Dos modelos de implantación urbana romanorrepublicana en el valle medio del Ebro: las ciudades de La Cabañeta y La Corona

Abstract

This paper faces the study of two Roman republican cities, and also comments their functions. These cities are both established by the Ebro river and they are separated only from a few km. Also, they were founded in second century B.C., and destroyed during the Sertorian Wars; but their functions seem to have been different: La Corona could have been destined for being inhabited by Iberians and La Cabañeta, maybe ancient Castra Aelia, to receive an important amount of Italic people. So, we find two different models of Roman urban setting in the middle Ebro's Valley during republican period. Though, this policy of territorial control keeps clipped in Sertorian Wars.
