- The Judgement of Paris and the Los Amores Mosaic in Cástulo (Linares, Spain). An archaeometric analysis.

The working methodology was based on a joint, complementary analysis of individual tesserae and those analysed in situ. The individual tesserae were analysed using micro-Raman spectroscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and the studies in situ were carried out with portable Raman spectroscopy and handheld X-ray fluorescence (hXRF) equipment. The number of tesserae analysed allows us to advance in our interpretation of the repertory of raw materials, chromophores and opacifiers used in the mosaic as a whole. Of particular importance is the number of vitreous tesserae analysed (soda-lime silica type and lead glass type), as little is known about them on the Iberian Peninsula. These data complete our knowledge of one of the least-known periods in terms of the study of this type Roman mosaic in Hispania dated between the late 1st and the 3rd centuries AD.
