In the last 15 years, archaeological excavations have convincingly identified the presence of the Roman army in the Roman Pyrenees (Cerdanya region, Cerretani Iberian tribe), during the 2nd-1st century BC. Joan Oller Guzmán on behalf of Oriol Olesti Vila, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona BC): territorial control and management of provincial ressources in the High Lands The Roman army in the Oriental Pyrenees (2nd-1st c. Its organised abandonment coincides in time with the foundation of the Roman city of Iesso in the last decades of IInd century BCE (120-110 BCE). The archaeological excavations at Puig Castellar of Biosca, provide us a very precise dating between the second and third quarters of the IInd century BCE (circa 180-120 BCE). The plan of this construction reminds us other buildings of the Principate such as a principia or praetorium, which were common in the Limes military camps. The excavation of the plain upper part of the hill records a distinctive building of 30 by 30 meters, which seems to be the commander’s headquarters. After a first period the military control, the region was so peaceful that the Roman administration founded the city of Iesso (5 Km away from Puig Castellar) in the last decades of the IInd century BCE. This privileged location gives the site an exceptional strategic function to control the natural corridors in a broad area in the central Catalonia. From the top of the hill, there is a complete visual control a wider area of the river Llobregós valley, which constitutes the natural pathway between this region and the Segre river, which is the main affluent of the Ebro river. The site is settled on the top of a low hill at the confluence of three fluvial courses.

Papers on the already published evidence will be accepted only if giving a distinctly new interpretation. Most of all, the session is intended for papers presenting new archaeological evidence. Over the last two decades, significant progress has been made in this field and it is the aim of the proposed full-day session to get an overview of the most recent archaeological research in the Roman military activities during the Republican period. Evidence of Roman military activities abounds, though the military sites from the Republican are far less well researched than later ones. Session Abstract: The Roman army played an important, often pivotal role in the expansion of Roman supremacy.
