Augustus and the Epigraphical Echo of Munda in Carthago Nova, Saguntum and Tarraco
Abstract
Carthago Nova and Saguntum were Pompeian colonies that after César’s victory in Munda 4 in 45 BC entered the political orbit of Caesar; in Augustean times, both cities developed epigraphic programs that have much relation to each other and that are evidence of his fidelity to Augustus. The modern research has admitted in Tarraco a colonial deductio with veterans that could have been in the battle of Munda; one of them could be a magistrate known by an epigraphic fragment. In this way, Carthago Nova, Saguntum and Tarraco would present epigraphic Augustan testimonies that might be considered the echo of the battle of Munda.
