In the scope of FCT project IGAEDIS, focussing on the agrarian landscapes around ciuitas Igaeditanorum, archaeological excavations were made in the rural settlement of Terra Grande (Idanha-a-Velha, Castelo Branco). These revealed a building of substantial size whose material culture points to a chronology between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Sever...
During the Roman period, Idanha-a-Velha was the capital of a vast administrative territory (the ciuitas Igaeditanorum), and also included a portion of land that today belongs to Spain. It is as yet unclear whether it was occupied in the protohistory period or whether it corresponded to a Roman city built from scratch in the late first century BC. T...

The identified civitates, some of which were closer to the ocean andothers more interior and rural, provide evidence of the applica...

Esta cartografía digi...

Não se devem confundir com a cartografia tradicional de solos, uma vez que, ao contrário desta, os Mapas de Uso Potencial da Terra são criados de forma a conter um valor histórico. Embora este tipo de cartog...
