O Penedo dos Lobos: Roman military activity in the uplands of the Galician Massif (Northwest Iberia)

Abstract: A new Roman military site was recently detected in Galicia, Spain, an area where the army presence had been challenging to trace until date. O Penedo dos Lobos is a playing-card shaped camp with very distinctive, fortified entrances. The archaeological survey conducted on this site in the summer of 2018 allowed us to recover some elements of Roman militaria, as well as numismatic evidence dating back to late 1 st c. BC, thus suggesting a connection with the Cantabrian-Asturian Wars of Augustan times. However, … Show more

“…The research carried out in Alto da Raia, Sueros de Cepeda, and the siege of Cerro de Castarreño benefited from a coordinated strategy in which geophysical prospection and excavation were carried out under the same premises. This initiative laid its foundations in the experience acquired after a decade of archaeological projects exploring different methodologies for studying archaeological features in north-western Iberia [4,49].…”

“…En este sentido destacan los avances en recopilatorios de escala peninsular (Morillo Cerdán, 2003;2009;Morillo et al, 2020;Fabião, 2007;Morillo y Aurrecoechea, 2006;Cadiou y Navarro Caballero, 2014), o centrado en amplias áreas de trabajo, donde obviamente la implantación militar romana se produce en momentos históricos dispares, desde finales del siglo III a. C. hasta las guerras contra cántabros y astures a finales del siglo I a. C. Entre los grupos de trabajo más activos cabe destacar las contribuciones de los investigadores del CCHS del CSIC (i.e. Morillo et al, 2021;Currás, 2020) y del colectivo Roman Army en el noroeste peninsular, en un espacio a caballo entre España y Portugal (Fonte et al, 2021;Menéndez et al, 2020;González Álvarez et al, 2019;Costa et al, 2019), en el centro-norte (Camino Mayor et al, 2015, con una recopilación amplia de casos de estudio; Martín Torres Martínez et al, 2019;Vicente y Díaz, 2021), en el noreste (Principal et al, 2015;Noguera et al, 2016) y en el sur peninsular (Roldán Díez y Adroher, 2019; Bellón et al, 2016). Por lo que respecta al contexto geográfico y temporal más cercano al caso que nos ocupa, contamos con trabajos de síntesis sobre la implantación romana en la conservados, estamos ante un nuevo caso de este tipo de asentamientos, posiblemente de corta duración, si bien no contamos con elementos firmes para acotar con precisión su datación.…”
