Abstract
After Augusta Emerita foundation, the assignment of a wide territory to the new Lusitanian capital begins. Among others, the Praefectura regionis Turgalium is included in this territory, and its approximated delimitation is outlined in the present work, based on the onomastic testimonies of settlers with italic roots, veterans of the legions and other references to the Papiria tribe. This is how the territory of the new Praefectura, located in the southeast of the province of Cáceres, is shaped up. This territory is also characterized by the abundant Roman onomastic.
