settlements, often based on comparison with modern analogues. This paper presents an analysis
of the pollen and spore records associated with the thermal complex of Arucci Turobriga, a Roman city (1st
century BCE-3rd century CE) located in southwestern Spain. The pollen record represents an environment
consisting mainly of holm oak and cork oak groves and ash groves as riparian vegetation, accompanied by pine
and wild olive trees, as well as thickets of kermes oak, mastic, rockrose and broom. Due to their abundance
during the period of the town’s development, some species could have been used as forestry, agricultural or
ornamental resources, such as Cupressaceae and Pinus species, as well as olive, carob and hazel trees. The
group of herbaceous species represents a ruderal flora, probably associated with anthropised enclaves, given
the large number of nitrophilous species it includes. The spore record is dominated by parasitic fungi (mainly
Ustilago type and Puccinia type) and mycorrhizal fungi (mainly Glomeromycota p.p. and Glomus type). On
the other hand, the presence of spores of coprophilous fungi corroborates the identification of a latrine in
the northern sector of the city’s hot springs.

is constituted as an interesting architectural
complex within this category of public buildings
in the hispanian context. Located in one of the
highest levels of the city, this space dedicated to
the bathroom has been delimited and partially
excavated during various excavations campaings
and geophysical surveys framed in different
research projects. The results of the latest activities
are added to those already known, which has made
it possible to identify numerous rooms, piscinae,
latrinae, apodyterium, cisternae, and so on, that
brings us closer to knowing the functionality and
functioning of the thermal-baths in their time of
activity. From the chronological point of view,
the building is estructured in two areas, the first
one being built at a previus time in the second
half of the 1st century AD; and the second one in
the monumentalizing impulse that undergoes the
city in Flavian era, and maintain his use until his
abandonment in the first quarter of 3rd century
AD

Since antiquity, classical authors such as Pliny the Elder and Dion Cassius have descriptively chronicled these events and their catastrophic effects, although in most cases associated with a strong ritual and religious character.
Over the centuries, various measures have been implemented to control floods, including infrastructure such as floodwalls and drainage systems. However, historic floods such as those of 54 BC, 414 AD, 1557 and even the most recent one in 2012 left an indelible mark on the city. This study examines the river historical management, starting with Emperor Augustus’ efforts to channel the river to mitgate flooding and protect the expanding city.
Infact ass Rome has expanded and modernised, more sophisticated methods of dealing with flood management have been developed, but contemporary challenges such as climate change and urban growth continue to pose problems and threats that require attention and effective measures to protect the city and its inhabitants, leaving us to ask: is it too late to save Rome from its fate?
The research is aimed to draw parallels between ancient and modern methods of managing the Tiber’s extremes events (floods as in 2012 and drought periods as it was in 2022), highlighting the resilience of Roman infrastructure and the lessons that can be learned for contemporary water management and safeguarding of cultural heritage in the face of climate change.
