Document Details : Title: De Gallia in Hispaniam Subtitle: Notes on a Brooch with the Heads of a Lion, a Bull and a Human Found in Celtiberia Author(s): SIMÓN, Francisco Marco Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 3 Issue: 2 Date: 2004 Pages: 376-384 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.3.2.3291829 Abstract : This paper sets out to study the find of a Gallo-Roman brooch on the outskirts of a metalworking settlement in the heart of Celtiberia. The historical context of where it was found is analysed. The brooch, with an interesting iconography of two lions, along with a human head and bull’s head, is the product of a workshop in central-eastern Gaul, datable to the 1st century AD. It provides yet further evidence of the presence of Gaulish elements in the mid-Ebro valley (province of Hispania Tarraconensis), possibly related to the exploitation of iron ore in the Moncayo region. |
