dc.description.abstractThe archaeological site of Libisosa (Lezuza, Albacete, Hispania Citerior), a Roman colonial foundation in the time of Augustus, also houses the remains of a previous Oretan oppidum, with traces that date at least back to the Middle Iberian period. The excellent preservation of the structures and materials belonging to the final Iberian stage (2nd century-first third of the 1st century B. C.) is largely due to its hasty destruction, which took place within the context of the Sertorian War (82– 72 B. C.). The study of this stage, as well as said dating of the devastation, which offers us a privileged closed context, is supported by numerous and varied sets of materials, both amphorae (Dr 1, Lamb. 2, Brindisian, North African) and black-glazed pottery (mainly from Cales), local imitations, thin-walled vases and even products from Asia Minor. The settlement found itself in a privileged geo-strategic location for the passage of the Roman army, since Libisosa controlled the only important road of the Republican era, the Via Heraclea, the connection between the southern and the eastern parts of the Iberian Peninsula. Furthermore, the connection of our site to the great emporium of this period, Carthago Nova, through a pre-Roman road, largely opened market horizons (as well as those related to ideas) to some Iberian elites engaged in a growing process of (self-)Romanization.
