Investigates the significance of the Berlanga Cup in Roman military history, suggesting valuable insights into Hadrian's Wall.
The Berlanga Cup is the second piece found in Hispania of the type known as the Hadrian’s Wall series. Despite its artistic interest, it bears important information about the Wall, since it is the only element of the series that mentions the forts located on the eastern side of Hadrian’s Wall. This study encompasses research on epigraphy, archaeometry, the virtualisation of the piece, and the survey of its context with a GPR and an artefactual survey. Arguments are provided regarding use as gifts purchased by their owner or given to him to commemorate his military career, perhaps linked to the Corhors I Celtiberorum , which would later accompany him on his return to his place of origin in Roman Celtiberia.
