Bracara Augusta Foundation in the Context of Augustus' Policy. Urbanism and Rural Settlement
Abstract
This paper aims to discuss the process of foundation of Bracara Augusta related to the structuring of the urban space and the reorganization of the countryside using the vast amount of data provided by archaeology in the last decades. Beyond the analysis of the preRoman context the data available on the foundational urban grid as well as the one articulated with the changes in the settlement patterns in the surrounding territory of the city will be analysed. It is also intended to reflect on the role played by Bracara Augusta in the evolution of the indigenous communities of Braga region after its integration into the Empire and the reorganization of Hispania undertaken by Augustus.
