This paper focuses on the connection between Tarraco’s urban and economic growth during the 5th century AD and the recovery of its geostrategic role as the base for the late Roman army which aimed to regain control over Hispania. Tarraconensis was the last province of Hispania under imperial control a7er the arrival of the Germanic peoples and the agreed occupation of the most of the Iberian Peninsula. 6e written sources also refer to the presence of many high o8cials in the town, both civil and military. 6is event certaintly marked the historical evolution of the city. 6e archaeological work of the past decades has indeed emphasized the recovery and development from the 5th century onwards of the main entry gate and economic hub of Tarraco, its harbour and the adjacent area known as the ‘port suburb’, contrasting with the urban and economic recession which characterized the preceding centuries.

This paper focuses on the connection between Tarraco’s urban and economic growth during the 5th century AD and the recovery of its geostrategic role as the base for the late Roman army which aimed to regain control over Hispania. Tarraconensis was the last province of Hispania under imperial control after the arrival of the Germanic peoples and the agreed occupation of the most of the Iberian Peninsula. The written sources also refer to the presence of many high officials in the town, both civil and military. This event certaintly marked the historical evolu- tion of the city.

A partir de distintos epígrafes tarraconenses se reconoce la presencia en los suburbios de Tarraco en el siglo II d.C. de un cuartel para una unidad ecuestre de equites singulares y un campus de ejercicios anexa al mismo. También de unos castra para residencia de dos cohortes. Se considera también el número de los officiales adscritos al gobernador de la provincia que en su caso residían de diferentes formas en el interior del espacio urbano. Resumé À partir des distinctes épigraphes de Tarraco on reconnaît la présence dans les faubourgs de Tarraco au IIème siècle d.C. d'un fort pour une unité équestre d'equites singulares et un campus d'exercices annexe au même. Aussi d'uns castra pour résidence de deux cohortes. Il se considère aussi le numéro des officiales assignés au gouverneur de la province qu'ils résidaient de différentes formes au milieu de l'espace urbain.
Tarraco y Barcino en el Alto Imperio
REVISTA DE HISTORIOGRAFÍA (RevHisto), 2016
El artículo se centra en las dos únicas colonias romanas del territorio de la actual Cataluña, en el noreste de Hispania citerior: la capital provincial Tarraco (Tarragona) y la fundación augustea de Barcino (Barcelona). Se intenta hacer un estado de la cuestión y balance de la investigación, poniendo el acento en las hipótesis recientes, algunas de ellas carentes de base, como la existencia de un anfiteatro en Barcino y el improbable cambio de orientación de su templo en el foro.
La construcción del recinto imperial de Tarraco (provincia Hispania Citerior) (2011)
Thanks to the studies carried out by Dr. Hauschild in the Old Quarter of Tarragona, a three-tiered urban structure known as Concilium Provinciae Hispaniae Citerioris has been identified. Subsequent research has confirmed Dr. Hauschild’s hypotheses and extended our knowledge of the site. This article reports the latest studies on the Place of Worship, which were made possible by the Tarragona Cathedral Master Plan and the project The Archaeological planimetry of Tàrraco.
