Collection of La Casa de Velazquez. Volume 141. The purpose of this book is to present the development of an ancient city, located 30 km north of Alicante, occupied from the Orientalizing period to the Roman Empire. A Franco-Spanish team mobilized for this purpose old maps, land registers, aerial photographs, the results of dozens of preventive archaeology operations and conducted the excavation on the Cape of Malladeta, on the southern border of the territory of the city, which functioned from the 4th century BC until the municipalization of the city around 70 AD. The rituals are studied here, in particular the numerous offerings of terracotta incense burners, the pebeteros, preserved in a built complex whose organization cannot be identified with that of a habitat and is more akin to that of a sanctuary. The analysis of the furniture also allows us to see how much this maritime city consumed a variety of products: Greek or Italic tableware and a wide variety of Punic-type tableware.
