| Summary: | [EN] Ancient mines have often been considered as items out of the history of the ancient cities and their territories. However recent researches, from a contextual approach, have shown that in diverse Roman mining areas the existence of this richness has strongly conditioned the assignation or the management of land. This is the case in some colonies and municipalities in Southern Spain. In this paper we seek to revisit two cases: on the one hand, Carthago Nova’s mines and their role in the construction of its colonial ager (Cartagena, Murcia), and on the other hand the links between the mines and the colonial and municipal territories in the Guadalquivir middle valley (Andalusia). The last decades of the Republican period and the 1st century AD constitutes an essential phase for understanding juridical and territorial transformations, in which mines have had an active part. |
