“…Its urban layout is still largely unknown, but it had an exceptional defensive system (with several fortified entrances, many flanking towers, posterns, a bastion, etc.) (Guàrdia 2019). Another example could be the second-order Cessetanian settlement of Masies de Sant Miquel (Banyeres del Penedès), if future excavations confirm that it had very powerful fortifications, as suggested by archaeological soundings and geophysical explorations, which have already defined the site as a second-order town covering 2.5 ha Sanmartí et al in this volume).…”

"This publication arises from the need, in the opinion of the editors, to move towards a definition of the city as an instrument for analysing the urbanization phenomena in protohistory. The 24th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeology (EAA) held in Barcelona in September 2018 offered an opportunity to reflect on this subject and to analyse the elements that characterized the protohistoric city using various models and case studies in the area of the Iberian culture, as well as in Mediterranean Gaul. The result is the thirteen contributions that make up this book, one of which is a theoretical reflection written by the editors on the concept of the city, while the rest focus on territories, sites or specific questions. The reader will find in this volume a compendium of research relating to the formation and development of cities in Iberia and south-eastern Gaul. From the mid-first millennium BC, the peoples living in this area of the western Mediterranean developed settlement patterns based on the existence of urban sites, that probably emerged in response to population growth, technological development and increasing social complexity. However, there are considerable regional differences with regard to the chronology of these processes, as well as the nature of the emerging settlement patterns, including the size and shape of the urban sites. In some regions, the urban phenomenon appeared very late and was clearly less developed. This indicates the existence of a variety of forms of sociopolitical organization and particular historical processes within the general demographic increase and growing social and political complexity in the study area during the Iron Age. The aim of the articles selected for inclusion in this volume is to reflect this dichotomy: on the one hand, the generalization of the urban phenomenon and, on the other, the different solutions that arose in particular regional contexts."

En 2018 se recuperó una nueva tessera lusoria procedente del foro de Pollentia, sumándose a otro ejemplar hallado durante las excavaciones antiguas de la ciudad romana. Esta ficha de juego en hueso presenta inscripción en tan solo una de las dos caras, un tipo anómalo entre este conjunto de instrumenta. Su presencia en el asentamiento y sus paralelos permiten definir estos elementos de juego como un marcador de personal itálico en los asentamientos republicanos de finales de siglo II a inicios de siglo I a. C. Asimismo, este tipo de material, excepcional en Hispania, permite definir las escurridizas etapas iniciales de Pollentia en un contexto hispano más amplio.

Finds pertaining to board games have been discovered during excavations in the northern Italian town of Cremona. Some objects were found in the recently published Piazza Marconi dig, in contexts belonging to three domus dated between the late Republic and the early Empire (40 BC - 69 AD). Thirteen black and white glass counters and two ivory dice were found in the remains of a wooden chest of drawers or cabinet in a probable service room of the “Domus del ninfeo”. A bone “Alexandrian” counter incised with a bird in flight and, on the reverse, the Roman numeral II and the Greek number B (beta) was found in the destruction levels following the drastic siege of Cremona by Vespasian troops during the civil war of 69 AD. Finally, a bone token in the form of an elongated parallelepiped (so-called tessera lusoria) with the word FICOSE inscribed on one side and the Roman numeral XIV on the other was found in the construction trench of an early Imperial house discovered during excavations underneath the Cathedral of Cremona. The paper will discuss in detail the finds, their contexts and their meanings.
