"This volume explores the transformation of public space and administrative activities in Republican and Imperial Rome through an interdisciplinary examination of the topography of power. Throughout the Roman world building projects created spaces for different civic purposes, such as hosting assemblies, holding senate meetings, the administration of justice, housing the public treasury, and the management of the city through different magistracies, offices, and even archives. These administrative spaces - both open and closed - characterised Roman life throughout the Republic and High Empire until the administrative and judicial transformations of the fourth century CE. This volume explores urban development and the dynamics of administrative expansion, linking them with some of the most recent archaeological discoveries. In doing so, it examines several facets of the transformation of Roman administration over this period, considering new approaches to and theories on the uses of public space and incorporating new work in Roman studies that focuses on the spatial needs of human users, rather than architectural style and design. This fascinating collection of essays is of interest to students and scholars working on Roman space and urbanism, Roman governance, and the running of the Roman Empire more broadly"--

El objetivo de esta Tesis Doctoral es el estudio del gobierno de los emperadores-usurpadores sobre la Hispania romana tardoantigua entre los años 350-425 d. C. Estos usurpadores son: Magnencio (350-353), Juliano el Apóstata (360-361), Magno máximo (383-388), Eugenio (392-394), Constantino III (407-411), Prisco Atalo (414), Máximo (rebelado dos veces en la década del 410) y Juan (423-425). Este estudio se ha realizado a través del estudio de fuentes antiguas (Amiano Marcelino, Orosio, Olimpiodoro, Zósimo, etc.) y medievales (principalmente crónicas bizantinas y orientales), la epigrafía (en su mayoría miliarios) y la numismática (acuñación de monedas). Además, este estudio representa un repertorio bibliográfico sobre los usurpadores romanos de Occidente y otros temas relacionados (prosopografía, epigrafía, numismática, etc.). El primer capítulo es un breve resumen sobre el concepto de usurpador (tyrannus/τύραννος), la etimología de esta palabra y los diferentes términos usados por la historiografía (cap. 1). Magnencio y su hermano Decencio probablemente gobernaron en Hispania durante dos años 350-352 a juzgar por las numerosas inscripciones miliarias (cap. 2). Juliano continuó su gobierno previo como César (cap. 3). Magno Máximo, natural de Hispania, y su hijo Flavio Víctor gobernaron en la diocesis Hispaniarum y crearon la Nova Provincia Maxima (cap. 4). Eugenio probablemente gobernó nominalmente en Hispania durante dos años (392-394) (cap. 5). Constantino III envió a su hijo, Constante, para apoderarse de Hispania en 408 (cap. 6), pero Geroncio se rebeló contra ellos y nombró emperador a Máximo. Máximo fue exiliado y de nuevo proclamado emperador por los vándalos (cap. 7). Prisco Atalo fue proclamado emperador, por segunda vez, en la Galia por el rey godo Ataúlfo en 414 (cap. 8). El último usurpador fue Juan, cuyo control sobre Hispania fue muy dudoso (cap. 9). Otras usurpaciones y rebeliones también pudieron afectar a Hispania (por ejemplo, Gildón o Jovino) (cap. 10). Los resultados muestran que el principal interés de los usurpadores por Hispania fue estratégico y parte de sus planes para conquistar todo el Occidente romano (cap. 11). La originalidad de esta investigación reside en el estudio del gobierno de los usurpadores en la Hispania tardorromana. The objective of this Doctoral Thesis is the study of government of Emperors-usurpers over Late Roman Spain between the years 350-425 A. D. These usurpers are: Magnentius (350-353), Julian the Apostate (360-361), Magnus Maximus (383-388), Eugenius (392-394), Constantine III (407-411), Priscus Attalus (414), Maximus (rebelled twice in the decade of 410s) and John (423-425). This study has been done through the analysis of antique (Ammianus Marcellinus, Orosius, Olympiodorus, Zosimus, etc.) and medieval sources (mainly byzantine and oriental chronicles), the epigraphy (mostly milestones) and the numismatics (minting of coins). Moreover, this study stands for a bibliographic repertory of Roman usurpers of Occident and others related topics (prosopography, epigraphy, numismatics, etc.). The first chapter is a brief summary about the concept of usurper (tyrannus/τύραννος), the etymology of this word and the different terms used for historiography (Chap. 1). Magnentius and his brother Decentius probably ruled in Spain during the years 350-352 to judge by numerous milestone inscriptions (Chap. 2). Julian continued his previous government as Caesar (Chap. 3). Magnus Maximus, native of Spain, and his son Flavius Victor ruled in diocesis Hispaniarum and they created the Nova Provincia Maxima (Chap. 4). Eugenius probably ruled nominally in Spain for two years (392-394) (Chap. 5). Constantine III sent his son, Constans, to seize Spain in 408 (Chap. 6), but Gerontius rebelled against them and he appointed emperor to Maximus. Maximus was exiled and again proclaimed emperor by the Vandals (Chap. 7). Priscus Attalus was proclaimed emperor, for the second time, in Gaul by Goth king Ataulf in 414 (Chap. 8). The last usurper was John, whose control over Spain was very doubtful (Chap. 9). Other usurpations and rebellions could also affect to Spain (for example, Gildo or Jovinus) (Chap. 10). The results show that the main interest of the usurpers by Spain is strategic and part of its plans to conquer the whole Roman West (Chap. 11). The originality of the research resides in the study the government of the usurpers in Late Roman Spain.

Si el krausismo y la Institución Libre de Enseñanza fueron una laguna en medio del páramo que presentaba la educación en la España decimonónica, su discípulo José Castillejo Duarte (1877-1945) representó el engarce cultural con Europa de la España de la Restauración tardía, sumida en una grave crisis política y económica durante la segunda década del siglo XX. Sólo su trabajo abnegado, unido a su espíritu liberal, tolerante y austero, fuertemente influenciado por el institucionismo de Giner de los Ríos, podía conseguir, con unos mínimos apoyos económicos y políticos, un éxito tan mayúsculo como el que supuso la intelectualidad española de la II República, que alcanzó las cotas más altas de reconocimiento internacional.If krausism and «Institución Libre de Enseñanza» were a blank on the plateau of decimononic Spanish educatión, his disciple José Castillejo Duarte (1877-1945), represented a cultural hook to the Spanish late Restoratión in Europe, immersed in a seríous politic and economic crisis in the second decade of the XXc. Only hard work, mingled with his liberal thinking, tolerant and austere, highly influenced by Giner de los Rios could reach such a success with minimal economic and political support, resulting in the intelectuality of the Spanish second Republic, reaching the highest International prestige.

"In the Roman world, landscapes became legal and institutional constructions, being the core of social, political, religious, and economic life. The Romans developed ambitious urban transformations, seeking to equate civic monumentality and legal status. The built environment becomes the axis of the legal, administrative, sacred, and economic system and the main element of dissemination of imperial ideology. This volume follows the modern trend of a multifaceted, composite, multi-layered Roman world, but at the same time reduces its complexity. It views 'Roman' not only in the sense of power politics, but also in a cultural context. It highlights 'landscapes' and puts into the shadow important administrative and legal structures, i.e., individuals viz. local and imperial members of the elites living in cities, which ran the Roman world"--
