De contexto religioso a contexto civil – A descoberta de um friso visigótico em Évora

Abstract

In 2019, during the rehabilitation project of the building located between Rua Miguel Bombarda, Rua da Misericórdia and Travessa das Peras, in Évora, a set of archaeological materials that range from Late Antiquity to the Modern Period were collected. From this set of materials, a frieze from the Visigothic period was chosen for study, dating from the 6th to 7th centuries AD, which was found completely out of context, in the building’s courtyard. In this sense, the present study offers a formulation of an analysis and interpretation of its function, typology and evidenced morphology, in order to promote a decorative-style and chronological framwork, through parallels found and already studied on peninsular territory.
