings of the city were developed, its urban planning and its legally assigned territory in these periods of economic boom.

This work aims to be a contribution to the study of «sacred stones» or «stones sanctuaries». The objective is to present an unprecedented case in the province of Guadalajara. It is a rocky support of sandstone, of natural formation, which has small notches that give access to an upper part decorated with cups, buckets and channels. This striking sanctuary shows a cruciform engraved to the right of the notch line, which implies a continuity of use until medieval times and it allows us to associate it with a set of cave hermitages that are a few meters away.

Analsys of the interpretations made by Professor Adolf Schulten regarding to some texts of Appian’s Iberiké related to Numantia war and that have little or nothing to do with the or iginal work of the Alexandrian historian. These are the episodes referring to the two arrivals of Scipio Aemilianus to Numantia. The first one after hardening and disciplining the army, and the second one after his journey through Vaccaei lands to initiate the siege works of the Celtiberian city. Our alternative comments are also provided.

The recognition of cultural practices around the archaeological assets documented in the Cundiboyacense highlands, eastern Andes of Colombia, allowed to identify narratives that account for possible relationships between myths, rites, and recorded archaeological assets. Through an ethnoarchaeological and iconographic study in 31 archaeological glasses and 20 ethnographic vessels of the Archaeological Museum of Tunja, it was possible to identify discursive, typological and morphological relationships between the rite of sowing water that is still practiced by highland peasants and the myth of Muisca origin Bachue.

This paper offers a comparative study of two historical and legendary native American women: Doña Marina (Malinche), who accompanied Hernán Cortes in his conquest, and Catalina, partner of Pedro de Heredia, who founded Cartagena de Indias. Indeed, both women have given rise to numerous documents of all types: texts, audio, iconography, literature and video. This paper describes, firstly, their abduction and slave condition, and then their crucial role as counsellors, which contributed to establishing peaceful relations with many indigenous tribes, as well as spreading the Roman Catholic faith. Moreover, we discuss the development of both relationships and the role played by Catalina and Marina in the founding of, respectively, Cartagena and the Second Veracruz. The analysis uses two TV series as its starting point, and aims at developing critical reading skills in university students.
