Resumen
- This paper presents the results of an examination of the different types of marble found in the excavations of the Ruscino forum. Special attention has been paid to the material used for inscribed plaques and architectural decoration, which date from the first half of the 1st century AD and reflects the predominance of imported "marmora" for the public decorative programmes of the Augustan and Julio-Claudian periods.
