About this book
Paginas Archeologicas III - Situação conjectural de Talabriga by Félix Alves Pereira invites listeners into a forensic, early-20th-century inquiry into one of Iberia’s lingering Roman mysteries.
This scholarly archaeology and historical research monograph reexamines the debated trajectory of the Roman road linking Aeminium and Calem and proposes a conjectural location for Talabriga. Pereira surveys classical and medieval authors, scrutinizes itineraries and historic maps, and combines topography, onomastics, and the distribution of castros and mining sites to build a layered argument. He engages rival local theories, considers Arabic geographic sources and Moorish strata, and evaluates the Ria de Aveiro and the Vouga river system, always emphasizing that definitive resolution requires in‑field archaeological confirmation. The tone blends meticulous source criticism with a regional, almost detective-like, exploration of landscape and memory.
Ideal for students of archaeology, historians of Roman Iberia, historical cartography enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to academic monographs that read like historical sleuthing, this audiobook offers clear exposition of a complex debate and a window into early modern Portuguese scholarship.
