Abstract: Este artículo muestra el estudio arqueométrico realizado sobre una escultura de Livia, hallada en la ciudad romana de Asido (actual Medina Sidonia, Cádiz, España), conservada en dos partes disociadas (cabeza y cuerpo), con objeto de ampliar el conocimiento sobre el hallazgo escultórico localizado actualmente en el museo de Cádiz.

“…The aim of this paper has been to determine the geological and geographic provenance of the marble used in 19 Roman sculptures from the Imperial period, found in the Roman city of Asido (present-day Medina Sidonia, Cádiz, Spain). Previously, work has been carried out on the portrait statue of Livia, including the study of the marble support (Ontiveros et al 2020) and the traces of polychromy (Odriozola et al 2022).…”
