Abstract :In this work we intend to extend the comparative study of the mosaics of Conuentus Bracaraugustanus published in the Corpus to the mosaics from Gallaecia and from other regions of Hispania, particularly from the region between the Ebro and Douro rivers, considering different mosaic workshops operating in these areas. We also register punctual relationships between some compositional schemes, themes and motifs that occur in the mosaics of the Conuentus Bracaraugustanus and some of the north African production. We will complement our study with information that resulted from the continuation of our research and that was provided to us after the publication of the Corpus, in 2019.
