La colonia romana de Flaviobriga y su territorium
Flaviobriga (Castro-Urdiales, Cantabria) became in Roman times (probably in AD 74) a colonia (*Samanum portus ubi nunc Flaviobrica colonia, Pliny the Elder NH 4. 110).

| Sumario: | Flaviobriga (Castro-Urdiales, Cantabria) became in Roman times (probably in AD 74) a colonia (*Samanum portus ubi nunc Flaviobrica colonia, Pliny the Elder NH 4. 110). We neither discuss here what kind of colonia could be nor the exactly place of the *Samanum portus. The main purpose is the systematic search of information that can help to know more about the area, hierarchy and resources of the territorium (i. e. the urban center plus the ager). As the urban center has be en researched by one of us in his doctoral thesis, the intention is to advance a still very hypothetic model of the ager which is mainly based upon archaeological and toponymical inferences along with juridical epigraphy. The present first part is devoted to the municipal jurisdiction of Castro-Urdiales and includes the presentation of a new Roman inscription. A second article will treat about other spaces that could be involved into the territorium of Flaviobriga and will present some general conclusions. |
