Anotace: In this study an analysis was made of 37 samples of tesserae of different shades and colours from

Roman archaeological sites in the province of Salamanca (Spain), where pavements of opus
tessellatum have been located. The tesserae were characterized by Mass Inductively Coupled Plasma
Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Spectrometry, in order to determine their
origin, composition and technique of manufacture. Results could reveal to us the local production of
certain tesserae and the existence of a commercial network through the Via de la Plata and its main
roads in the Iberian Peninsula.
