Abstract
Can Tacó (Montmeló/Montornès del Vallès) is a Roman Republican site dated roughly in the last quarter of the 2nd century B.C., which was initially tagged as a military outpost, a kind of fortified house, but recently has been defined also as an administrative centre. Its location on the top a hill controlling some of the most important hubs of land communication in this region reveals its importance in this period. This paper presents in detail the site, but also includes the study of three exotic amphora stamps, whose origins and dating helps to have a better understanding of the site.
