Investigaciones interdisciplinares sobre los espacios domésticos del municipium romano de Mirobriga (Santiago do Cácem, Portugal)

Abstract

The Roman city of Mirobriga, which developed from a Celtiberian oppidum during the 1st century AD, was provided with public facilities such as a circus, baths and a forum. The present investigations concentrate on domestic architecture (domus), which were recently discovered through non-invasive geophysical survey. The following careful excavation of the houses provide us for the first time with the possibility to reconstruct the construction history of private architecture and its evolution in the small urban centres of southern Lusitania, between the Flavian period and the second half of the 3rd century AD.
