He related a dream that had impressed him with its vivacity, about a threat haunting the mountains of the Vascones. Lovecraft as a quaestor, the provincial officials and a cohort of the Twelfth Legion were in the city of Pompelo to face it. The story allows an interesting analysis from multiple points of view: the choice of the names for the characters, the chosen date, the description of the celestial vault, the peculiarities of the Vascones or a real ancient inscription that could be behind the whole plot of the dreamengAttribution 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/LovecraftVasconesRoman provincial administrationPompeloCalagurrisHispania Citeriorinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.34624/agora.v0i21.2224info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
