This paper contains a study of the narration of the naval battles of Roses and the Formigues Islands, transmitted by three fundamental works of Catalan historiography, namely Bernat Desclot's Crònica (1288), the Gesta Comitum (definitive Latin version, early 14th century), and Ramon Muntaner's Crònica (1325-1328). The collation of the different versions of the events described, crucial moments of the crusade against the Catalan-Aragonese Crown (1285), makes it possible to identify the key aspects of the differences considered irreconcilable by the scholars who have studied them previously, to deepen the theme, shed new light on it and suggest a new interpretation.

The aim of this paper is to make some contributions to the subject of Phoenician bronze craftsmanship in the Far West from the study of two well-known metal vases coming from different Mediterranean areas: Iberia and Sardinia. Both vessels are objects so far unique objetcs, although they take their shapes from the most common pottery repertories in their cultural environments. From their similarities and differences some reflections on the different modalities that take the Phoenician colonization and the Orientalizing phenomenon in the western Mediterranean are made.

The study in its findings found out that the residents of Abak were negatively affected in terms of: Industrial problems, Psychosocial effect, Pressure on urban facilities, Standard of living, State of employment and high cost of acquiring land as a result of industrial activities.
