Um Horreum Augustano na Foz do Douro (Monte do Castelo de Gaia, Vila Nova de Gaia)

The archaeological excavation carried out between February 2016 and November 2018 by Era Arqueologia S.A. in the Northeast side of Monte do Castelo de Gaia, highlighted a wide occupational sequence whose genesis dates back to the 4th century BC. and that it extended until the 20th century. Of the most relevant occupations within this wide diachrony (iron age, roman and medieval), we have now chosen to focus on the one that seems most significant to us, since it is unprecedented in this geographical scope: a large rectangular building with approximately 300 square meters, dated from 30 to 15 BC that we interpret as a Horreum, which may have been built in the context of the campaigns related to the pacification of Northern Hispania undertaken by Augustus.
