Abstract

This article presents two pottery moulds, the so called “kuchenformen”, retrieved in the archaeological excavations carried out in the Archaeological Park of Molinete (Cartagena, Spain). These objects were found at the insula IV of the “Barrio del Foro”, located at the foot of the south-eastern slope of the arx Hasdrubalis, between the Roman Forum and the sanctuary of Isis and Serapis. The archaeological research suggests that these artefacts are a special type of tools used in the Roman bakeries (pistrina) dated during the second half of the 2nd and the middle of the 3rd century ad. We study their iconography, that included a scene of ludi circenses and a leporid.
