no presente artigo, refletir em que medida o estudo das ‘permanências’ se pode constituir como um procedimento útil na ativação de novas interpretações sobre a material operável dos lugares. Neste caso esclarecendo em que medida a análise sobre a conformação do traçado da antiga via romana (Via XIX) de ligação entre Bracara Augusta (Braga) e Lucus Augusti (Lugo) nos permitiu renovar perspetivas sobre as oportunidades de intervir contemporaneamente, no quadro da rede viária micro e capilar.

Centuriação e reciclagem das formas cadastrais no território de Bracara Augusta , 2017

A emergência de novas centralidades que se ligam a novos eixos de circulação e de desenvolvimento implicou uma reconfiguração dos tradicionais centros de poder e, paulatinamente, o aparecimento de novos núcleos centrais. O processo de povoamento sistemático verifica‐se, também, na área rural próxima da nova cidade, onde nos foi possível identificar evidências seguras de uma centuriação. O processo de manutenção, transformação e reciclagem de modelos e formas de habitat bem como de organização do espaço rural, constituem o principal objetivo deste texto.

Beyond the analysis of the preRoman context, the data available on the foundational urban grid as well as the one articulated with the changes in the settlement patterns in the surrounding territory of the city will be analysed. It is also intended to reflect on the role played by Bracara Augusta in the evolution of the indigenous communities of Braga region after its integration into the Empire and the reorganization of Hispania undertaken by Augustus.

a comparative study of their “Romanization”, which is made possible by the intensity of the archaeological investigations carried out over the last fifteen years. Among these similarities,
we would like to emphasize their non-Mediterranean combination of plains and highlands, the high density of occupation during the Late Iron Age and the Roman period, the presence, in both cases, of an important Roman city and the chronology, almost synchronous, of theirintegration into the Roman Empire. The aim of this paper is to analyze, in a comparative manner and in the long term (2nd c. BC. – 2nd c. AD), the «Romanization» process of these two territories using the concept of development.

town with the surrounding countryside. Using data provided by urban rescue excavations carried out over the last 30 years
in Braga, we will consider the planning and layout of the Roman town, the main features of its public and domestic architecture and the importance of Bracara Augusta as an administrative, and economic centre. Archaeological research into the surrounding countryside, concerning both the pre-Roman and the Roman occupations, shows a strong impact of Bracara Augusta on the evolution of indigenous communities, on the economic and social organization of the area and on the creation of a new rural landscape. This impact is mainly linked with the construction of the road network, with the rapid spread of villas and vici and land centuriation. Bracara Augusta as a central focus of regional development contributed to the promotion and integration of indigenous populations through the creation of a rural landowning elite and a landscape of private properties and open settlements, co-existing with some Romanized hill-forts.

A importância da epígrafe prende-se, antes de mais, com a referência ao Genio Viriocelense, que implica a existência de um topónimo, e portanto de um povoado, nunca antes notificado: Viriocelum. O local de achado da peça, nas proximidades da passagem da Via Nova, que ligava Bracara Augusta a Asturica Augusta, dá ao monumento um interesse suplementar.

EJI PATER II - Encontro de Jovens Investigadores em Estudos do Património & Território, 2022

In the context of research on the ancient settlement, the majority of the authors describe the dynamics of structuring the fortified settlements according to a hierarchical system, which converges in the recognition of strategic places, with strong legibility in the landscape. This adaptation reports on a particular condition of the space that we believe is capable of opening up new directions on the legibility of the territory.
The perspective of spatial valorisation emphasises the relationships that will be established with the geomorphological circumstances of the territory. The aim is to provide a subject for reflection that enables us to discuss the mediating role of the topography, according to three problematising axes, which structure the three major parts of the text, aligned with the themes of accessibility, legibility/ intelligibility, and visibility.
Having fixed the keys for interpreting the archaeological and geomorphological data, we move on to the first section to clarify the relationships that are established with the natural paths of the territory, and how these relationships are involved in the construction of an idea of a 'network'. In the following section, we focus on the relationships that are established with the slope, in order to complement perspectives on its role in the modelling of 'places'. We finalise with the data concerning the analysis on the matrix of relationships that are structured based on the condition of distance. In the framework of a mediation process, these relations provide information about a sense of intelligent appropriation of the territory which appears to be of great pertinence and opportunity to the debate on architectural intervention in contemporary space.

around the Roman town of Bracara Augusta and the identification of a Roman cadastre, perfectly adapted to the relief and to the main hydrographical network of the region. This cadastre is organized in modules of 20 by 20 actus with a predominant orientation of 16º NNW, what may be inferred by the clear intersection of some important axes. We have also detected two cippi with a cross engraved on their upper face, separated by 20 actus, probably connected with limits or termini.
realize the persistence of some demarcation lines that, somehow, became fossilized (older paths, division and
property landmarks, water lines, among others…). The results of this regressive and crossed “reading” of the
landscape allowed us to outline some continuities and transformations on the organization of the rural
subdivision system in the city’s periphery
Através do binómio “cidade-exército”, desdobrando os meios militares pelo território, articulam-se duas escalas: a escala das vias de circulação, mobilizando os itinerários e a logística, dividida entre a castrametação e a fortificação permanente; a escala do campo de batalha, com a sua miríade de pequenos detalhes. As sessões estão estruturadas em três temas: 1) o movimento incessante para a Guerra - colunas de marcha e campos fortificados; 2) a arqueologia da batalha - projetos em desenvolvimento; 3) a batalha, no fim da estrada - procurando e selecionando casos de estudo.
Orientado por uma visão interdisciplinar do fenómeno militar na longa duração, o Seminário tem uma componente metodológica transversal a todas as comunicações, permitindo discutir num plano internacional e atualizado o potencial dos vários ângulos de abordagem, o desenho das práticas de investigação e os seus enquadramentos em programas coletivos de pesquisa.
