Tormenta romana. Análisis morfológico y funcional de la artillería romana tardorepublicana en el nordeste peninsular

Abstract

This paper pretends to study the use of Roman artillery in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula during the Late Republican period (218 - 45 BC). I analyze the most abundant archaeological evidence, but also the least studied: the projectiles. I propose a typological classification based on their caliber. At the same time I suggest a functional characterization for each of the findings based on their archaeological context and dating.
