Lacus Ligustinus as an Agent of Urban Articulation and Terrestrial Connectivity: From the Banks of Hasta Regia to Carissa Aurelia and the Acces Path to the Highlands

Abstract

The role of Baetis estuary is analysed as a factor of first urban networks articulation, and territorial connectivity in Antiquity. This approach brings us a greater understanding of the terrestrial communications origins between the urban centres of this area. Also it reflects the progressive historical reorientation of the communication routes, which has generated an actual perception of this geography and their access that are far different from the previous organization in the Protohistory.
