Description

Paginas Archeologicas III - Situação conjectural de Talabriga by Felix Alves Pereira is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the conjectural situation of the ancient town of Talabriga, exploring historical geography and the tracing of Roman military roads in Portugal, particularly between Aeminium and Calem. It focuses on archaeological inquiries and interpretations based on ancient texts and local geography, suggesting potential locations for this historical settlement. The opening of the book introduces readers to the complexity of establishing the exact location of Talabriga, a settlement mentioned in Roman itineraries and by ancient authors like Pliny. Pereira begins by discussing the historical context and the geographical challenges that hinder a clear identification of Talabriga, referring to various authors who have previously speculated about its location, primarily focusing on the region surrounding Aveiro and other nearby towns. He emphasizes the need for archaeological verification and provides a detailed examination of ancient sources and local topography to contribute to the understanding of this elusive city within the framework of Lusitanian history.
