The Roman-Republican fortress at Cáceres el Viejo (Cáceres, Spain). Old theories and new perspectives

Abstract

For a long time, the archaeological assemblage of the fortress at Cáceres el Viejo (Cáceres, Spain) remained hidden in the warehouses of the museums of Cáceres (Spain), Mainz and München (Germany). Only a few selected collections have attracted the interest of researchers and a small sample of the whole set has become known. Even with the monographic study of Günter Ulbert (1984) most of the archaeological collection of the Roman fortress has remained unpublished.
