Abstract

In this paper it is studied the process of the use of monumenta in southern Hispania through the archaeological and epigraphic documents at the end of the first century AD. The social and economic changes that occur in Hispania Ulterior in the late Republican time emerge in the age of Caesar and Augustus (with new municipia and coloniae). It produces an important change in the urban necropolis with the adoption of the monumenta caracteristic of Rome and the Italian Peninsula. The funerary archaeology of this time in the cities of southern Hispania proves this process of cultural and ideological changes and adaptations through the graves.
