Abstract
Many facts, dated around the decade of the 50’s of the first century of the Christian era, lead us to think that it was Emperor Claudius who developed not only the mining resources in Northern Hispania, but also the conventus iuridici as provincial subdivisions of this territory. Among those facts, we can stand out the demilitarization of Northern Hispania (with the suppression of districts), the agricultural exploitation of military fields, the reorganization of the functions of the soldiers, the presence of militaries (legionaries and auxiliaries) in those mining territories, the interruption of coinage in Roman Spain, and the operation of legal conventus with all its consequences.Downloads
