Abstract
Edition and study of five documents (three letters and two drawings) signed by Juan Fernandez Gil y Casal, 1909 - 1917, reveal the complete text, the physical characteristics as well as the circumstances of the discovery of a Roman altar that was found in 1890 in Trabanca da Torre (Vilagarcia de Arousa, Pontevedra), that disappeared before 1909. This early disappearance leads some researchers to question their existence, and it also explains the news that were published in the twentieth century about the altar which have been limited to tangential references or incomplete transcriptions, without any attention to the physical characteristics of the piece. The only aim of this collaboration, which excludes reviews or textual interpretations, is to present the five documents (four that are not still published and another one that has been recently published in 2012) which are preserved in Museo do Pobo Galego, Real Academia Galega and Museo de Pontevedra, documents that can serve as an indirect source for the study of Trabanca’s altar stone until its recovery as we hope.
