Abstract


An interpretation is given of a new Iberian ceramic vase from the Sertorian period, discovered in the Plaza de Cisneros in Valencia. The frieze of animals decorating both sides shows a prodigium, alluding to the history of the oppidum and the agri of Valentia, perhaps an original thematic image. This vase allows an interpretation of the new iconography of metamorphosis and shows us the metaphorical and political use of nature by the powers in the Iberian Hellenistic period.
