On 22 and 23 April, Paweł Nowakowski was invited to Tarragona to Universitat Rovira i Virgili and Institut Català d'Arqueologia Clàssica by Professor Diana Gorostidi Pi for the viva of the doctoral thesis by Hugo Feliu Pérez.

Hugo prepared a very detailed study of the tripartite pedestal from the "Officina Lapidaria Tarraconensis", a peculiar type of epigraphic monument from Hispania Citerior. The thesis was accepted cum laude by the tribunal, and the following day, we held the Seminario ArPA&LIRA conference, organised by Diana and Hugo. The visit also provided an opportunity to examine inscriptions scattered across the town, as well as those held in the Biblical Museum of Tarragona and at the cathedral. This collection had previously been the subject of study by Marina Bastero Acha.
