Abstract
We investigate the double duality ansatz of the Poincare gauge theory of gravitation. It is shown that many known exact solutions belong, as special cases, to larger families of solutions. These families of sol utions include several arbitrary functions and can be generated by a t ransformation which is a Lorentzian rotation of the connection with fi xed tetrad. Several new spherically symmetric and wavelike exact solut ion are presented.
