摘要：We intend with this article to show the evolution of the Roman mining in the
south-western mines of the Iberian Peninsula, its beginning, periods of apogee and contrac-
tion and consequent abandonment, appealing for parallelisms with the appearance in Aljus-
trel of sigillatas from North Africa (ARSW). The existence of commercial exchanges in periods
of great mining production contrasts with its absence in periods of contraction.
