Los monumentos funerarios de la Plaza de la Magdalena: un sector de la necrópolis oriental de Corduba

Abstract

In the present work they occur to know part the results obtained in the course of the Preventive Archaeological Activity made in the seat of the Magdalena, corner with the Muñices street, during second half of year 2004 and the consequent Archaeological Control for the drained one of the carried out lot in the first months of 2006. The reference lot is located in the Eastern sector of the city, extrawalls of the Roman Corduba, a zone intensely occupied from the antiquity to the present time. In this occasion we were centered in the monumental funeral phase, defined by the location of a series of dated funeral buildings at tardorrepublicana time. The finding of several fragments of associated pseudoarchitectonic and sculptoric decoration to one of them, indeed the best one conserved, has allowed to reconstruct the appearance of this monument, possibly of aedicula type, aligned, like the rest, with respect to via Augusta vetus to its entrance to the city.
