Sumario:Within the Hispanic architectural panorama, during the early Imperial period Tarraco – capital of the Roman province Hispania Citerior – undoubtedly represents one of the main centres where the spontaneous adoption of Roman both architectural and building models reaches its highest expression. There, the indigenous substratum persisted in the topography of the Iberian-Roman settlement at least until the Republican era, whilst this is not recognizable nor perceivable in the Imperial period architecture: as a matter of fact, the acquisition of models coming directly from Rome did find in Tarraco an immediate expression. However, references to the Urbs are always strongly influenced by the context in which they are inserted. On the background of the urban building impulse in Hispania Citerior during the early Imperial era, the current contribution focuses on the use of building materials and construction aspects regarding a landmark monument, which influenced the official architecture in the capital of the largest Hispanic province: the so-called “Provincial Forum”.
