Corrientes y materiales en la arquitectura de la Córdoba romana

Abstract

Analiza el autor en este reciente artículo algunos de los aspectos estilísticos más destacados de ciertos órdenes arquitectónicos romanos procedentes del solar cordobés. Aporta, a la vez, el reconocimiento de los materiales utilizados, analizando procedencias y circuitos comerciales, con lo que abre en la Universidad de Córdoba una nueva línea de investigación.

Roman Quarries in the Northeast of Hispania (Modern Catalonia)

“…Elsewhere, the University of Murcia has proved a source of dynamic recent investigation both in the study of marble use and in the identification of local stone provenance. 21 Recent research on Corduba (modern Córdoba) and the centre of the Peninsula 22 follows a similar line, with the combined considerations of architectonic stone and evidence from the quarries themselves (Gutiérrez Deza 2004;Márquez 1995;Penco Valenzuela 2002Penco Valenzuela, Moreno Almenara and Gutiérrez Deza 2004).

“…Mas de Toda in Riudoms, Els Antigons in Reus, Els Munts in Altafulla, Can Xammar in Mataró, Can Modolell in Cabrera de Mar and Cal Ros de les Cabres in El Masnou) (Àlvarez 1989;Àlvarez, Gutiérrez Garcia-M. andPitarch 2006a, 2006b;Mayer 1990, 1998;Àlvarez, Mayer and Pera 1992 ;Mayer and Rodà 1999;Otiña 2002Otiña , 2003Otiña , 2005. Broccatello has been found not only at more distant sites on the Mediterranean coast, such as Saguntum (modern Sagunt), Ilici (modern Elx) and Carthago Nova (modern Cartagena), but also at southern inland towns, such as Italica (modern Santiponce, near Seville), Munigua (Mulva) and Corduba (modern Córdoba) (Márquez 1995;Mayer and Rodà 1991;Ramos 1991;Soler 2003). To the north and the interior of the Peninsula, broccatello crustae and even columns can be tracked along the course of the River Ebro.…”
