This collection of articles written by Robert Etienne, dedicated to the Iberian Peninsula under the Roman Empire, covers the main fields of his studies: religion and especially imperial cult, which also was the topic of his doctoral thesis; society and history, dominated by the studies of senators and sociability’s tools like tessera hospitalis; epigraphy, the basis of all his works which cemented a research team in Spain and Portugal around him and the PETRAE software.
With more interpretative than descriptive archaeology, the author manages to reach again, on the one hand, religion, thanks to Conimbigra’s excavations and its monumental centre, and on the other hand, economy, enlightened by São Cucufate’s excavations (Beja) and the study of the amphorae and their painted inscriptions. In the latter field, his research has led to a synthetic vision of the three main products of Roman Hispania’s economy – wine, brine, and oil – which are also three fundamental vectors of Roman civilization. With Hispanic oil, published in 2004, he completed his very first article published in 1949 on the amphorae of Testaccio, fifty-five years after a rich and diverse scientific life.
