When I was a child, I went with my father to the Iruña-Veleia oppidum, near the city where I was born, and I collected mosaic tesserae in the farmlands around the site. They were not coloured, they were white only, simple tesserae to cover commons floors, not taking part any mosaic with any complicated drawing.

Wheat fields around Iruña where completely full of this simple tesserae, and they were stories in villages around the site, that some villagers have find little treasures with roman coins.
