“…This magical ritual is followed by a mounted spearman with a torque (HST), found exclusively in the upper frieze. Clearly, the riders associated with the metamorphic portents that follow the CsC are to be explained as a consequence of the magical ritual that has just taken place as described above (similar instances are found in other Castro figurative pieces such as Sacrificial Bronzes (see Armada Pita and García Vuelta ). The distal (right) end of fragment B holds yet another double spearman (SsC), indicating the end of the scene or the beginning of a new one.…”

“…In the Sacrificial Bronze at the Institute of Valencia de Don Juan there is a clear relationship between bears and a propitiatory‐sacrificial presentation together with other animals: ovicaprids and swine. All the animals seem linked to this sacrifice through various items, such as knives/daggers which are wielded by human figures wearing torques, and the presence of the cauldron before which all are presented as if it were a sacrificial altar (Armada Pita and García Vuelta , pl. 2).…”

Summary If there is one piece of the Castro culture goldwork that stands out above the rest, it is the set of figurative gold diadem‐belt fragments from Moñes (Piloña, Asturias, Spain). Its uniqueness lies in its combination of local technological tradition with exogenous practices, like figurative representation. The figures that appear are armed characters, occasionally on horseback, and sometimes zoomorphic in appearance (especially as bird‐men), together with different kinds of animals, especially those from an aquatic environment. This iconography has been interpreted as emphasizing the warlike character of Celtic symbolism as expressed through an aquatic funerary ritual. My argument here, however, provides an alternative interpretation based on a context of dramatic social change, which warranted the reformulation of creation mythology such as that depicted on the diadem‐belt. This context must be viewed in relation to different social responses which developed during the first century BC, both before and immediately after the Roman conquest.

“…Aunque es un fenómeno propio del conjunto del Occidente peninsular 3Carabeles (Museo do Povo Galego) (cf. Armada y García Vuelta 2003: 69-70) y su cronología es problemática 5 , la aparición de Atalaia de San Cibrao (Castro Vigo 2009: 133) en un contexto de cambio de era es un indicio favorable de que su consumo se debe relacionar con los cambios que estamos examinando. El depósito votivo de Viladonga de un hacha de talón y cuatro anillas, en comparación con el hacha de talón y dos anillos con una considerable biografía aparecida en Chao (Blas Cortina y Villa 2007: 285), sugiere que otras hachas de bronce pudieran haber adquirido una consideración litúrgica similar, derivada de su prolongada circulación (cf.…”

El Hierro Final del noroeste peninsular ofrece una serie de documentos valiosos para la comprensión de las religiones castreñas. Como resultado, la mayor parte de trabajos sobre los rituales o las representaciones ideales del conjunto de la Edad del Hierro de esta región suelen depender de tales testimonios, de modo que la mayor parte de nuestro conocimiento sobre la materia se ha construido casi exclusivamente en base a fuentes de un momento de profundos cambios a diversos niveles. Esto ha redundado en una visión estereotipada que recomienda una revisión de la naturaleza y grado del cambio operado en el Hierro Final y su religión.

“…Notwithstanding Northwestern Iberian production, the torc is also a Roman symbol; a military award loaded connoting not only martial success, but also the exercise of power (Marco 2002). Additionally, the torc appears within the complex figurative narrative of sacrificial bronzes (Armada and García-Vuelta 2003). Torcs form part of a complex iconographic language (which probably includes zoomorphic art, cauldrons and axes) that emerges in this moment of change and is fostered under Roman influence.…”

In light of new thinking about Iron Age societies, the authors propose an analysis of the political and territorial characteristics of Northwestern Iberian societies at the end of the Iron Age and the beginning of Roman dominion (2 nd and 1 st centuries BC). This essay documents the emergence in that period of large settlements that replaced the traditional dispersed, small-scale Iron Age castros (small fortified agrarian settlements). Territorial analyses reveal that these new settlements entailed a change of scale, but reveal no evidence for centralized structures, and offer no strong qualitative differences from the previous castros. By analyzing the characteristics of these late Iron Age settlements, this essay focuses on the variety of interactions fostered by Roman military presence in the region, and the relevance of heterarchical approaches for understanding evolving power flows and material culture.
