Resumen
This article deals with the sculptures from funerary contexts of Tarraco, capital of the province Hispania citerior. These are funerary portraits which were placed in Roman times in their respective funerary monuments. The aim is to obtain a more precise reconstruction of the funerary landscape of Tarraco from the preserved sculptures. For this purpose, data on their finding circumstances are mainly considered. We also reflect on its chronology, iconography, and raw material. Most of the funerary portraits come from the area of the early Christian necropolis, where they had been reused. The provenance of another group of statues is unknown, although they most likely come from the former area. We also know a bust of the Hadrian period from a different area of the town. Most of the sculptures are made of local stones and date back to the second half of the first century BC. The remaining portraits and iconic torsos belong to different moments of the High Empire and are carved in marble. The latter generally are preserved in worse condition due to their reuse in the tombs of the Late Antique period.
