Abstract

Several recent excavations at the Lusitanian site of Conimbriga (central Portugal) have revealed consistent public and domestic investment during post-Roman phases. One of the better preserved Visigothic buildings is of a defensive nature, and took advantage of both the hilltop and the existing Late Roman wall.
