Las claves del ser humano para ordenar la realidad de su entorno son el espacio y el tiempo. El objetivo de este libro es ver qué espacio se conocía en qué tiempo y la evolución de la imagen de la Península Ibérica desde un punto de vista crítico para ver qué fuentes existen y de qué manera abordaron su confi guración espacial y social de acuerdo a unos propósitos y objetivos cambiantes, a entornos culturalmente diversos y aclarar los tamices que tenemos que tener en cuenta a la hora de tratar con la información etnogeográfi ca de la literatura clásica.
Esta obra supone una recolección de manera crítica de la información geográfica y el tratamiento de la misma para entender su evolución simbólica durante la Antigüedad, además de la imagen generada desde la Edad Media hasta la Posmodernidad. Es de vital importancia comprender y analizar nuestras propias visiones de nuestro pasado para entenderlo, ya que en la creación del mismo hay que admitir el dicotomismo de la pretendida diferencia artifi cial entre objetividad y subjetividad. Es necesario recordar algunas ideas de Edward Said, por otra parte ya visibles en K. Marx, en donde dejaba entrever que el saber no es algo aislado y estanco de la política sino que está “éticamente contaminado” y que es un saber que “sirve para dominar”. Por ello, en nuestra labor de historiadores, hay que salvar el engaño inconsciente explicando las posiciones tomadas al respecto y hacer una Arqueología abiertamente política que supere la pretendida asepsia procesual, evitando así un tan pretendido como falso espacio neutro de enunciación, ya que todo enunciado científi co lleva implícita una ideología. En consecuencia, para buscar la tercera vía y producir interpretaciones objetivables u objetivas, es necesario usar precisamente un método interpretativo que permita enunciar e interpretar.

This book aims to be the continuation of Archaeological Studies of the Vesuvian Area I. Both are collections of research papers -most of them, of Spanish authors- on the sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Stabia and Oplontis. The presented works cover subjects from every humanistic and historical dimension about the ancient cities:
-Strictly archaeological research: typologies of domus, atria, fora, building materials, necropolis.
-Iconographical studies of houses, such as the Villa delle colonne a mosaico, of individual characters as the god Dionysus, of ornithology and of neoclassical painting.
-Philological studies of inscriptions and poems of great Greek and Latin authors.
-Legislative and juridical studies, as the laws about the public roads and pavements.
-Research of daily aspects, as security.
-Historiographical studies.
-Interpretative studies.
-Paleontological and zooarchaeological studies.
-Computer studies: virtual archaeology and the lab Pompeii represents.
-Cinematographic studies.

These archaeological studies offer to provide an alternative tour through Vesuvian cities. One way to see Pompeii, for example, is via its hydraulic systems, from the higher parts to waterlogged landfills at the mouth of Sarno. They invite you to walk the streets amidst the traces of regulation issued in municipal law and the free initiative of those who built and maintained the sidewalks. The graffiti and paintings allow us to take a tour specially designed to understand the tastes and devotions of the inhabitants of the Vesuvian cities. Thus, disparate themes researched separately may be presented here as a coherent work that initiates the visitor into Vesuvian studies. Each author gives us a particular tour of the specifics of the cities and villages of the Vesuvian area, its story, furniture, findings and the research process that has been developed over many years.

They give new information about the importance of the Tetrarch period for the urban revival of this African community. Of particular interest is the first of these, concerning the dedication of a temple for Hercules, by the proconsul
of Africa L. Helvius Aelius Dionysius, whose name, like that of the tetrarch Maximian, was later erased. In a third moment the dedication was updated, adding the name of the emperor Constans, son of Constantine,
which in turn has been erased, probably during the usurpation of Magnentius.

The initiative consisted of encouraging new teaching methodologies by creating a collection of copies of ancient finds printed with 3D technology. This required a series of carefully organised steps that can be summarised as training students in the skills needed to carry out the photogrammetry of artifacts preserved in museums and ultimately printing the 3D models they prepared. The results, an initial collection of 21 artifacts, laid the foundations for work that has continued since then.

T... more The use of the module in architecture can be traced back from Prehistoric architectural models. The formal evolution of its use evolved until its application as a very complex model of arithmetical preparation. Vitruvius is the one who reports the need for symmetria atque proportione for the correct layout of buildings and this is more than a literal translation of symmetry and proportion. This speaks about the Roman concept of “modular sizes” or “standard of measures” that allows the creation of a regulatory layout not only in buildings, but also in urban planning. The Roman innovation is not the use of such a model for architectural structures, but its application to the use of complex plans that determined the large-scale urban planning of cities in Italy and the provinces. The study of certain urban approaches such as Pompeii, Ostia, Pollentia or Augusta Raurica has demonstrated the great possibilities for practical analysis. However, the lack of studies in the Roman East has not proven their application in this area yet. Taking the example of one of the great architectural complexes of the empire, the acropolis of Baalbek, I analyse its constructive approach, determining its planimetric complexity and its initial projection, as well as suggesting that the great altar of the temple of Jupiter Heliopolitanus, built with certain parameters of Hellenistic-Semitic
architecture, serves as a focal point (lucus gromae) for the planning of the temples of Jupiter, Bacchus, Venus, the porticoes and the propylon.

Its epigraphic corpus has around 200 inscriptions mainly published at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, when the French archaeological campaigns took place. However, a group of Latin inscriptions discovered during the 1960s remained unpublished. In the reorganisation of the archives of the Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art (Paris) the original photographs, negatives, slides and documents revealed new data. In this article I present five new inscriptions (three votive texts, a quadruple funerary epitaph and a new boundary stone) and new data and photographs of three already known inscriptions published by G. Wilmanns in the CIL. All these texts reveal new data about the territory of the res publica Mustitana, the sacred life of the city (including the confirmation of a Capitol) and new onomastic information about its inhabitants.

The appearance of the procurator Campaniae on Crete is linked to a dispute between the colony of Capua and a private citizen called Plotius Plebeius.

Scholars have sought to locate this city in Spanish Extremadura because of the discovery of Brutobriga coins in that region. This paper will shed new light on this place name and make a proposal about its location based on historical, epigraphic and numismatic evidence. This toponym suggests a process of “reterritorialization”, which can also be linked with what occurred with Turobriga. The conclusion of the study situates the ancient towns of Brutobriga and Turobriga at Caesarobriga and Augustobriga respectively.

A través de uno de sus hitos arquitectónicos más conocidos, el complejo monumental del templo de Bel, se muestran algunas de las claves de lectura para entender e identificar las diversas pautas culturales que le dieron forma. Este examen se ha centrado en los aspectos sobre su compleja arquitectura y decoración arquitectónica con el fin de llevar a cabo una lectura social que vaya más allá de un estudio técnico y ahonde en aspectos sobre la hibridación religiosa y cultural de la sociedad de la provincia romana de Siria. Abstract: Cultural hybridisation in the Roman city of Palmyra is one of the most evident things for the ancient and modern visitor. Through one of the most famous monuments, the sacred complex of Bel, this paper provides any clues of interpretation in order to understand and to identify the cultural keys of its shape. This exam has been centred in some of its complex architecture and architectural decoration. All of this provides a social reading of this temple and go deep in some aspects about religious hybridisation and mixed social culture in the Roman province of Syria.

L'Africa Romana XXII, 2024

Roman transport was a fundamental tool for the consolidation of the newly annexed areas and for the spread of territorial administration and the Roman way of life. It was also one of the best ways of incorporating these areas into the economic coherence of the Roman Empire. Another aspect to consider in terms of Roman road policy is the crucial role that the development of infrastructure played in extending imperial political rule at regional and local level through the establishment of Roman provincial administration.
A specific aspect of Roman roads was the use of milestones. During the Republic, milestones were erected mainly in Italy, with little evidence at the provincial level: eastern Hispania, southern Gaul and Greece. Augustus was the first ruler to promote the expansion of those milestones in the newly reorganised Empire. It is from Augustus onwards that we begin to find milestones
in some regions and Africa Proconsularis is one of them. In this work, the transformations of the Roman roads in the Julio-Claudian period will be presented, analysing mainly the epigraphic testimonies, from the first Augustan milestones found in Africa and their chronological and geographical development during the Julio-Claudian emperors in order to see the development of this epigraphic practice.

of epigraphy, they are also the sole poetic genre with a continuous attestation for over 1,000 years, from across the Roman Empire. Frequently produced by and for members of the lower social classes, they raise numerous questions regarding their production and reception, especially in relation to their prose counterparts. Since most of them are of a funerary nature (more than 80%), they are closely related to death and its contexts, being a popular option to commemorate the death of a loved one with a last farewell full of values and sentiment.

The main issue is to understand the landscapes of power through road epigraphy. Milestones provide an interesting opportunity to analyse the development of this aspect and the imperial propaganda out of the cities. It seeks to perform a quantitative and territorial analysis of these reviewed evidence placed into its geographical context in order to explore the incidence of emperors in the road policy. Such a procedure will enable me to propose a general development of the management and development of roads in Baetica. This interesting information reveals a diachronic process and the changes of preferential areas depending on the emperors and dynasties.

Philological Archaeology proposed a systematic reconstruction that related both Classical sources and Epigraphy. However, not only new epigraphical finds but also archaeological evidences have revealed that this approach to Classical sources must be made critically. The particular case of the territorium of Augusta Emerita, the capital of the province of Lusitania, is very interesting in several ways: for example, some geographical issues highlighted by archaeological research do not match with the information Classical sources provided; they have also revealed the complexity of fixing boundaries between two provinces. This paper will explore an alternative approach to the circumstances of this boundary and the influence of this border in the social sphere.

With the completion of the Roman expansion in this area, the places where the Musulami lived became part of the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis. An inconvenient circumstance between Roman conquerors and Musulami triggered a big conflict commanded by the indigenous military leader called Tacfarinas. The information compiled in the Classics and in the inscriptions allows us to reconstruct the event of this dispute in order to understand the process of deterritorialization of African populations under the aegis of Rome. This event put Musulami in a situation of negotiation with the Roman Empire. After that, the Roman camp of Ammaedara became a Roman
colony and the army was licensed as citizens of this new city. This new situation developed in some problems that finally were solved by a new process of delimitation of the so-called territorium Musulamiorum. That situation is known by an important ensemble of landmarks with a formulaic epigraphic text. Their characteristics convert these inscriptions in the imposing element of Roman power and the language used (Latin) evidences no intentions of communications with the others non-Romans, the Musulami in this case.
This paper reviews the history of Musulami from all sources available. After that, I incise in some parallel processes of delimitation in Roman Africa in order to stress concomitances and differences of this specific case: the case of the N ybgenii and the tacapitani, the case of Nicibes and Subures Regiani, and the last one, Suppenses and Vocifrenses. This kind of process is produced when the stability and the status quo break down and it is a good opportunity to explore this as a social factor. It has been also necessary to deep in the figure of the praefectus gentium. It allows me to discuss their role in the cultural change of the Musulami. Praefecti were intermediaries between Rome and several indigenous populations and it was the key of its integration
in the romanitas.
In conclusion, I examine the process of deterritorialising in Roman Africa. This important vision shows the role of landscape and indigenous population in the conception of the Roman frontier. Territorium Musulamiorum was a hinge between the idea of province and the limes of the Roman oikoumene. Processes of otherness were a fundamental part in the relationship between both entities. The reterritorialization of these lands can be understood with this conflict and it is an effective way to evaluate the social impact of the Roman conquest within the lands that once belonged to indigenous tribes. Moreover, the so-called territorium Musulamiorum was a way to fill in the gap in the geographical concept of province and Empire and this mental process is a psychological way to overpass the fear to the emptiness and to avoid dystopic environments. All these clues change
our idea of administration of the new conquest Roman territories and their conversion into a province and they include the social factor and the tribal problems that have not left any trace in most of these cases.

Territorial policies combined with all these perspectives allow us to link with two
traditional models that have been always studied separated. Notwithstanding, the review of the corpus milliariorum of the territory of the former Roman province of Baetica give us divergences of these evidences and it shows us a different approach of this propaganda in a spread territorial view from Augustus to Hadrian. It can be linked with historic moments and the model of Roman administration in that area.

It is a postmodern concept and it allows exploring beyond what the archaeological data could reflect without any process of rethinking of that. It is a difficult concept to deal with, to imagine or to define. Memory is composed by memories, which are subjective and selective, and they are cultural constructions with a strong political ideology.
Memory is an element of historical construction and this is materialised in monuments, texts and commemorations. Memory is a construction of the past and it links the past with the agent in the present. At the end, memory could be considered as a way of identity, but identity is not always memory.
In this theoretical framework, it is very remarkable to analyse how memory could have an expression in the city of Pompeii. It is also interesting to explore the so-called ‘mnemonic devices’. In public spaces, memory is probably best expressed in religious spaces.
Throughout the time, these spaces were transformed and adapted to the new sociopolitical environment. It shows different aspects to preserve and it constitutes the memory of the city, so it cannot be considered only
as religion. Some spots can talk about the specific history, such as the sacred space assigned to the temple of Apollo, that was fossilized in its shape, keeping the former inscriptions in Oscan language, despite all the changes in urbanism. Another good example of this is the temple of the triangular forum. This temple was also one of the first sacred area that maintained their space and adapted its configuration to the new changes
of urban network, in spite of its decadence.
In the familiar sphere, we can find many proofs of the importance that familiar memories had and of how it can be searched in the archaeological finds. In this line, we can see many objects that can be understood as familiar memories. For example, some families keep burying their deceased in the same cemeteries and parts of the city
regardless of the epigraphic changes which reveal cultural changes from Oscan to Latin language. We can also observe some scenes, spaces and peak moments of the city of Pompeii which were important enough to
be painted on the walls of many domus, in order to remember special moments or emotions and to keep the familiar memory alive.
Pompeii is a unique place to explore these specific social processes such as memory places in the urban topography. Due to its good preservation state and the scarce alteration of the archaeological remains, we have in Pompeii more clues than in other archaeological sites. Even though this short paper is only a sketch, I aim to show the possibilities that Pompeii could have in this field.

is always the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. In the best way, Oplontis could be added to this list but mainly, it is the most overlooked.
Even the declaration of the World Heritage site, UNESCO (With the
official name: Archaeological Areas of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Torre
Annunziata” (Ref. Nº 829) 1-6 December 1997), only affects the
archaeological sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata
(Oplontis) while Stabiae is no longer considered today.
In the case of Stabiae, its chronology goes back to the VII century BC. Its
history is older than other settlements as Pompeii and Herculaneum and
it brings us very useful archaeological information of the protohistoric
situation in the Sarno plain. Previous investigations to the Borbonic
excavations were carried through Tommasso Milante. He was interested
in the area on account of the archaeological remains appeared in the hills
of Varano and Gragnano. He pointed out the identification of this area
with the ancient city of Stabiae. But the start date of the Borbonic
excavation was a couple of years later. In 1749, Roque Joaquin de
Alcubierre, a Spanish military engineer, directed the labours of digging
and swiftly discovered important archaeological remains. This Borbonic
excavation in the ancient Stabiae happened through phases of interest and
abandonment (around 30 years). After the death of Alcubierre in 1780 the
excavation was abandoned until 1950. In this time, in around 1881, only
Michele Ruggiero was interested in the history of excavation at Stabiae
in a documentary way.
Between 1950 and 1862, Libero D’Orsi took the baton of the Stabiae
archaeological history. He worked to bring the Stabian village to light.
After him, an abandonment period occurred again (excluding any
occasional intervention). In 1998 until present, the RAS project initiated
a new period for Stabiae focusing on academic research and touristic
promotion.
Compared to that, the history of Oplontis is more much limited. If Stabiae
was a city, the Oplontis archaeological site is just a three (documented)
village. Just two of them have been excavated. The so-called village A
was discovered in the XVI century but it was not partially excavated until
XIX century. In XX century, village A and B were more sternly
excavated. Currently, this settlement is involved in a recovery project
named the “Oplontis Project”. It started in 2006 and is developing new
documental and archaeological researches of the villae.

They were a minority and mostly a marginal part of the society, as it can be interpreted from the statues of slaves which we know. But we should not understand the meaning of the figures of black people in the Roman mind with the prejudices of racism and ethnic animosity created mainly in the Medieval Europe and perpetuated since then.

Questa tipologia epigrafica riguarda diverse lingue che, non a caso, sono le principali della Penisola, cioè il latino, il greco, l´etrusco, l´osco e l´umbro. Tale sviluppo si conclude con il sostituirsi del latino alle lingue indigene, che avviene nel corso del primo secolo a. C. e con la nuova cultura epigrafica che appare nell´età augustea. L´obietivo di questo incontro è analizzare le forme, i tipi e gli sviluppi di questa documentazione epigrafica. In specifico si propone analizzare varietà di testi in relazione ai diversi generi epigrafici (per sesempio, iscrizioni funerarie, onorifiche, di edilizia pubblica, ecc.), in quali spazi erano esposte (fori, necropoli, santuari, ecc.), quali ne sono stati i committenti (magistrati, privati, ecc.) e, più in generale, come i processi di formazione della scrittura lapidaria.
Questo covegno, organizzato in collaborazione con la Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma, è il culmine del progetto PEAI: Public Epigraphy in Ancient Italy (third-first centuries BCE), che è stato vincitore di una borsa Marie Sklodowska-Curie (European Union’s Horizon 2020, Grant agreement nº 794476) e che è stato svolto presso l´Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata. L´incontro è anche possibile grazie alla collaborazione del Museo Nazionale Romano delle Terme di Diocleziano.

The Western provinces of the Roman Empire experienced different processes and temporalities of Roman conquest that created diverging ways of understanding these provincial landscapes. In particular, the hodological vision of the republican period has generated perceptions of provincial spaces from the Romano-centric point of view which have defined how the provinces of Sardinia, Sicilia, Gallia, Hispania and Africa are understood. During the Imperialism development, the emergence of new requirements and aims motivated a complete renovation of Roman domains at the end of the Republic started (but not completed) by Caesar. These transformations have been analysed from the perspective of epigraphy, literature, history, and material culture, but has left out the agency of local communities and their impact on the provincial landscapes they inhabited and lived in. In this sense, the potential contributions of landscape archaeology are clear, due to its capacity to identify, analyse and understand changes and continuities on these provincial landscapes, which were intimately linked to the processes of social and political change occurring in the Empire. This session will focus on the contributions that both landscape studies and landscape archaeology have on the understanding of wider processes developing in the western provinces of the Roman Empire, aiming at generating new insights into how these developed (e.g. their differences and similarities). As such, we welcome submissions exploring the transitions to the Empire in the provincial landscapes of the western Roman Empire (Hispania, Italia, Gallia, North Africa) from both theoretical (e.g. the transformation from hodological point of view to the cartographical vision) and practical perspectives (e.g. settlement patterns, mobility and communication, spatial analysis, remote sensing and GIS). *** If you are interested in giving a paper at the session, please send an abstract of up to 200 words by the EAA 2021 website (https://www.e-a-a.org/eaa2021) by 12 February 2021 at the latest.

This interest can be explained by various factors. First, it is due to the increasing attention given to the Roman economy, which has been perceived as a complex system, with its own dynamics of technological development and its own rationality, which is different to other pre-industrial economies. The result of this effort has been the overcoming of ancient debates about the nature of the Roman economy; a debate, essentially, about the modernity of Roman society. Second, the analysis of the economic dynamics that accompanied the Roman expansion allows us to address, from a postcolonial perspective, the debate around the nature and depth of the socioeconomic transformations of Mediterranean societies, overcoming the cultural approaches associated with the term 'romanization'. Factors such as the possibilities of exploitation, taxation, population displacements (of which official colonization is only one component), or the various forms of agency of
autochthonous societies (both individuals and groups) show the complex interactions generated between the political, social and economic spheres between the 3rd century BC and the 1st century AD.
This renewal of ideas and hypotheses has benefited from a growing mass of documentary material, made up of inscriptions of all kinds and new categories of material culture, which have been analyzed with new methodologies, from archeometry to statistics, with the management procedures of big data. Likewise, it is necessary to consider the possibilities offered by diverse perspectives, theoretical approaches and conceptual tools, from globalization to the theory of complex systems.
This is the context in which the meeting 'Conquest and colonization of the Roman West: production and social dynamics' takes place. Its general objective is to analyze the interactions between the production and distribution dynamics generated in the provincial space and Italy as a whole, taking the Iberian Peninsula as a case study. As specific objectives, its first intention is to discuss the production and distribution processes in certain sectors of the peninsular economy; second, to reconstruct specific socio-economic dynamics on a regional scale, assessing the possibility of defining spaces other than simple administrative frameworks for analysis; finally, the relations between regional economies, and between these economies, Italy, and other areas of the western Mediterranean, will be addressed. Consequently, it intends to offer a space for debate on perspectives and methods, rather than a simple state of the art. The congress brings together specialists from various fields who work together in an interdisciplinary manner.

En els darrers anys, les dinàmiques de la producció i la distribució de manufactures i aliments a la Mediterrània antiga han rebut una creixent atenció per part d'historiadors de l'antiguitat i arqueòlegs. Aquest interès s'explica per diversos factors. En primer lloc, la creixent atenció concebuda a l'economia romana, que s'ha percebut com un sistema complex, amb les seves pròpies dinàmiques de desenvolupament tecnològic i la seva pròpia racionalitat, diferent a altres economies preindustrials. El resultat d'aquest esforç ha estat la superació d'antics debats sobre la naturalesa de l'economia romana; un debat, en el fons, sobre la modernitat de la societat romana. En segon lloc, l'anàlisi de les dinàmiques econòmiques que van acompanyar l'expansió romana permet abordar, des d'una perspectiva postcolonial, el debat entorn de la naturalesa i la profunditat de les transformacions socioeconòmiques de les societats mediterrànies, superant els plantejaments culturals associats a terme "romanització ". Factors com les possibilitats d'explotació, la tributació, els desplaçaments de població (de les que la colonització oficial són només un component) o les diverses formes d’agency de les societats autòctones (d'individus i grups) mostren les complexes interaccions generades entre les esferes política, social i econòmica entre els segles III aC i I dC.
La renovació d'idees i hipòtesis s'ha beneficiat d'una creixent massa documental formada per inscripcions de tot tipus i noves categories de cultura material, que han estat analitzades amb noves metodologies, des de l'arqueometria a l'estadística, passant pels procediments de gestió de Big Data. Igualment, cal tenir en compte les possibilitats que ofereixen perspectives, plantejaments teòrics i eines conceptuals diverses, des de la globalització a la teoria dels sistemes complexos.
La reunió Conquesta i colonització de l'Occident romà: producció i dinàmiques socials es planteja en aquest context. El seu objectiu general és analitzar les interaccions entre les dinàmiques de producció i distribució generades en l'espai provincial i Itàlia, prenent la península Ibèrica com a cas d'estudi. Com a objectius específics, es pretén, en primer lloc, discutir sobre els processos de producció i distribució en certs sectors de l'economia peninsular; en segon, reconstruir les dinàmiques socioeconòmiques concretes, a escala regional, valorant la possibilitat de definir espais d'anàlisi diferent dels simples marcs administratius; finalment, s'analitzaran les relacions entre economies regionals i entre aquestes i Itàlia i altres àrees de la Mediterrània occidental. Es pretén, en conseqüència, oferir un espai de debat sobre perspectives i mètodes, abans que un simple estat de la qüestió. El workshop reuneix especialistes de diversos àmbits que treballen en clau interdisciplinària.
