La arquitectura doméstica urbana de las ciudades occidentales del Conventus Hispalensis: un ejercicio de crítica historiográfica

The domestic architecture of the western cities of Conventus Hispalensis remains an open line of research still being developed. So, even though there is a previous archaeological literature, there had not been a study establishing a comprehensive overview that integrates de analysis of its architecture, ornamental program, material culture and its incorporation into the urban network. All these explanatory factors are currently of great interest due to the importance of the domestic architecture in Hispania in the past decades (Corrales, 2012, 256). Therefore, the generation of a theoretical framework (Wallace-Hadrill, 1997, 219) was necessary in order to globally understand the urban domestic architecture in the ancient cities of the territory of Huelva. Thanks to new archaeological evidence, this could lead to a renewed interpretative approach.

La inscripción de P. Porcius Sisenninus: nuevo testimonio evergético en el territorio onubense

This article discusses a new inscription, recently found in the city of Huelva. The inscription, on a pedestal or cylindrical altar, athough incomplete, is very well preserved. This inscription must be connected with the process of municipalization that occurred in the second half of the first century A.D. in the southern part of Huelva (« Tierra Llana»), in which the local elite played an important role. They were well represented in its « tria nomina», as in the case of P Porcius Sisenninus.
