Studies in history and archeology at the universities of Lleida and Barcelona (1976-1981). Doctoral studies at the universities of Barcelona and Autònoma de Barcelona (1982-1983). Professional practice in archeology (1983-1984). FPI scholarship at the University of Lleida (1984-1986). Lecturer in ancient history at the University of Barcelona since 1987. Doctor in prehistory and ancient history in 1991 with a thesis on the late Iberian period in the Ilerget world. Post-doctoral studies at the University Complutense of Madrid and Oxford. Associate professor at the University of Barcelona since 2005. He has directed excavations in the Roman city of Iesso (Guissona, la Segrra), and at the protohistoric sites of Tossal de les Tenalles (Sidamon, Pla d’Urgell) and Fortalesa dels Vilars (Arbeca, Garrigues). He is currently the principal investigator of a research project in the Roman city of Aeso (Isona, Pallars Jussà) and its territory.

Research interests

My lines of interest cover three major chronological periods applied to the territory of the Segre river valley, and sometimes also including neighboring areas: a) the Mediterranean Hispanic populations in the centuries immediately preceding the arrival of the Romans (6th-3rd centuries BC) .), with research in the review of materials in museum collections, the studies of Iberian epigraphy and iconography; b) the transformations experienced during the conquest and early times of Roman rule (2nd-1st centuries BC): studies of the territory, archaeological excavations, review of materials, epigraphy and historical studies; c) the consolidation of Roman culture during the Roman Empire: studies of the territory, archaeological excavations, revision of materials and studies of Latin epigraphy. Complementarily we also developed two other lines of the reception of Antiquity in the cinema and the search for gender applied in ancient history.
