Los “castella” tardorrepublicanos del noroeste murciano en el marco del paisaje comarcal del siglo I a.c.: control del territorio y romanización en el sureste peninsular

Abstract

The roman castella documented in the basin of the rivers Argos and Quípar (Caravaca de la Cruz, Murcia) can be related with the Roman civil wars between Caesar and Pompeius in the 1st century B.C. Beyond its material and constructive features, the analysis of these castella in the regional landscape reveals the interest and the criteria of its location, and its possible influence on the process of integration of these territories of the Iberian South-East in the Roman world.
