Coladores de bronce en el Mediterráneo occidental (s. V-IV a.C.)

Resumen

This paper presents an updated catalogue of pre-Roman metal strainers documented in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim is not only to correctly classify the already published pieces or to make known others that had remained unpublished until now, but also to discuss their provenance. The Etruscan attribution of some, but above all the South Italic attribution of the majority of the catalogued pieces, gives rise to an interesting reflection on the interaction between the Iberian Peninsula and the South Italian Peninsula, which also includes other metallic productions. Without attempting to resolve the mechanism by which the metal strainers in question reached the Iberian Peninsula, we believe that this paper may serve as a useful basis for new paths of future research into commercial aspects as well as those related to mercenarism and technology transfer.
