Architecture, Landscape and Skyscape of the Singular Monument of Sala de Moros (Argamasilla de Calatrava, Ciudad Real-Spain)
Sala de Moros is a singular Protohistoric monument in Argamasilla de Calatrava (Ciudad Real, Spain), located at the top of a hill with great visibility across the territory. It is appreciably different from the most significant constructions in the nearby area, and consists of rectangular building containing a T- shaped chamber, covered by big orthostats of quartzite and surrounded by a wall that defined a sacred precinct. This paper presents the…

An Archaeology of the Sky in Gaul in the Augustan Period
Ancient Gaul was transformed during the reign of Augustus (r. 31 BC–14 AD) through a major programme of city building. The new Roman cities were constructed according to topographic, health and ritual considerations, and we hypothesise that their orientations also reflect distinct celestial conceptions held by the Gauls and by the Roman emperor Augustus. Our study of the orientation of 60 cities verifies the existence of coherent patterns, and di…
The Winter Solstice as a Roman Cultural Fingerprint from the Mythical Origins of Rome to Augustus
The winter solstice shaped Rome and its landscape from the ancestral cult of Saturnus as primordial god of the Roman territory before the city’s founding to its use by Augustus as one of the signs of his multiple celestial and solar connections. The important feasts around this date are well known and, in this paper, we propose to demonstrate how some significant public monuments, possibly from the origins of Rome and certainly from during August…
Megalitismo y arqueoastronomía en la comarca de Los Pedroches (Córdoba, Andalucía-España)
Los Pedroches es uno de los territorios andaluces más septentrionales, en la frontera con Extremadura y Castilla-La Mancha. Sobre unos suelos poco aptos para el cultivo, pero muy favorables para la explotación ganadera, se encuentran una serie de manifestaciones megalíticas diseminadas, poco conocidas y apenas estudiadas. El estudio de las orientaciones astronómicas de monumentos megalíticos permite verificar su alineación con algunos días partic…
Determinación de orientaciones de ciudades romanas por medio de la varatio
En el presente artículo se aborda la tan debatida cuestión de las orientaciones de ciudades romanas combinando dos procedimientos: un análisis estadístico de las orientaciones de una muestra significativa de ciudades romanas en la península ibérica, y los resultados de una investigación basada en la experimentación y reconstrucción de instrumental de agrimensura romana. En concreto, se busca reforzar, o rechazar, la hipótesis del empleo de la var…
Estimating the Reliability of Digital Data Acquisition in Cultural Astronomy
Digital tools are increasingly used in cultural astronomy, so that it is now more important than ever to assess their precision and reliability, and to identify what uncertainties they may introduce. The present work aims to address these issues by comparing a dataset of orientations of Roman cities in the Iberian Peninsula measured in situ with measurements of the same structures obtained through different digital tools. By this, it is possible …
«Orientatio ad sidera»
Archaeological investigations in Cartagena –the ancient Punic Qart Hadašt, Roman Carthago Nova– have manifested the existence of ritual, urban and topographical elements that could be analyzed from the perspective of Cultural Astronomy. Therefore, in October 2013, an interdisciplinary team of astronomers and archaeologists conducted a field campaign of the main topographic and archaeological landmarks of the Punic and Roman periods of the city. M…
