Our knowledge of the topography of Late Roman Dertosa is very limited, with a serious ignorance of the very
limits of urban core. Archaeological research is slowly filling the vacuum left by the epigraphy and the ancient
texts. Excavations led in the El Rastre ravine have confirmed the existence of a necropolis area that extends in
the space that had been occupied by a suburbial area until 200 AD. Some remains of Late Roman houses are
also documented in a marginal place of the north slope of the Suda hill.
