The preventive archaeological diggings carried out in Barcelona St. (Cabrera de Mar, El Maresme), uncovered a local-common, coarse-tempered oxidant pottery typologically identified as an operculum, dated to the second quarter of the first century B.C. This item had an ante cocturam engraved inscription: a tria nomina A.VAL.A, most probably the name of a roman citizen who lived in the industrial area of what used to be the late republican city of Ilturo.
