• Resumen

  • The excavation of the plot of the former Jaume I School has provided a stratigraphic sequence that tells us of a long period of occupation between the Republican period and the present day. Although no structures were documented in the Late Roman contexts, they did give us the marble assemblage that is the object of this study. The majority of the coloured marble plaques found in the excavations belong to the types of marble and ornamental stone most commonly used in Roman imperial forums. This circumstance, together with the dating of the levels in which the marble fragments were found, suggests that the pieces were probably from the Tarraco Provincial Forum
