A new proposal about the limits of the “ager emeritensis” during the Roman Empire and Late Antiquity

Abstract

The fixing of the boundaries of the ager emeritensis is one of the main topics of discussion for research focused on the study of rural areas of the capital of Lusitania. We propose a definition of this space based on the analysis of historiography and a new interpretation of the textual documentation and material available. The inevitable connection between the creation of the province Lusitania and the founding of Augusta Emerita, along with the determination of their limits during the Roman period are essential, because, probably, are those set in this time the force during the Late Antiquity.
