Abstract

This paper offers an interpretation of an inscription documented in Caldes de Montbui (IRC I, 40) which could demonstrate the existence of a relationship of patrocinium between this settlement and the emperor Tiberius. To support this hypothesis we analyze the characteristics of the Roman thermal centre of Caldes, its promotion in Augustan period and its possible conversion in Flavian municipium, being one of the central points in the integration of the territory of Layetania interior in the Roman provincial structure.
