Abstract:
The following work deals with the study of the hermaic supports from Hispania with the intention of seeing to what extent this epigraphic-sculptural model could be extended, profounding in its production aspects with the interest of identifying the workshops where they were created. For this purpose, a study of its functionality, forms, materials and inscriptions has been carried out, accompanied by a catalog, which includes all the supports for decorative busts of Hispania, which allows the comparison between the different specimens. The final goal is to recognize the geographical frame in which they were erected and the functionality assumed by this kind of sculptural support.
