The principal aims of Urbanisation in Roman Spain and Portugal:
Civitates Hispaniae in the Early Empire are to provide a
comprehensive reconstruction of the urban systems of the Iberian
Peninsula during the Early Empire and to explain why these systems
looked the way they did. While some chapters focus on settlements
that were cities or towns from a juridical point of view, the
implications of using a purely functional definition of towns are
also explored. Key themes include continuities and discontinuities
between pre-Roman and Roman settlement patterns, the geographical
distribution of cities belonging to various size brackets, economic
relationships between self-governing cities and their territories
and the role of cities as nodes in road systems and maritime
networks. In addition, it is argued that a considerable number of
self-governing communities in Roman Spain and Portugal were
poly-centric rather than based on a single urban centre. The volume
will be of interest to anyone working on Roman urbanism as well as
those interested in the Iberian Peninsula in the Roman period.
