Item Contribution to the corpus of the Roman Mosaics of Conuentus Bracaraugustanus: Study of the geometric mosaic of the Roman Villa of Sendim, Felgueiras, Porto, Portugal(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2019-10-02) Wrench, Licínia; Pinto, Marcelo Mendes; Abraços, FátimaThe objective of our work is to study for the frst time a Roman mosaic from the Roman Villa of Sendim, within the framework of a project coordinated by Fátima Abraços. This project aims to survey and analyse the Roman mosaics belonging to the Conuentus Bracaraugustanus, whose capital city was Bracara Augusta. The Villa, in the parish of Sendim, Felgueiras, Porto, is part of the mentioned Conuentus. Its excavation began in 1992, with the uncovering of several compartments of a domus and of structures belonging to the balnea. Later, the musealisation of the archaeological site was carried out with the conservation in situ of the mosaic fragments found in a cubiculum. The collected archaeological material established the occupation of the Villa between the 1st and 6th centuries AD. It also ascertained that the domus had a phase of restructuring and expansion between the end of the 3rd century and the end of the 4th century. This would correspond to the completion of the analysed mosaic.Item The decorative repertoire of the mosaics from the Conuentus Bracaraugustanus and their relationships with other mosaics of Hispania(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2022-08-25) Abraços, Maria de Fátima; Wrench, LicíniaIn this work we intend to extend the comparative study of the mosaics of Conuentus Bracaraugustanus published in the Corpus to the mosaics from Gallaecia and from other regions of Hispania, particularly from the region between the Ebro and Douro rivers, considering different mosaic workshops operating in these areas. We also register punctual relationships between some compositional schemes, themes and motifs that occur in the mosaics of the Conuentus Bracaraugustanus and some of the north African production. We will complement our study with information that resulted from the continuation of our research and that was provided to us after the publication of the Corpus, in 2019.
