Corduba y el desarrollo de su aurífero conventus

One of the areas of greatest interest for archaeology in
Cordoba is the Sierra Morena. The Mons Marianus was
the most powerful mining district of Hispania, together
with the SE peninsular, during the Republican period.
However, that part of the Turdetan land so sung in
literary sources had not been the subject of intensive
archaeological research, as a landscape and territory,
until the implementation of the AEI FEDER HAR 2016
77136-R project. We offer here a hitherto unpublished
view on the founding, the Boom, of the settlement
linked to an extraordinary mining activity. The
Guadiato and the Via Corduba-Emerita, evacuation
channels of the seams, will organize a linear settlement
where mainly rural areas will be articulated with the
rich municipalities of Latin law of the Beturia emerged
from the Flavian period.
