Map 24 Asturica-Conimbriga Compiled by E.W. Haley, 1996 Introduction Material for compiling a map of north-west Iberia varies in terms of accessibility, completeness and reliability. In addition to Schulten (1974) and Tovar (1976; 1989), there are now TIR Conimbriga (1991) and Caesaraugusta (1993); for Portugal (omitted from TIR Conimbriga), Alarcão (1988) is indispensable. Tovar’s volume on Tarraconensis (1989) was incomplete at his death and reflects his primarily philological and etymological interests. TIR omits certain toponyms attested by epigraphy alone, and the quality of its maps is uneven. The physical environment has changed appreciably since antiquity with virtually all of the major rivers dammed, particularly from the 1940s to the 1970s. I have attempted to reconstruct their ancient courses as accurately as possible. No substantial shoreline changes since antiquity have been identified. The varied Celtic and Celtiberian legacy of the Iron Age survives most visibly in thousands of castros, castella or citânias of the north-west Iberian peninsula (Tranoy 1981). Even TIR omits most of these native, generally hilltop, settlements known occasionally through excavation but mostly from survey; I have aimed to mark only the best-known or most representative of them. In fact many, if not the majority, of the named Roman towns shown represent little more than pre-Roman castros endowed with varying degrees of Roman material, construction and political institutions. An attempt has been made to record all ancient place names attested in the literary and documentary sources, and to mark as many of them as possible. A desire to include the archaeologically most significant sites has dictated the choice of rural habitations and mines, but it is important to note that even Domergue’s repertorium of mines (1987) is incomplete. There is no equivalent for the north-west of Sillières’ compendium of roads for southern Iberia (1990). The main highways indicated by the itineraries are shown, together with those secondary routes whose course is confirmed in places by milestones. Many scores of villas in north-west Iberia have come to light through complete or partial excavation and survey, even since Gorges (1979) published his study. Those marked here are a representative selection: they are ones that display, through excavation, outstanding architectural features, ground-plans or stratigraphic sequences.
