    Roman Marble Statues in Tarraco (Hispania Citerior): imports and local production
    (Sonderschriften des Österreichischen Archäologischen Institutes in Wien (SoSchrÖAI), 2025-01-01) Ruiz, Julio C.
    The distinction between imported sculptures and works produced in local workshops is easier in large ensembles, as is the case in Tarraco, capital of the province Hispania citerior. The aim of this work is to assess the hypotheses formulated by various researchers, based on several criteria. These criteria are, mainly, the degree of fidelity with respect to the original model, the raw materials used and the stylistic quality of the works. Attention has been paid to the type of representation (divinities or portraits), dimensions and qualitative aspects of the marbles used. The results of this study show that some of the statues were probably sculpted in local workshops. However, many sculptures were quite likely made in foreign workshops, both in Rome and in the Eastern Mediterranean. This study provides new data on the production process of Roman marble sculptures in this important city of Hispania.

    La villa de Parets Delgades (La Selva del Camp, Tarragona): secuencia cronológica, arquitectura y programa decorativo
    (Edipuglia, 2025-01-16) Ruiz, Julio C.; Fortuny Mendo, Karen
    The site of Parets Delgades (La Selva del Camp, Tarragona) reflects the overlapping of several historical phases. A hermitage, documented since the Middle Ages, still stands today. This structure sits atop a preceding Roman villa, which has been minimally explored through limited excavations in the first half of the 20th century. It has been suggested that this villa was established in the 1st century B.C., but it underwent significant expansion in the 4th century A.D. The residential complex was organized around a peristyle, with adjacent rooms featuring elaborate mosaic floors. The development of this site remains poorly understood, though it is presumed to have been occupied until Late Antiquity. This assumption is supported by the discovery of a capital dating back to the 6th century, associated with a purported Visigothic basilica.

    Le statue dei defunti nel paesaggio funerario di Tarraco
    (BAR Publishing, 2022-01-01) Ruiz, Julio C.
    This article deals with the sculptures from funerary contexts of Tarraco, capital of the province Hispania citerior. These are funerary portraits which were placed in Roman times in their respective funerary monuments. The aim is to obtain a more precise reconstruction of the funerary landscape of Tarraco from the preserved sculptures. For this purpose, data on their finding circumstances are mainly considered. We also reflect on its chronology, iconography, and raw material. Most of the funerary portraits come from the area of the early Christian necropolis, where they had been reused. The provenance of another group of statues is unknown, although they most likely come from the former area. We also know a bust of the Hadrian period from a different area of the town. Most of the sculptures are made of local stones and date back to the second half of the first century BC. The remaining portraits and iconic torsos belong to different moments of the High Empire and are carved in marble. The latter generally are preserved in worse condition due to their reuse in the tombs of the Late Antique period.

    Marble fragments of monumental inscriptions from the Tarraco circus (Hispania citerior)
    (Dokuz Eylül University Publications, 2023-03-15) Ruiz, Julio C.; Lapuente, pilar; Gorostidi Pi, Diana; Brilli, Mauro
    Though the architectural configuration of the Roman circus of Tarraco is well known, until now there has hardly been any information about its epigraphic program. The archaeological excavations carried out recently have brought to light numerous fragments of monumental inscriptions in white marbles. They exhibit some characteristics that indicate them to be official inscriptions of monumental dimensions. No fragments fit together, but most of them present common parameters which allow them to be separated into at least two different groups. Macroscopically, differences in whiteness and in the quality of carving have been observed. To be certain of the common geological nature of marbles from the same group, they have been investigated under optical microscope and cathodoluminescence equipment. Complementary C and O stable isotopes have been analysed in order to attribute the samples to a particular ancient marble quarry. This contribution will lead us to progress further in the study of this architectural complex.
