Lecture: Spolia: reuse and recycling in Roman construction. By Josep Anton Remolà, archaeologist and curator of Collections and Research of the National Archaeological Museum of Tarragona (MNAT) and the Catalan Agency for Cultural Heritage (ACdPC).
Examples of reuse and recycling within the scope of Roman architecture are frequent. Based on several examples from Tarraco, we will try to trace the general lines of these processes during different periods of its urban history. From the first moments of the Roman presence, where they are practically imperceptible, until the late Roman period, when reuse and recycling become almost a characteristic of the period.
