Abstract
Study of the iconographical program of the sculptural complex of Porcuna (Jaen, Spain) (2nd half of the 5th. c. B.C.), closely related to the history of the aristocratic group who rules this iberian oppidum. The sculptures reflect metaphorically the mythical territory of ancient Obulco and its richness. The orientalizing past is alluded as a part of the aristocratic history. Gender and age groups reflect the oikos´ life. Hunting and wrestling show the education of the youth. The group of warriors evoques a widespread knowledge of epic motifs in the Mediterranean. A common language of nature and power is shared by the Iberian princes.
