Castro de Monte Mozinho

O Castro de Monte Mozinho, situado no concelho de Penafiel, é um importante povoado fortificado, um dos maiores castros romanizados da Península Ibérica, ocupando cerca de 22 hectares. Habitado entre os séculos I a.C. e V d.C., na transição da Idade do Ferro para o período romano, apresenta uma organização urbana notável, com casas circulares e retangulares, ruas e muralhas concêntricas, refletindo a fusão de tradições castrejas e romanas. A sua localização estratégica, no vale do rio Sousa, permitia o controlo de rotas comerciais. Os vestígios arqueológicos, incluindo alicerces em pedra de habitações e espaços comunitários como uma acrópole (espaço para assembleias e mercados), são parcialmente visíveis, mesmo com a vegetação que se sobrepõe a algumas estruturas. O castro exemplifica a organização espacial dos assentamentos pré-romanos e romanos, demonstrando a adaptação das comunidades ao território e a influência da romanização na região.

The Castro de Monte Mozinho, located in the municipality of Penafiel, is an important fortified settlement, one of the largest Romanized forts on the Iberian Peninsula, occupying about 22 hectares. Inhabited between the 1st century BC and the 5th century AD, in the transition from the Iron Age to the Roman period, it presents a remarkable urban organization, with circular and rectangular houses, streets and concentric walls, reflecting the fusion of Castrean and Roman traditions. Its strategic location in the Sousa river valley allowed for the control of trade routes. The archaeological remains, including stone foundations of dwellings and community spaces such as an acropolis (space for assemblies and markets), are partially visible, even with the vegetation that overlaps some structures. The Castro exemplifies the spatial organization of pre-Roman and Roman settlements,
demonstrating the adaptation of communities to the territory and the influence of Romanization in the region.

This fragment of the Gutenberg Bible contains the complete Epistle of Paul to the Romans, printed on paper in 1455. A detailed examination of the pages shows that the 42-line text is printed on paper featuring three of the four known Gutenberg watermarks (both oxen and one of the grape clusters). This piece is one of the "Noble Fragments" sold by Gabriel Wells in Boston in 1921, originating from an incomplete Gutenberg Bible.
