Theodosian virtual reality to
revitalise Coca (Segovia, Spain)
IIE University and the Town Council are planning
a historical interpretation centre in a former hospital
with European funds to create a self-sufficient cultural
industry
EL NORTE DE CASTILLA: 08/09/2024
Coca is not just another village that is inexorably
falling below the 2.000 population barrier. Its glorious
past in Roman times is a weapon to create a profitable
cultural industry in the 21st century. IE University,
which is preparing a virtual reality project in the old

Herrera de Pisuerga, a major
importing centre in the north-west of the peninsula. The
evidence of the amphorae from San Millán
Zephyrus. Journal of Prehistory and Archaeology
AMARC-IEU: 24/07/2024
The variety and quantity of amphorae found at the site
of San Millán make it the excavation with the highest
density of this type of remains documented so far in the
archaeological complex of Herrera de Pisuerga
(Palencia). This study shows the rich variety of their
types, as well as their places of origin: Tarraconense
and Baetica provinces, Aegean Sea and eastern
Mediterranean, Italian peninsula -Adriatic and
Tyrrhenian coasts-, Gallia -Narbonese area- and regional
productions.
On the other hand, we try to explain how the products
contained in these amphorae were supplied to the camp of
the legio IIII Macedonica in Herrera de Pisuerga, as
well as the routes followed, analyzing the commercial
relations and the characteristics of their transport.

Two italian arretine sigillata
"molioli" from Herrera de Pisuerga
Magazine of the Institute of Prehistory and
Archeology Sautuola
AMARC-IEU: 19/04/2024
The article by PhD. Cesáreo Pérez, published in
scientific magazine
Sautuola's tribute dedicated to Ramón Bohigas Roldán
(1956-2018), focuses its attention towards the study of
two high imperial ceramic vessels found during
archaeological excavations at Herrera de Pisuerga
(Palencia, Spain). Both vessels were made in M.
Perennius’ workshop in Arezzo (Italy) and are a very
rare type of find for a location so far away from Italy.
According to the archaeological context in which these
“modiolo” ceramics appeared, it is very likely that they
were used by the Legio IIII Macedonica officials in the
1st century BC.
