EL FACTOR IBERO EN LA BATALLA DE BAECULA: LOS EFECTOS COLATERALES DE LA GUERRA

Abstract

The projects focused on Baecula’s Battle and on its environment have provided us fundamental information for the comprehension of how a traumatic episode influences the local dynamics’ transformations. In  this  work  we  analyze  the  evolution  of  Cástulo’s  territory  from his conformation up to his disarticulation, as a consequence of the Second Punic War. We analyze this process from different scales, but always from the perspective of the local factor. The relationship  of  the  information  proceeding  from  the  political  territory  supraoppidum, the  changes  documented  in  the  territorial  sanctuaries  and  the  regional  dynamics  help  to complete the map of the transformation of the High Guadalquivir.
