Lám. VIA.- Particular del primer jinete y su rostro en el relieve de Almodóvar, Córdoba.

In a publication of 2006 we proposed the possibility that the famous “Iberian relief of Almodovar” was actually a piece of the Visigothic period, taking into account the type of carving, types of work and, only as a last resort, the iconography. Through a comprehensive programme of recovery and restoration of pieces of the Archaeological Museum of Cordoba undertaken during 2009 we have been able to verify that the so-called “relief” is actually, and as mentioned immediately after its discovery, the decorated front of the case of a sarcophagus, confirming that way that we can date back the piece to Late Antiquity, which leads the author to reflect on the limits of iconographic studies.
...
A summary of the dates proposed for this piece, with mention of the problems it entails, can be seen in Noga-Banai (2008: 139, note 85), where the date of the piece dates back to the beginning of the 5th century AD until the 10th century AD, according to the authors.
