Abstract
This paper focuses on scientific analysis of roman tesserae from Palencia and León. Almost all the analysed materials resulted to be performed in variscite mineral. During roman times there are two different moments of use of this semiprecious stone: high roman period, when it was used to perform body ornamentation, and late roman period, when it use was reduced to tesserae production. We have also performed source analysis by comparing the obtained compositional data with Iberian ancient mines data.
