Resumo
Until now very little or nothing was known about Late Antiquity contexts in the city of Coimbra. However, the importance of the old city and what is known about the neighboring Conimbriga led us to assume that this absence was merely apparent. This hypothesis was proved true, after a more detailed study of data from the last archaeological interventions at the Museum Machado de Castro and the reexamination of unstudied lots of materials from earlier interventions at the same site. This text presents the data from the few Late Antiquity contexts identified in this remarkable archaeological area. The materials collected are characteristic from the second half of the 4th century and early 6th century AD and they provide the first clues about the commercial dynamics of Aeminium in that period
