The Territories of the Southern Meseta in the Augustan Era

Abstract

This work focuses on the southernmost area of the Meseta in the Augustan era, thus taking into account those main settlements and the respective territories thereof that received the boost of the action program of Augustus in these lands thereby reaching a privileged legal statute at that moment. This is the case of Oretum over the valley of the Jabalón river, or the colony of Libisosa having the surname Foroaugustana in the western part of the province of Albacete. These settlements located next to the main transport axes, will become fundamental centers of the territorial planning and organization in these areas of the southern part of the Meseta.
