Unpublish Roman handle attachments for fronze situlae with anthropomorphic representation

Abstract

In this paper we present seven handle attachments of bronze situlae, ascribed to the province of Lusitania. The archaeological pieces come from the collection of the Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology of Pather Belda (Alba de Tormes, Salamanca) and the Roman archaeological site of La Vega de Portillo, Ejeme (Salamanca). All the handle attachments show an anthropomorphic decoration and they are grouped in the types I, III and IV from Delgado. In addition, these handle attachments are subjected to comparative analysis with other pieces of similar characteristics found in other archaeological sites in the Iberian Peninsula.
