    (Universidad de Murcia, 2026-06-03) Ribera I Lacomba, Albert; Sin departamento asociado; Cutillas Victoria, Benjamín; Ramallo Asensio, Sebastián Federico
    Valencia is in the center of a large alluvial plain crossed by the Turia river. Today the entire area is extremely anthropized and largely so urbanized, then it has masked the original topography from 2,000 years ago. In 138 BC, the landscape was very different when Valentia was founded on what must have been a somewhat elevated island in a meander of the river 3 km away from the sea. The new town was in the middle of a landscape dominated by large lake, which in medieval times still reached the outskirts of the city. A reconstruction of the environment of Valencia 2000 years ago from archaeological and sedimentological studies will be exhibited and it will be shown how this alluvial space has been transformed.
