[Archport] The Archaeology of Roman Portugal in its Western Mediterranean Context

[<jde@fl.uc.pt>]

A prestigiada editora Oxbow Books acaba de publicar o volume The Archaeology of Roman Portugal in its Western Mediterranean Context. 

Este volume reúne alguns contributos apresentados no congresso realizado na Universidade de Leiden em 2018, materializando a parceria iniciada no Fronteira Landscape Project. 

Este programa resultou de uma colaboração entre a Universidade de Évora e a Universiteit Leiden (NED) para um projecto comum de análise da Arqueologia do Povoamento em época romana centrada no Município de Fronteira (Alto Alentejo). Com o decorrer do projecto verificou-se que seria importante criar um enquadramento mais amplo das problemáticas da conquista e integração dos territórios do Sudoeste peninsular no Império Romano, pelo que se organizou um congresso, reunindo especialistas trabalhando em distintos territórios da Hispânia.

 

Como este tem sido um espaço geográfico pouco divulgado e conhecido entre os investigadores centro-europeus e anglófonos, pretende-se que o presente volume atinja um público de ampla difusão internacional.

 

O índice do volume é o seguinte:
