	Livius Picture Archive: Tarraco (Tarragona)
		After 27 BCE, the emperor Augustus used Tarraco as base for his operations against the tribe of the Cantabri, one of the largest wars in Roman history, involving nine legions (I Germanica, II Augusta, IIII Macedonica, V Alaudae, VI Victrix, VIIII Hispana, X Gemina, XX Valeria Victrix, and another unit, perhaps VIII Augusta.).
		The monument known as "the tower of the Scipiones", near the Via Augusta about eight kilometers from Tarraco, is not really the tomb of the Roman generals Publius and Cnaeus Cornelius Scipio, who were defeated and killed in 212 BCE by the Carthaginians.

		But it also emphasises the distinctiveness of Tarraco, which was the only capital with a very clear-cut complex for the provincial imperial cult, where statues of the flamines were put up according to similar prescriptions as in the lex de officiis et honoribus flaminis prouinciae Narbonensis.
		Tarraco also seems different in the composition of its élite: its society was, as G. Alföldy has already noticed, very open to the aristocracy of provincial towns, something that is, as far as we can see, not the case in Corduba or Augusta Emerita.
		Tarraco, Corduba and Augusta Emerita were capital cities, and Panzram is perfectly aware of the consequences of this status on the composition of the élite, which mixed local and provincial aristocracies that were in close contact with imperial power.

	Tarraco (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In 217 BC, with the troops installed and the defence of the new military base ensured by a fortified wall, the Romans began the conquest of the inland areas occupied by the Ilergetes, the Lacetani and the Ausetani, allies of the Carthaginians.
		The role of Tarraco as a fortress was thus consolidated.
		During this period, the loss of Tarraco's status as capital in favour of Tolosa (Toulouse) and then of Barcino (Barcelona), and finally (in the 6th century) of Toletum (Toledo), meant that city grew out of touch with the decisive political centres of the period.

		This settlement process came to an end with the territorial consolidation of the different tribes that made up the socio-political mosaic of the eastern areas of the Peninsula in pre-Roman times, as a direct consequence of the contact between those native groups with the various groups of Mediterranean colonisers (Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians).
		Simulataneously, Tarraco was founded, as the main winter base for the Roman troops in Hispania, thus beginning the long and complex process of the incorporation of Peninsula territory into the new political, cultural and economic order of the Romans, a process in which Tarraco was to play a vital role.

		Our Roman city of Tarraco enjoyed a well-delineated golden age spanning nearly five centuries, born, as Titus Livius describes, through the devoted efforts of the Scipio family, in the year DXXXVI after the founding of Roma.
		The efforts of the Scipios were redirected toward establishment of Tarraco as a great fortress to block further reinforcements from the Poeni in Baetica, to the south.

		Tarraco (Tarragona) had at least two aqueducts, one with its source in the Rio Gayá, NE of the city, and the other with its source in the Rio Francolí, to the north.
		The Gayá and Francolí aqueducts served the higher parts of the city with its monumental provincial forum, which lies on a hill to the east of the port area.
		The Gayá aqueduct had its water intake point probably close to Pont d´Armentera in the Gayá river northeast of Tarraco, and in that case was the longest roman aqueduct of Tarraco (Pont d´Armentera lies 7 km east of exit 10 on the motorway A2 from Barcelona to Lleida).

		This book certainly has many strengths: descriptions of the sites and structures are precise and detailed, the 79 drawings are clear and well-executed, while the 66 photographs at the end of the book provide good visual support for the account.
		This is the case for the placement of the temple of Tarraco (141-149 and 225-226), the unlikely identification of the 'curia-temple' of Botorrita (47 and 52-53) and the alleged promotion of Clunia as conventual capital under Claudius (176 and 195, 197 and 201).
