The Flavian Officina Lapidaria Tarraconense: colour and texture in the service of Rome

Journal Title: Studia Europaea Gnesnensia - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue

Abstract

We present a reflection on the workshops charged with shaping the public image of Flavian Tarraco through its epigraphic monuments. For this purpose, we undertook a detailed analysis of the materials and media used to decorate the areas of representation of the Concilium Provinciae, established at the beginning of Vespasian’s reign, contrasting them with the epigraphic production of the preceding periods. The study is compared to other archaeological relics from the same area.
