  Olivia Reyes reveals the secrets of the Roman villas of Segovia
The IE University professor publishes a study about the Late Antiquity rural homesteadsy

EL NORTE DE CASTILLA: 10/05/2022
PhD Olivia Reyes Hernando, professor at the IE University Archeology Unit, has just published the first comparative study of the Roman villas in Segovia province. This recent innovative research, which comes to light, provides new keys to understanding the Roman presence in this area of the Iberian Peninsula during Late Antiquity.
According to Prof. Reyes, these IVth century BCE huge residential properties share common elements that distinguished them from other Castilia and Leon Roman villas, even from Hispania, as the prevalence of triple apses in some of their halls or other particular decorative elements come from the East part of the Empire.
