Reconfiguración de los paisajes urbanos: el caso de Aeso (Isona i Conca Dellà, Cataluña, España)

[eng] This study examines the archaeological evidence from the Roman city of Aeso in northeastern Hispania Citerior where Republican-era public infrastructures, including multiple sections of the city wall, a tower, and a gate, were replaced by private buildings during the Imperial period. Such large-scale urban transformations were exceptional, as they involved substantial changes to the urban landscape. Parallels with other cities where earlier fortifications came to be occupied by private buildings serve to contextualise the phenomenon. This interdisciplinary analysis combining archaeological data with literary and legal sources intends to clarify the circumstances that governed these urban transformations. Its ultimate aim is to explore the potential sociopolitical, legal, and administrative contexts that enabled such changes, a subject that has to date received little attention.

Abstract

[eng] This study examines the archaeological evidence from the Roman city of Aeso in northeastern Hispania Citerior where Republican-era public infrastructures, including multiple sections of the city wall, a tower, and a gate, were replaced by private buildings during the Imperial period. Such large-scale urban transformations were exceptional, as they involved substantial changes to the urban landscape. Parallels with other cities where earlier fortifications came to be occupied by private buildings serve to contextualise the phenomenon. This interdisciplinary analysis combining archaeological data with literary and legal sources intends to clarify the circumstances that governed these urban transformations. Its ultimate aim is to explore the potential sociopolitical, legal, and administrative contexts that enabled such changes, a subject that has to date received little attention.
