El impacto de las reformas flavias en las zonas mineras del Noroeste peninsularcambios y continuidades a lo largo del siglo I d. C.

Abstract

After the conquest of the Northwest of the Iberian Peninsula during the time of August, Rome carried out a critical territorial reorganization, which was based on the complete dissolution of pre-Roman social structures and on the creation of a tributary "civitates peregrinae" system. The next stop of the process occurred under the Flavians, when epigraphic records reveal a series of changes. These indicate a new territorial reorganization with the rise of some population centres and the emergence of new axes of settlement crossing major mining areas. Furthermore, the emergence of certain families that belong to provincial power of groups during the second century AD can be traced through their epigraphic visibility. Regional changes that we see in this period suggest the possibility that there were fiscal and tax reforms carried out by the Flavians. These reforms have left evidence elsewhere in the Roman Empire. However, unlike what happened under Augustus, Flavian interventions did not lead to a break from the previous period. These reforms served to update and promote the inclusion process in the Roman Empire, which had been started after the conquest.
