Abstract: This text presents an updated survey of some capitals of civitates located in the Portuguese area of Northern Lusitania, discussing the specific configurations of the urban and social landscapes developed after Augustus. The identified civitates, some of which were closer to the ocean and others more interior and rural, provide evidence of the application of specific models of Romanization, which both in form and content, and in larger or smaller scale, concentrate and project clear symbols of the power of Rome. The text analyzes the distinctive and recurrent architectural and decorative models used in these towns, some of which show a modest urban development in what concerns both the first period of monumentalization and later periods.
Se presenta una síntesis actualizada sobre las capitales de civitates de la parte portuguesa del norte de la Lusitania. Se discuten los contornos particulares de estos “paisajes urbanos y sociales” formados a partir de Augusto. Las civitates identificadas, algunas de cara al Océano y otras más interiores y de acentuado aislamiento y ruralidad, revelan la aplicación de modelos específicos de romanización, los cuales, en la forma y contenido, en mayor y menor escala, concentran símbolos claros del poder de Roma. Se analizan los modelos arquitectónicos y decorativos distintivos y recurrentes de estas ciudades, las cuales presentan, en algunos casos, un sutil desarrollo urbano, sea en lo que respecta al primer momento de monumentalización, sea posteriormente.
