Item Pro consensu et concordia civium: Sensoriality, Imperial Cult, and Social Control in Augustan Urban Orientations(SENSORIVM. The Senses in Roman Polytheism, 2021) González García, A. César; García Quintela, Marco V.; Espinosa Espinosa, DavidOne of the most stunning visions that people in the Roman Empire looked at would have been the alignment of the sun with certain public structures of Roman towns in relevant moments of the religious calendar. Some of these moments would have been related to astronomical events such as solstices and equinoxes, which were connected with political and religious principles during the reign of Augustus. In this regard, the application of cosmological criteria in the orientation and planning of Roman towns has been identified in some case studies, such as Augusta Praetoria Salassorum in Italia, Carthago Nova in Hispania, Lugdunum in Gallia Lugdunensis, Augusta Treverorum in Gallia Belgica, and Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium (previous Ara Ubiorum) in Germania Inferior. In all of them, the apparent movement of the sun across the sky along the year would have been chosen to mark (during the dawn or sunset) important public festivals linked to the human and agricultural cycles, as well as with several deities from the Roman pantheon. The intention behind this practice would have included commemorating specific public events that were deeply significant for the population, but also favoring prosperity and maintaining the political and religious cohesion of the communities. In order to achieve this purpose, the sensory perception and emotional experience would have played a decisive role. The fact, for example, that every 23rd of September and 21st of December (as is the case of Ara Ubiorum, Carthago Nova and Augusta Praetoria Salassorum) the first rays of sun aligned with the urban layout would have caused an extraordinary impact and theatrical effect in the consciousness of the people. Both dates and the psychological implications aroused, associated with the dies natalis Augusti and Capricorn (sign that chaired in Lugdunum the concilium of Tres Galliae every 1st August), would have been instrumentalized by Augustus for strengthening his position at the head of the Empire, as well as promoting the conservation of the new political order.Item La integración jurídico-administrativa de las Civitates del Rin en época de Augusto: hacia una relectura interdisciplinar(História Antiga: relações interdisciplinares: paisagens urbanas, rurais & sociais, 2018) Espinosa Espinosa, DavidA la luz de una relectura interdisciplinar de la documentación literaria, arqueológica y epigráfica proporcionada por el oppidum Ubiorum/Ara Ubiorum y el oppidum Batavorum/Batavodurum, el presente trabajo tiene por objeto proponer una integración jurídico-administrativa más temprana para determinadas civitates del Rin, caso de la civitas Ubiorum y la civitas Batavorum. Considerada como un proceso tardío y selectivo resultado de las medidas adoptadas por los emperadores flavios y antoninos, existen suficientes indicios para situar sus inicios en época de Augusto. Esta relectura surge de un análisis efectuado desde la latinidad provincial, un expediente jurídicoadministrativo maleable que favoreció la integración y romanización de civitates con un elevado grado de indigenismo, y que fue empleado desde sus comienzos en la reorganización y pacificación de amplios territorios provinciales de Occidente.Item Bases documentales para el estudio histórico de los 'oppida veteris Latii' de Hispania: una aproximación a la evidencia institucional(Le strutture locali dell'Occidente romano, 2023) Espinosa Espinosa, David; Espinosa Espinosa, DavidConstituye este capítulo una primera aproximación a la totalidad de la evidencia institucional proporcionada por los oppida veteris Latii de Hispania, en una clara continuación con trabajos anteriores sobre la naturaleza jurídico-administrativa y el perfil constitucional de este tipo de comunidad privilegiada – de estatuto colonial en la República, municipal en época de Augusto. Concebido desde un marcado planteamiento heurístico y metodológico, este trabajo constituye un punto de partida y anclaje de futuras investigaciones que ahonden en la comprensión de los procesos de integración cívica en las provincias hispanas en época tardorrepublicana y augústea. Concretamente bajo el paraguas de la latinidad provincial, que en el caso de Hispania protagonizó hasta tres episodios de latinización diferentes, uno en época republicana y dos en época altoimperial.Item From municipia Latina to oppida labentia. Bases for a Model of the Ideological and Institutional Causes behind the Latin Municipal System in Hispania(Signs of Weakness and Crisis in the Western Cities of the Roman Empire (c. II-III A.D.), 2019) Espinosa Espinosa, David
