Abstract

Frankincense in late antique monastic contexts is analysed in Hispania. It is possible to see the few archaeological testimonies and the low attention given to the matter by archaeologists. However, we notice that the liturgical use of frankincense in the Iberian Peninsula appears always related to oriental clerics and monks, and we also identify a place of production (a monastery) of this substance.
