Abstract

This paper focuses on the archaeological significance of the peri-urban area of Florentia Iliberritana, a provincial civitas of southern Spain. Given the large number of archaeological sites documented in recent years, we think they offer a fairly complete picture of the surroundings of the Roman city. Thereby, an approach to the spatial organization of this network, straddling urban and rural, is realised through the study of geographic variables explored by GIS, such as viewshed, topographic prominence and the distribution of certain architectonical sites in the studied area. Finally, these variables have been evaluated through statistical tests.
