Héroes, guerreros, caballeros, oligarcas: Tres nuevos vasos singulares ibéricos procedentes de Libisosa

Abstract

This article aims to highlight the iconographic analysis of a collection of vases decorated with figurative paintings, all of them coming from closed finds located in the Libisosa's oppidum in Iberian Oretania, which were destroyed during the first third of the 1st century B.C. Through this pottery, the Iberian aristocracy, in a very romanised phase, tries to evoke a faraway and heroic past, based on the warrior ideal as the basis of the new lineage, as well as a mechanism for the self-affirmation in the face of the new Roman order.
