El artículo pretende revisar la petición de principio que conlleva la propuesta británica de emplear el concepto de globalización como alternativa al paradigma de romanización: la idea de considerar al imperio romano como un imperio global. Para ello, se tendrá en cuenta el debate específico en que los autores de la propuesta se sitúan.

Presentamos en este artículo tres inscripciones latinas conservadas en San Millán de los Caballeros, de las que la primera es un carmen epigraphicum parcialmente conocido, del que damos nueva lectura e interpretación; presenta este un texto en dos caras contiguas, constituyendo un soporte excepcional. Damos también edición de otras dos inscripciones inéditas; una de ellas, un crismón.

Este trabajo analiza dos fragmentos de inscripciones romanas procedentes de la zona de Lara de los Infantes (Burgos). El primero de ellos es un fragmento anepigráfico con representación de una figura humana femenina. El segundo corresponde a un fragmento de estela romana en el que se intuye una denominación mediante doble idiónimo. En definitiva, se trata de dos nuevos testimonios epigráficos a añadir al profuso corpus de una zona rica en hallazgos epigráficos pero pobre en intervenciones arqueológicas que los contextualicen.This work analyzes two fragments of roman inscriptions from the area of Lara de los Infantes (Burgos). The first one is an anepigraphic fragment with a representation of a female human figure. The second fragment come from a roman stele in which a denomination by double idionym could be deduced. Ultimately, these are two new epigraphic testimonies to be added to the extense corpus of a very rich area in epigraphic findings but poor in archaeological works which contextualize them.

Celtiberian metrology has scarcely been investigated until now, with the exception of coin weights. On the basis of measurements of pre-Roman mud bricks, a Celtiberian foot of 24 cm is proposed. With regard to weights, we can accept a module of 9 g for silver jewelry and some bronze coins; however, loom weights do not conform to any metrological system. Over time, Roman measures of length (as indicated by the dimensions of bricks, tiles and architectural monuments) and weight were adopted.

In this paper we present a new tessera lusoria found in the Iberian site of Puig del Castell de Samalús (Cànoves i Samalús, Barcelona). The piece, made of bone, has a latin inscription on both sides, in wich we can read the vocative gvlo and numeral IIII. Beyond making a typological approach of the piece, we try to develop the meaning of their presence in an indigenous context and frame their presence within the rest of these gaming tokens located in the Citerior. We are incorporing new data, only through the collection of all tesserae lusoriae that we know its precise place of discovery. We will define its origin and try to approach to a better understanding of the phenomenon. We try to address the issue focusing on the context in which they were used, indicating the group these gaming tokens belonged.

La reciente aparición de un epígrafe romano hallado en 1840 en Marchamalo permite realizar una nueva interpretación del mismo. Hasta ahora las lecturas de esta inscripción dependían de la realizada en 1900 por F. Fita en base a las misivas de sus informadores y posterior reinterpretación de las mismas. La comparación de ambas permite destacar aspectos de la metodología del mencionado jesuita. The recent appearance of a Roman epigraph found in 1840 in Marchamalo allows a new interpretation. So far this inscription readings depended on the one made in 1900 by F. Fita and based on the letters of his informants and its subsequent reinterpretation. The comparison of both of them allows us to highlight some aspects of the Jesuit’s methodology.

This article aims to clarify the issue of the marriage rights of the Latini during the Early Principate, wheter Junian Latins or those who we will call here provincials. We will carry out this task analyzing the issue of the ius conubii and its possible inclusion within the rights or capabilities of Latinitas, but also placing special interest in the promotion mechanisms exclusive of its legal status –namely, the ius Latii and anniculi probatio– and its effects on previous marriages. With this we will try to demonstrate the existence of a common element between both types of Latin people: an integrative will.

This paper aims to revise the literary, epigraphical and archaeological evidence in order to identify the Roman towns in the current Comunidad de Madrid. It argues that Mantua was located in current Villamanta and that other civitatum capita might have been in La Dehesa de la Oliva (Patones), Collado Villalba or San Lorenzo de El Escorial.

This 2014 we conmemorate Octavio Augustus death’s bimillenary. Under his command, as just another achievement of the Pax Augusta, a magnificent Rome culminated the Romanization of our land. To state that Rome conquered Spain would be mistaken, as it is not possible to conquer something that does not yet exist. It is true that against Roman legions a great diversity of indigenous peoples fought for two long and bloody years. However, they were not Spaniards, but “turdetanos, ilergetes, celtíberos, vacceos”, etc, those who faced the Roman legions. Only after the Augustan pacification, when all the peoples' diversity and culture merge with the Romanization, Rome and its provincial administration achieved to create a new political unit, Hispania, which reached to exceed, for the first time in its history, what until that time was not more than a topographical concept based on simple peninsular configuration.

The author expresses his opinion that the year 40 BC, the date of the treaty of Brindisi, the province of Hispania Ulterior was divided into two distinct areas: the valley of Betis, deeply romanized, and Guadiana North, which remained a land of conquest. The control of territory up to the Douro and its subsequent Romanization will be due entirely to Augustus, who at an undetermined date divided it in Baetica and Lusitania, setting the limits of this in the Douro river. Gallaecia never belonged to it, as it is clear from the study of the literary sources and the bronze of Bembibre, with its explicit mention of the Transduriana provincia.
