This monograph surveys the advances in scholarship made in the quarter-century since the publication of the author's The Local Magistrates of Roman Spain (1990). It includes extensive revisions to the Catalogue of Magistrates, and entries for more than 200 new magistrates, based on epigraphic and numismatic discoveries. There is a full bibliography, and an index nominum of the new magistrates.

Reimagining Hispania. History to Epic in Silius Italicus' Punica2017 •
This paper aims to compare the image of Spain and the Spaniards that Silius Italicus presents in his epic account of the Second Punic War with the one portrayed by his main source, Ab urbe condita. It will explore how and why Silius alters the role played by the Spaniards in the history of Livy beyond the well-studied case of the Saguntines, which will be examined as a reference point. The paper will focus particularly on Punica 1-3, in which the Flavian poet recounts the fall of Saguntum and introduces the rest of the Spaniards as Hannibal's allies in the war. It will argue that the poet overrides historical veracity in order to present an image of Spain recognizable to his contemporary audience. This image is a complex one that combines barbarism and civilization and ultimately shows that in the eyes of the Romans, Spain was part of the Empire, although preserving an alien and exotic identity.

Corduba/Colonia Patricia: the colony that was founded twice2011 •
Corduba is an exceptionally interesting example for understanding the different processes associated with the complex phenomenon of Roman colonisation and territorial expansion in the provinces. The first Roman settlement in the area took place during the earliest stage of the conquest, at the beginning of the 2nd c. BCE, in a phase contemporary with the development of the very concept of colony on the Italian Peninsula. The archaeological evidence from Corduba is also especially valuable for exploring the material culture of a town inhabited from the outset by Romans and local peoples and for analysing, from a critical perspective, the relationship between the legal status and its material representation. In the first section of this paper, the evidence provided by the ancient sources on the establishment of a Roman settlement next to an important native oppidum is contrasted with the archaeological remains discovered in the town in recent years. Next, we tackle the question of the coexistence of several discourses on the meaning of ‘being Roman’ in Colonia Patricia through a comparison of the representation of collective identities in public spaces and of individual or family identities in houses and tombs and their relevance in the transformation of the Republican colony of Corduba into the Colonia Patricia of the early Empire.

“War, destruction, and regeneration in the middle Ebro valley (1st century BCE): The foundation of the colonia Caesar Augusta and its irrigation programmes”While explaining colonialism within a shared cultural milieu, Chris Gosden highlights the possibility that colonies may have altered the homeland as well as the colonised if operating in a period when identities were in the process of creation, as in the fluid world of the Mediterranean before the establishment of a centre with the Augustan pax romana. This paper presents supporting evidence from early Roman theatre architecture and urbanism both in the Iberian Peninsula and in Rome, as a challenge to domination-andresistance in the centre-periphery model for conceptualizing Roman involvement in the Peninsula up to the Early Empire.
