Resumo: Recent archaeological work in the Alca~ova de Santarem (1994-96), on an estate.which was being transformed into a Touristic Development, revealed the podium of a Roman Temple. The most important feature consists of an almost square construction. measuring 15.45 x 15.25 meters, corresponding to 52 Roman feet; the best preserved facade has a maximum height of 4 meters. On account of the continual occupation of this area. several parts of the temple were destroyed. Material culture related to the podium allows its construction to be dated in the last quarter of the I" century B.C. Given that it is so rare and well preserved. the importance of this feature is unquestionable in the context of classical architecture in the Iberian Peninsula. Similar temples can be found throughout the Roman empire and the historic context in which the Roman temple of Scallabis was built is analysed using both the archaeological and literary data available.

A estrutura consiste numa construção maciça, de forma geral quadrangular, que mede 15.45x 15.25m, o que corresponde a cerca de 52 pés romanos. A fachada melhor conservada possui de altura máxima 4 m. A ocupa~ao continuada do sítio foi certamente responsável pelas grandes destruições que o templo veio a sofrer. A cultura material recuperada, aquando das escavações, permitiu-nos datar a sua construção do ultimo quartel do século I a.c. Neste trabalho, ensaiam-se interpretações para a sua edificação, não perdendo de vista os dados que as fontes clássicas nos transmitiram sobre Scallabis. e ainda os que os trabalhos de arqueologia nos proporcionaram. Deu-se particular atenção à cronologia e 11 tipologia dos templos semelhantes no contexto do império romano.ADECAPRepositório da Universidade de LisboaArruda, Ana MargaridaViegas, Catarina2018-12-04T14:12:57Z19991999-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/35607engArruda, A.
