Abstract The traditional role attributed to the external porch of the macellum (the most representative commercial building in the Roman world) as an element hiding the market building should be revisited. [...]several examples demonstrate that this type of porch underlined the presence of the macella in their urban landscape by its design and decoration: the porch of the façade was conceived both as an element linked to urban planning and as a representation of a complex system (city, macellum, visual propaganda, ideology, culture). For this reason, this characteristic architectural structure, when it was included in the urban plan, highlighted the building of the Roman market instead of hiding it and allowed its approval and homologation by the citizens. Es un hecho ampliamente aceptado que Los pórticos siempre han tenido una importancia crucial en la síntesis social y cultural de la arquitectura romana -más evidente aún en el ámbito provincial-, así como que han sabido conservar a lo largo del tiempo esta prerrogativa casi inalterable, incluso ampliándola en ciertos aspectos (Corbeill, 2002; 2004; Frakes, 2009; Dey, 2015, p. 47).

Descripcion de la ciudad y provincia de Tlaxcala (1581-1585), a Tlaxcalan manuscript that contains homologous images to the ones in Lienzo de Tlaxcala (of which there are only modern copies in existence), was found in 1976 and published in three modern editions since 1981. Even though this sixteenth-century manuscript offers authentic images on the history of colonial Tlaxcala, literary critics and historians continue to use the Lienzo de Tlaxcala copied by the painter Genaro Lopez and edited by Alfredo Chavero in 1892. To develop a critique of these methodological practices through the consideration of the historical and ideological context of production of the Lienzo de Tlaxcala under the Porfirian state, this work identifies and examines a critical difference between both codices that has not been discussed by experts before: the reformulation, by Porfirian intellectuals and artists, of a sixteenth-century Tlaxcalan discourse of conquest that silences or erases fundamental aspects of that local historical narration. This article argues that our Lienzo de Tlaxcala is Descripcion de la ciudad y provincia de Tlaxcala and that the 1892 edition of the Lienzo by Chavero responds, rather, to the interests of nationalistic and propagandistic projects by the Mexican modern state under the Porfiriato.

La Descripción de la ciudad y provincia de Tlaxcala (1581–1585), un manuscrito tlaxcalteco que contiene imágenes homólogas al Lienzo de Tlaxcala (del que solo existen copias pero no el original), fue encontrado en 1976 y publicado en tres ediciones y reimpresiones modernas a partir de 1981. Aunque este manuscrito del siglo XVI ofrece imágenes auténticas al investigador, la práctica corriente sigue siendo la consulta o uso asiduos de las imágenes del Lienzo de Tlaxcala publicado por Alfredo Chavero en 1892. Como intervención ante estas prácticas metodológicas, y tomando como punto de partida el contexto ideológico de producción de la copia del Lienzo de Tlaxcala publicada por Alfredo Chavero, este artículo identifica y examina una diferencia fundamental entre ambos códices no discutida por expertos hasta ahora: una reformulación del discurso tlaxcalteca de conquista por intelectuales del Porfiriato que silencia o borra aspectos fundamentales de la narración histórica tlaxcalteca según presentada en el siglo XVI. Finalmente, este trabajo argumenta que nuestro Lienzo de Tlaxcala del siglo XVI es la Descripción de la ciudad y provincia de Tlaxcala y que la edición de Chavero responde, más bien, a los proyectos nacionalistas y propagandistas del estado moderno mexicano durante el Porfiriato.
