[EN] Having been known since the late thirties of the twentieth century, the so called “treasure of Fortios”, originally comprised of eighty-eight gold disks of which sixty-eight have been localized, every one identical, is studied in a perspective that addresses a variety of issues: historiographical, context related, typological, technological, functional, chronological, cultural and symbolic. Supported by yet unpublished or undervalued documentation, and complemented with field study, the authors identified the place and context of the find (in a ceramic container) belonging to this hoard, which can be associated to a high place of a probably habitational nature. Just as with the other comparable disks, the set is assigned to the Early Iron Age, revealing on a technological and stylistic level a new process of manufacture with mass production, the economization of time, and the use of filigree and soldering. It is believed that these delicate pieces were applied over prestigious and perhaps sacred clothing, of high value and related to solar symbolism.
[PT] Conhecido desde finais dos anos trinta do séc. XX, o designado “tesouro de Fortios”, constituído originalmente por oitenta e oito discos de ouro de que se localizaram sessenta e oito, todos iguais, é estudado numa perspectiva que atende a diversas problemáticas: historiográfica, contextual, tipológica, tecnológica, funcional, cronológica, cultural e simbólica. Apoiando-se em documentação inédita ou pouco valorizada, completada com trabalho de campo, os autores identificam o local e contexto de achado (em recipiente cerâmico) deste depósito, que é possível associar a lugar em altura de provável cariz habitacional. Tal como outros discos com os quais se compara, o conjunto é atribuído aos inícios da Idade do Ferro, revelando a nível tecnológico e estilístico uma nova forma de fabrico com produções em série, economia de tempo, uso da filigrana e da solda. Acredita-se que estas delicadas peças seriam aplicadas sobre vestuário de prestígio e, por ventura, também sagrado, de elevado valor conotado com a simbologia solar.
