Sumario:This article presents the results of the research project on Roman sarcophagi in the Iberian Peninsula HAR2017–84907-P (2018–2022), through which 131 pieces have been catalogued. It has been proven that this type of sepulcher was imported and used from the 1st century CE until the 4th century in Hispania, when the use of the sarcophagus with Christian iconography became widespread, and that its reuse from late antiquity onwards was for sepulchral and antiquarian purposes, as was usually the case.
