摘要:Representations of hooded individuals or cucullati were frequent in the Roman world. The characteristic cucullus was worn by both male individuals of a low social rank and patricians who wore hoods to avoid being recognised; also divine beings known as genii and other divinities were represented with a hood and cloak-hood, in this case with a special meaning. When studying ancient Hispania , such representations have often gone unobserved due to publication problems rather than to their absence in the archaeological record. A historiographic review of terracotta and bronze figurines or small sculptures of cucullati documented so far in the Iberian Peninsula has made it possible to analyse their origin, character, and the materials used in their manufacturing, in such a way that new knowledge is gained from a context-based analysis.
