Aportación al estudio de la decoración arquitectónica en la Península Ibéricalas basas del entorno de Carthago Nova

Resum

The study of the architectural decoration of Carthago Nova has made it possible to confirm the early introduction of building models and programmes associated with the use of architectural orders and the close relationship established with the central and south-eastern regions from the 2nd century BC. This confirms the conclusions obtained through the study of painting and mosaics. This article goes beyond the urban perimeter and extends to the territory with a certain dependency to the port city, where, possibly, specialized workshops from there were active. In this sense, studies of architectural decoration have focused mainly on the urban sphere, which is the reason why with this work we wish to draw attention to the need to cover wider spaces that allow us to correlate city and territory, studying materials that are sometimes decontextualized, but no less interesting, to obtain a comprehensive view of Roman architecture in Hispania.
