A Roman Mosaic Unearthed in Armazéns Sommer (Lisbon). Archaeology and Iconography
Abstract
Aiming the construction of a new hotel (Hotel Cais de Santarém) using the previous basement of the large storage
known as Sommer, located in Rua Cais de Santarém, nºs 40 up to 64, and limited by Rua de São João da
Praça northwards and by Travessa de São João da Praça eastwards, in the city of Lisbon, a large amount of
archaeological contexts were uncovered that uniquely illustrate the stratification of the city of Lisbon between
the Iron Age and the first half of the 20th century. Concerning Roman urban contexts was found a domus with
rooms well preserved with painted walls plaster and a pavement covered with mosaic. In this paper the authors
will present the monument and further discussions will take place on excavation levels, iconographic and architectural
features.
