Abstract:
Since the last decade of the 20th century, Roman military archaeology in Spain has been revolutionized. In this period methodology has evolved and several sites have been discovered, mainly in the northern section of the River Duero basin and in the mountainous areas of Cantabria and Asturias. Some of these sites could be linked with the campaigns of Augustus in Hispania; others might explain pre- and post-war scenarios in the transition from the Late Republic to the Early Empire. Our aim in this paper is to present the new military sites discovered in the westernmost part of this region through geospatial technologies in combination with field surveying
