The Augustus’ Presence in Spain and the Dates of the Provincial Organization
Abstract
The dates cited in this paper refer to the presence of Augustus in the Iberian Peninsula in order to reorganize the territories and Hispanic peoples after the Roman conquest. This new organization included the provincial division, which was probably late and, of course, was not done once, but after several attempts, as you can see in the Edict of the Bierzo (León, Spain) (15 BC), whose interpretation should be reviewed. We bring here new arguments that question the legati cited in this epigraphic text as authentic provincial governors.
