| Popis: | The archaeological site of Carranque (Toledo, Spain) is one of the most important Hispano-Roman sites in terms of the use of marmora during the late Roman Empire. The research carried out since 2004 at this site has shed light on the extent of the use of more than forty types of marmora (from the most important Mediterranean and Hispanic quarries) to decorate a prominent palatial building built in the late 4th century AD and which has been the object of recent studies and publications. The work we present now focuses on the reuse of marmora from this Late Roman building in the construction of tombs of the necropolis established in Visigothic times (6th – 7th centuries AD). |
