Sumario:In this work we study the collection of marble discovered in the Hadrianean monument known as “Traianeum de Italica” (Andalusia, Spain). The monument, a sanctuary devoted to the imperial cult, offers a great variety of marble typologies coming from different regions of the Roman territory. The typological identification has been achieved through macroscopic analysis of the colored ornamental rocks, and by the application of archeometric techniques to white marbles and to those pieces that could lead to misinterpretations. In this research, our focus will be on those pieces that present a number of singularities, on the enumeration of the types of marmora found, the proportion of the materials showed by conserved and catalogued pieces, and the regions from where those materials came.
