Inscripciones romanas de la Catedral-Magistral de Alcalá de Henares

Resumen: Este artículo da cuenta de ocho epitafios romanos colocados en dos sectores la fachada externa de la Catedral Magistral de Alcalá de Henares y que sin duda proceden de la antigua Complutum. De ellos, cinco son inéditos y de todos, por hallarse colocados a gran altura, se mejoran sus lecturas, descripciones y fotografías. Abstract: This paper deals with eight Roman tombstones discovered recently on the walls of the Cathedral of Alcalá de Henares (Spain) and most likely coming from near-by Roman Complutum. Three were already published, but being all of them placed between 6 and 20 m. over the ground, previous readings were hampered by their difficult access. Thus, measurements, new readings and close pictures obtained from scaffolds are offered for each inscription.

Inscripciones monumentales del siglo VIII (de Cangas a Pravia)

This article gives a first overview of the recovering of the epigraphic practice among Spanish Christians after the Islamic conquest of 711, and it discusses in depth the most important and ambitious inscriptions of the 8th century —all related to religious buildings and to the royal family of the Asturian kingdom—, trying to place them in their historical, cultural, and political contexts. Firstly, it is analyzed the dedication stone of Santa Cruz in Cangas de Onís, commissioned by Favila in 737. The inscription is interpreted here from a liturgical perspective and in a redemptive sense, discarding any kind of political intention. Precisely the opposite occurs in the inscription of Santa Leocadia, attributed by Father Fita to Wimara, the brother of Fruela I brutaly assassinated by the king himself. The inscription was made in the context of the fierce struggle between the two brothers to dominate the territory of Oviedo through the foundation of religious houses, among other strategies. The second half of the article adresses the three inscriptions of Santianes de Pravia, in which the author doesn't see any compelling reason to dismiss their attribution to king Silo and to postpone, accordingly, Santianes construction to the 10th century, as recently proposed. In the event of confirming the ascription of the three texts to Silo, we would be facing the first "epigraphic program" of Medieval Spain and a cycle contemporary and comparable to those of Metz and Salerno, both written by Paul the Deacon and outstanding precursors of the epigraphic revival that occurred in Europe around 800 AD.

Nuevas inscripciones funerarias romanas de Gades

Boletín del Archivo Epigráfico, 2023

En este trabajo se presenta la edición de 43 nuevas inscripciones funerarias procedentes de una intervención arqueológica realizada en los años 2022-2023 en un solar situado en la calle Juan Ramón Jiménez nº3 de la ciudad Cádiz, en la necrópolis de la Gades romana, localizada en la isla de Kotinoussa. La nutrida evidencia epigráfica recuperada en estas excavaciones, de la que se presenta una parte en las líneas que siguen, representa una notable contribución al conocimiento de los usos epigráficos sepulcrales en la ciudad desde mediados del siglo I d. C. hasta el siglo III. Dentro de este ámbito cronológico, las piezas que se presentan ahora contienen, además de las habituales fórmulas funerarias, un significativo repertorio onomástico que viene a enriquecer el conocimiento de la antroponimia local. In this paper is presented the edition of 43 new funerary inscriptions found in an archaeological excavation carried out in the years 2022-2023 in a lot located in the nº3 of the street Juan Ramón Jiménez in the city of Cádiz, inside the necropolis of Roman Gades, located in the islad of Kotinoussa. The abundant epigraphic evidence recovered in these excavations, a part of which is presented in the following lines, represents a notable contribution to the knowledge of the sepulchral epigraphic uses in the city from the middle of the 1st century AD until the 3rd century. Within this chronological period, the pieces presented here contain, in addition to the usual funerary formulae, a significant onomastic repertoire that enriches the knowledge of local anthroponymy.
