This volume focuses on the study of the geometric designs documented in the mosaics of the Conventus Astigitanus, one of the four conventi iuridici of Roman Baetica. This study is part of a much broader undertaking, the primary objective of which is the analysis of the geometric mosaic designs of the province as a whole.The number of mosaics in the Conventus Astigitanus, and the larger number still documented in other areas of Baetica, place this province among those with the highest count of mosaics in the Roman world providing evidence of the level of cultural and economic power enjoyed by the province over the centuries.As a whole, this study makes an absolutely necessary contribution to the understanding of Roman mosaics in general and Hispanic mosaics in particular, based on an innovative and unprecedented approach in Spain. It includes a very significant number of designs and provides the basis for a completely open catalogue, to which new models may be added as they become available through the continual study of new mosaics. This catalogue ultimately aims to become a reference for the study of geometric mosaics and compositions in the Roman world. Moreover, the value of the present volume also lies in the contribution that is offered to a topic, the analysis of geometric composition, which is of great interest beyond the author’s specific field of study. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

Construction Process in Historical Western Societies (6th C. BC – 10th C. AD) brings together studies devoted to the management of material resources in the architecture of Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, exploring how past societies obtained, transformed, and reused materials intended for construction. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the book connects archaeology, geology, economic history, and architectural analysis in order to understand the processes that made possible the building of cities and monuments.
The contributions examine the supply chains of stone, marble, and other resources; the techniques of extraction and carving; the organization of construction workshops; and the long-distance circulation of materials. A cross-cutting theme is the reuse of ancient architectural elements, a phenomenon that reveals both economic strategies and cultural and symbolic changes in the use of urban space.
The volume is characterized by the application of innovative methodologies that combine archaeometric analyses, quarry surveys, the study of tool marks, and digital documentation tools. This diversity of approaches makes it possible to reconstruct more precisely the construction processes and production systems associated with historical architecture.
Beyond providing new data, the book proposes future lines of research focused on the comparative study of supply networks, the experimental reconstruction of ancient techniques, and the use of digital technologies to model construction processes. Taken together, it offers a broad and up-to-date view of past architecture as the result of interrelated technical, economic, and social decisions.
