Acknowledgement Although an acknowledgement is not standard for a master thesis, I believe it is necessary. In the beginning, because the investigation would have been impossible without the two grants I got, to study and do research in Spain. The Erasmus Mundus programme allowed for the possibility to study at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), where I met professor Almagro-Gorbea who pointed me to different scholars and institutions to visit. The foremost is the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut in Madrid, their extensive library and friendly personnel allowed for the accumulation of secondary sources on the subject of this research. I always appreciated the discussions with dr. Torres-Martínez in the archaeological laboratory of UCM, he had me to think on several different aspects of the Celtiberian culture and its relation to other peoples on the peninsula. The conversations with dr. Torres-Ortiz on the Phoenician presence at the south coast of the Iberian Peninsula were necessary to understand the relevance of the Phoenicians for urbanisation. Secondly, the Philologisch Studiefonds Travel Grant allowed me to visit several sites in former Celtiberia and relevant museums in Spain. Without the ability to visit these sites and museums I would never be able to understand the significance of the landscape for urban development. Moreover, visiting archaeological sites answers questions that rise reading archaeological reports and it raises new questions leading to a better understanding of the complexity of the subject. Finally, I want to thank the different people making this thesis possible, of course the two readers and tutors for the thesis, dr. Stevens at Utrecht University and prof. dr. Almagro-Gorbea at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Without their guidance and editorial support this would not have been possible. Any errors or inadequacies that may remain in this work are the responsibility of my own. Last but certainly not least, I want to express my gratitude to my fiancé. Without her help, guidance and her calmness I would already have stressed out from the very beginning of this research in Madrid. Abstract On Celtiberian urbanism there are two discourses: on the one hand, the prehistorical discourse regarding pre-Roman Celtiberia an urban society. On the other, the historical discourse explaining how the Romans created the urban society of the Celtiberians, as the latter people Romanized. This master thesis focuses on this incongruence. Therefore, the main question is: What is the relation between Romanization and urbanization in Celtiberia? Firstly, a short overview of the Romanization discourse is given to understand the different models proposed by Curchin (2004). Moreover, the relation between Romanization and urbanization is taken in account to understand the idea of the causal relation between these two ‘-zations’. Thereafter, the discourse on ancient urbanism is taken in account to understand what is regarded as urban. The urban theory of the consumer city, by Weber (1922) and Finley (1977), is taken in account. Moreover, the central place theory proposed by Christaller (1930) is combined with this consumer city model. The urbanization of the Celtiberians is treated in four phases. The first three have been proposed by Almagro-Gorbea (1994) for the Celtic peoples of the Iberian Peninsula. This treats the rise of urban settlements from the very humble beginnings of the first permanent settlements to the large urban oppida. I have added a fourth phase to this urbanization as I believe this is the final phase. In this phase the Celtiberian urban society is reorganized by the Romans to fit the Roman Empire. It is this change that had the historians to believe that the Celtiberian city was a Roman construct. Each phase is treated taking in account its archaeological, epigraphic, numismatic and written sources in order to understand the social changes that led to the development Celtiberian urban society. Key-words: Romanization, urbanization, Celtiberia, oppida. Resumen Por lo que respecta al tema del urbanismo celtíbero, tenemos que diferenciar dos discursos. Por un lado, tenemos el discurso prehistórico considerando Celtibéria prerromana como una sociedad urbana. Por otro lado, tenemos el discurso histórico, explicando la manera en que los romanos habrían creado la sociedad urbana de los celtíberos, es decir la Romanización de los Celtíberos. Esta tesina de maestría se enfoque en esta incongruencia. Por lo tanto, la pregunta principal es: ¿Qué es la relación entre Romanización y urbanización en Celtibéria? Primero, esta tesina presenta una reseña del discurso sobre el tema de Romanización, con el fin de entender los distintos modelos que introduce Curchin (2004). Además, este informe trata el tema de la relación entre Romanización y urbanización, para que se entienda la idea de la relación causal entre los dos ‘–zaciónes’. A continuación, se discuta el discurso del tema del urbanismo anciano, para entender lo que se considera como ‘urbano’. Además, este informe explica el modelo de la ciudad de consumo, de Weber (1922) y Finley (1977). Después, se conjuga este modelo con la teoría de los lugares centrales, introducido por Christaller (1930). La urbanización de los celtíberos podemos dividir en cuatro fases. Almagro-Gorbea (1994) introdujo las tres primeras etapas para el pueblo céltico en la Península Ibérica. Esta división trata el desarrollo de los asentamientos urbanos desde el inicio humilde de los asentamientos permanentes hasta las grandes oppida urbanas. He añadido una cuarta fase al desarrollo de urbanización, ya que parto de la idea de que el discurso necesita una fase final. En esta fase, la sociedad urbana celtibérica está reorganizada por los romanos para adaptarse al Imperio Romano. Es este cambio por lo que los históricos parten de la idea de que la ciudad celtibérica era una construcción romana. La tesina discuta cada fase considerando sus fuentes arqueológicas, epigráficas, numismáticas y escritas, para que se entienda los cambios sociales que habían llevado al surgimiento de la sociedad celtibérica urbana. Palabras claves: Romanización, Urbanización, Celtibéria, oppida. 1 Index Abstract ...................................................................................................................................... 1 Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 3 Romanization: To be or not to be Roman ................................................................................ 14 The city as a central place ........................................................................................................ 28 From Celtiberian castros in four steps to Roman cities ........................................................... 37 First phase: Proto- (IX-VII) & Early Celtiberian (VII-VI centuries BCE) .......................... 40 Second Phase: Full Celtiberian (V-IV centuries BCE) ........................................................ 44 Third Phase: Late Celtiberian (III-II centuries BCE) ........................................................... 49 Fourth Phase: Roman Celtiberia (I century BCE – I CE) ..................................................... 66 Conclusions .............................................................................................................................. 88 Bibliography ............................................................................................................................. 93 Appendices ............................................................................................................................. 104 Appendix I: Timetable ........................................................................................................ 104 Appendix II: Maps .............................................................................................................. 105 Appendix III: Cities ............................................................................................................ 107 Appendix IV: Botorrita Plaques ......................................................................................... 109 2 -1- Introduction After the Second Punic war had raged on the Iberian Peninsula Rome had taken control.1 The Carthaginians were defeated and Rome had the possibility to expand its territory and incorporate the peninsula.

  • Celts and the Castro Culture in the Iberian Peninsula – Issues of National Identity and Proto-Celtic Substratum
    Brathair 18 (1), 2018 ISSN 1519-9053 Celts and the Castro Culture in the Iberian Peninsula – issues of national identity and Proto-Celtic substratum Silvana Trombetta1 Laboratory of Provincial Roman Archeology (MAE/USP) [email protected] Received: 03/29/2018 Approved: 04/30/2018 Abstract : The object of this article is to discuss the presence of the Castro Culture and of Celtic people on the Iberian Peninsula. Currently there are two sides to this debate. On one hand, some consider the “Castro” people as one of the Celtic groups that inhabited this part of Europe, and see their peculiarity as a historically designed trait due to issues of national identity. On the other hand, there are archeologists who – despite not ignoring entirely the usage of the Castro culture for the affirmation of national identity during the nineteenth century (particularly in Portugal) – saw distinctive characteristics in the Northwest of Portugal and Spain which go beyond the use of the past for political reasons. We will examine these questions aiming to decide if there is a common Proto-Celtic substrate, and possible singularities in the Castro Culture. Keywords : Celts, Castro Culture, national identity, Proto-Celtic substrate http://ppg.revistas.uema.br/index.php/brathair 39 Brathair 18 (1), 2018 ISSN 1519-9053 There is marked controversy in the use of the term Celt and the matter of the presence of these people in Europe, especially in Spain. This controversy involves nationalism, debates on the possible existence of invading hordes (populations that would bring with them elements of the Urnfield, Hallstatt, and La Tène cultures), and the possible presence of a Proto-Celtic cultural substrate common to several areas of the Old Continent.

  • Demography Roman Spain
    CARRERAS MONFORT C. A new perspective for the demographic study of Roman Spain. Revista de Historia da Arte e Arqueologia n.2, 1995-1996; pp. 59-82. A NEW PERSPECTIVE FOR THE DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY OF ROMAN SPAIN César Carreras Monfort* * Universitat Oberta de Catalunya e-mail: [email protected] In the last years, there has been an increase in the number of demographic studies of ancient societies, with the main aim to recognize the internal organization of the populations and, to some extent, how the resources of a territory determined patterns of distribution [Gallo, 1984; Parkin, 1992]. Actually, within the limits of the Roman society, these studies allowed us to revise again basic concepts such as the relationship between the urban and rural world [López Paz, 1994], or even, to discuss about the degree of urbanism that supposedly it is accepted for the Graeco-Roman world. The demographic analyses on the Roman period were recently favoured by a better knowledge now, of the urban perimeters of ancient Roman cities, and the patterns of rural distribution; thanks to the contribution of either the urban archaeology and the rural field-surveys [Barker, 1991] and cadastres studies [Chouquer and Favory, 1991]. Furthermore, the important contribution of papyrology also stands out, since they supply information on demography, which despite being basically about Roman Egypt, it can be extrapolated to other provinces [Hombert and Preaux, 1952; Bagnall and Frier, 1994]. These new documental evidences allow us to carry out a new estimate, from another viewpoint, of the population in a very particular province such as Roman Spain, and also they become a headway in the detailed study of population patterns.

  • Craft Production: Ceramics, Textiles, and Bone
    OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 06/04/2013, SPi c h a p t e r 2 6 craft production: ceramics, textiles, and bone j o a n n a s o f a e r , l i s e b e n d e r j ø r g e n s e n , a n d a l i c e c h o y k e I n t r o d u c t i o n Th e Bronze Age witnessed an unprecedented fl owering of craft activity. Th roughout the period there were developments in decorative motifs, techniques, and skill with distinctive emphasis on the pleasing aesthetic through intricately elaborated objects made of a wide range of contrasting materials. Th ese include metal, clay, bone, textiles, wood, bark, horn, antler, ivory, hide, amber, jet, stone, fl int, reeds, shell, glass, and faience, either alone or in combination. Yet this period precedes the development of the state and urbanism, in which the creation of art became recognized as a distinct activity. Although the Bronze Age was a period of common cultural values across Europe, craft s were performed in regionally specifi c ways leading to diversity of practice. Local develop- ments in metalworking are well understood, but a frequent emphasis on metalworking has oft en been to the detriment of other craft s, some of which played a major role in everyday life. Th is chapter examines craft production in three contrasting materials that would have been widespread in the Bronze Age: ceramics, textiles, and bone.

Analysis of a Celtiberian protective paste and its possible use by Arevaci warriors Jesús Martín-Gil*, Gonzalo Palacios-Leblé, Pablo Martín Ramos and Francisco J. Martín-Gil Abstract This article presents an infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis of residue adhering to a Celtiberian pottery sherd of late Iron Age date from the Arevacian site of Cerro del Castillo, in Ayllón (Segovia, Spain). This residue may be a paste used since antiquity for protective aims. Orange-sepia in colour, made from crushed bones and glue, the paste was used by Greeks and Romans and later in the construction of the cathedrals and monasteries of Europe to confer a warm colour to the stone and to protect it against environmental deterioration.

  • 1 Settlement Patterns in Roman Galicia
    Settlement Patterns in Roman Galicia: Late Iron Age – Second Century AD Jonathan Wynne Rees Thesis submitted in requirement of fulfilments for the degree of Ph.D. in Archaeology, at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London University of London 2012 1 I, Jonathan Wynne Rees confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis examines the changes which occurred in the cultural landscapes of northwest Iberia, between the end of the Iron Age and the consolidation of the region by both the native elite and imperial authorities during the early Roman empire. As a means to analyse the impact of Roman power on the native peoples of northwest Iberia five study areas in northern Portugal were chosen, which stretch from the mountainous region of Trás-os-Montes near the modern-day Spanish border, moving west to the Tâmega Valley and the Atlantic coastal area. The divergent physical environments, different social practices and political affinities which these diverse regions offer, coupled with differing levels of contact with the Roman world, form the basis for a comparative examination of the area. In seeking to analyse the transformations which took place between the Late pre-Roman Iron Age and the early Roman period historical, archaeological and anthropological approaches from within Iberian academia and beyond were analysed. From these debates, three key questions were formulated, focusing on

    ISSN: 0212 - 2052 ANALYTIC SUMMARY José DAS CANDEIAS SALES O longo texto de inspiração filosófica e religiosa atribuído a Petosíris, sumo sacerdote do deus Djehuti/ Tot na região de Hermópolis, no Egipto dos séculos IV- III a.C., esculpido nas paredes interiores do seu túmulo, em Tuna el-Guebel, é um repositório condensado de memória (individual, familiar e civilizacional) e de prin- cípios éticos e morais que se inscreve na multimilenar tradição sapiencial egípcia e que se destinava a transmitir e a ensinar aos homens que «vivem na terra» regras de bem viver, os muito apregoados metjen en ankh, «caminhos da vida». Palavras-chave: Memória, Sabedoria, Tradição, Inscrições funerárias. The long text of philosophical and religious inspiration attributed to Petosi- ris, a high priest of the god Djehuti / Tot in the Egyptian region of Hermopolis in the IV-III centuries BC, carved on the interior walls of his tomb at Tuna el-Gebel, is a compact repository of individual, familiar and civilizational memory as well as both ethical and moral principles which fits in the multimillenary Egyptian wis- dom tradition, which was intended to convey and teach men who «live on earth» rules of good living, the so called metjen en ankh, «ways of life». Keywords: Memory, Wisdom, Tradition, Funerary inscriptions. José PASCUAL This paper intends to demonstrate that Epicurus’ life was influenced by the political facts that Athens went through during the period from 341 to 267 B.C. and also that through the analysis of Epicurus’ critics to the three elements that support the polis, especially the Athenian polis, the paideia, the participation in the political life and the religion of the polis, it tries to prove that the philosopher constituted a different community from the civic one which identity signs where far away from those of the polis.
